Sawadee krap, welcome to Phuket – the biggest island in Thailand! As one of Thailand’s most prominent destinations, there are lots of things to do in and around Phuket.

In spite of virtually limitless destinations in the ‘Pearl of the Andaman Sea’, we do understand that travellers may not want to always be outside the whole day. You may instead want a quiet, fun, and slow-moving day.

You just want everything – including the pool – to be just a stone’s throw away from where you sleep. Just like a king or a queen of laziness. In order to achieve that holy mission, what’s better than staying in a luxury room with direct access to the pool?
