I also love traveling to Thailand, with Phuket ( I found a great masseuse there!!!) and Koi Samiai the best. I do not like staying in hotels or resorts, I would rather rent a condo, with full access to multiple rooms, a terrace, and a full kitchen. All have a pool, gym, 24 hour security. Just my choice !!!!!!
Thanks for sharing, maybe I'll try it :-)
