"Ploy on the Beach"
Another family trip to Koh Chang. This time we're going with my girlfriends. It was meant to be a reunion kind of a trip, but I did bring my family too. It was nice to see and chat with my old high school girlfriends again. We didn't do anything adventurous at all. We stayed in a nice resort, talked about what has been going on in our lives - just wanna catch up, and REST & RELAX. All of us has been tired from our work/life balance in everyday life in BKK. Going out there in a peaceful island and relax in a wonderful resort, Gajapuri Resort & Spa, is just what the doctor ordered. I came back refreshed. I wished I had one more day to relax there.

My husband and sweet little Ploy were also happy. It was probably one of the happiest trip ever for Ploy as one of my friend also brought her 3 children. They played together and my daughter just didn't get bored like when she went alone with us in other trips. This was so good as all parents do have time to spend with ourselves and really get RELAXED, I could even get to go out and sit at the "pool bar" and have some cocktails! How cool was that!

The resort itself is "one of a kind." I don't know about others, but I do like it very much that I have to write about it. At Gajapuri, there are not much to do, but that was all I, we (and I think a lot of people) would need: Clean, nice and big room with big screen plasma TV and DVD player in each room. The resort also provides tons of movie (very updated too) for guests to borrow. The bath and dressing room combined into one hugh room with jacuzzi inside was perfect. Ploy loves it very much. I guess the space design for the room is excellent.

The breakfast is also good. There were some different items that I didn't expect to find in a usual hotel/resort's breakfast that comes with the package. Besides regular bread, croissant, ham, salad...there were also Spaghetti Carbonara, nice hash brown, Vegetable stir-fired with butter, etc. And all tasted good. I'm impressed.
Now, the best part for me is The Spa. The lady who massaged me was very good. Plus the 20% discount offer, it's even make this one of the best experience. (sorry, I was so enjoyed that I forgot to take picture of the spa.) The resort provides a little "sala" at the beach front for guests who like to get massage and treatment along with the sea breeze. I meant to try having another massage at beach front sala, but didn't have enough time. Till next time, then.
But the best part for Ploy is actually the pool. It is not so big that it scares small children, but not too small either. There is a nice jacuzzi pool that we all sat in and just relaxed with the jacuzzi massage. The kids played in both pools and had a lot of fun - while, of course, I and my friends were sitting at the pool bar sipping wine and chatting... I didn't have much to write on as we didn't do much at all. Like I said, this was a really "RELAXED" trip and we pretty much just enjoyed the stay at the resort. I will definitely go back there again...soon.
