So Long Koh Hong

We are back to reality after our honeymoon to Koh Yao Noi, an island in Phang Nga Bay off the coast of Phuket, Thailand. It went by fast, but was the trip of a lifetime. The resort was amazing. We will do additonal posts later, but wanted to give the high-level summary sooner rather than later. Hope everyone is well!

Arrival at the resort, http://www.theparadise.biz/. Our room is on the hill on the left. View of the surrounding hongs from the resort beach.Infinity pool at resort, always was there when the 90 degree heat was unbearable.


Palm trees lining the resort beach.

The outdoor portion of our bungalow including a view. Not shown, the outdoor shower from which this photo was taken.


Our mosquito net over the bed. They decorated the bed and had a bottle of sparkling wine and fruit basket awaiting us in the room.


Sunrise from our bungalow bed (no photoshop used, it was like this every morning)

The resort spa, you arrive, go into their grotto steam room that has Thai aromatic roots mixed into the steam, then cool off in the garden pool with a waterfall. They then give you a cup of homemade tea before heading off to the treament room, a little bungalow with mosquito net walls where Erin and I had our massages together.Elephant trekking near Krabi, Erin was an expert. Longtail boat arrival to Koh Hong island during our island hopping tour. The beach at Koh Hong, without a doubt the most beautiful place we have ever set foot on...crystal clear waters, 100 foot limestone cliffs, tropical fish we snorkeled with, and sands whiter than our Norwegian skin!Swimming at Koh Hong.

Lagoon inside Koh Hong, your eyes deceive you, the boat isn't suspended in mid air, that is water it is on.
