…Many attractions and tourist relaxing places, whether they are located at North, Central, Northern East, or the South of Thailand.... Each of them encompass themselves with different charm varied by its unique geography and local weather.... Many resorts just start to construct while many are already very popular and many more have been known for a long time regardless of the size of the hotels, whether it's big or small....

...Some of these relaxing places are the dream destination for many to at least experience once in their live times, especially when you driving towards South. We are driving across Sapan Sarasin of Phang Nga province and heading towards Phuket on its Western South direction until we reach "Cape Panwa" at the end. Surely, this is the dream destination for both many Thai and foreigners who choose this place to be a special vacation paradise, "Sri Panwa Phuket".

...And to not waste any more time, please also follow my other works here. After that, let's begin our relaxing journey at Sri Panwa"

…Sri Panwa Phuket...is situated on Sukdidech Road and at the end of Cape Panwa, Phuket....It is a wide resort. It places the scenic viewpoint, villas, swimming pool, and resting area on the hierarchical geographical hills. And truly under the nature of lush greenery...

...View from the lobby, as soon as you pass the front security, you will arrive this area, check in time is 2 pm...You will be warmly welcomed by welcome drink, then you can also take some rest in the area....That day was very hot, especially in the early afternoon like this, I have to say the cool refreshing towel really can call back some of our enthusiasm.

…From the below photo, Sri Panwa offers variety of activities for our vacation fun time, depending on guests' preferences.

...Looking out the window from the lobby, even though the sun is too strong but in exchange of this pretty clear blue sky and crystal clear water with a touch of some wind blowing up until here, it is such a refreshing and sweet feeling given by the great mother nature.....

...After that, just simply leave languages there and it will be traveled to our villa later, which is LV11... For me, I just carry my best friend, the camera, and my very fun heart to start seeing around. And our first stop is “Baba Pool Club".

… Baba Pool Club…It's in the area for breakfast, swimming pool, restaurants, souvenir shops, games room and sports room....But before anything else, let's take a walk outside in this hot wind and take some beautiful shots of this wonderful sky....

..The walk way is paved with big pieces of brick leading to our dining tables which is on the same level with the horizon...Very beautiful and perfect for the place.....

... Although with no roof or any umbrella, it makes no problem to the guests as usually the guests will come relax and enjoy their food when there is no sun like morning or evening..... Baba Pool Club opens from 7 a.m. to about 11 p.m. It offers Italian food, Japanese food, and BBQ grilled style food.

...Beautiful, Cool, Unique may be the feeling of me and many others who have seen this design of table placement and the shallow pond as a good effect to the walk way that looks so amazing in every angle.

... Looking far end from this photo is the swimming pool. On the right is the small bar that offers some beverages and food. As for where you want to enjoy them, it's just anywhere as you wish.....

...From the big picture, now let's look at more specific angle....

... The leaves are blowing back and forth with a small wave in the pond created by the moving wind under the sun that is unlikely to reduce its heat.....With this atmosphere, nonetheless, it is kind of cooling us down a bit....

...Well, refreshing beverages will just make everything better, and this is a must here as well. So here I'm willing to put them outside a bit for photography as they will look much better under the sun....

...Another set of food that help boost up afternoon energy is the yummy Japanese Sushi set...This set offers just the right amount of food, not too full and not too less. As of its taste, it's more than good, especially the eel sushi that after having one, I wish I could magically have another ten.....

... Continue to relax and sit a little while after our afternoon snack, then I will start to explore the hotel again. Now, we are still at Baba Pool Club area, but moving onto the souvenir shop where clothes, bags, necklaces, and many small souvenir gifts are available.....

... Upon stepping inside, it just feels so good, the air conditioning is cool and I simply just don't want to go out anymore...haha.....Inside is decorated by yellow as the main color, even though not the red color, but feel very good.

...After souvenir shop, now let's go to Game Room.

...As soon as I walk inside, I like it immediately. A pool table outstandingly sits in the middle of the room and on the far right is a table tennis table. This is such a perfect sport place for those who like gentle indoor sports :)

...And now it's small balls table. I think if anyone loves this game, you cannot be missed here. For those who can play well, your hands will be so busy......but for those who can't play like me..... will need to take a long time in order to get one ball in.....still, another kind of fun, haha...

...Moving to this corner, I think everyone will love it. Not only the children, but some adults can also so enjoy that they might even forget the time once they find this steering wheel and the actual gears connected to Play Station 3 like this..... Up until today, I can say that I've never seen any resort equip with things like this.....This can be called Hi-End Game Room......

...After some pool game and about an hour of cool air conditioning time, let's go to find out how elegant and beautiful our villa is.....

...So then I continue to use the shuttle bus service from Sri Panwa, which is known as Subaru....On the way to our villa, we are going pass Sport Complex, which includes tennis court (I didn't have any photos here since there were under renovation back then), fitness room, and sauna room....So here, I have some photos of fitness room to share....It is a very spacious fitness place with a cool air conditioning, opens from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m......

...Finally, we arrive at our villa, LV11, under the name “Angel". Upon you open the door, the villa is divided into 2 different room, left and right....... And the front is a wide panoramic endless sea view.........

...Looking out from the bathtub, you will see the water with the horizon in the far distance.

...The sliding door can also slide off the bed and bathtub....In addition, we also have the outdoor showering.....

...With the sound of leaves blowing above.... especially when birds also singing on the branches in the morning...cold wind touching us softly.... and just simply look far to the clear blue sky when taking shower. For these reasons combined, this outdoor small space becomes my regular place for my every showers.... It is indeed a very wonderful bathroom....

...After that, turn around and we will see that on our right is the indoor bathroom.

...Below photo shows the bedroom that is taken from bathtub angle.

...One more shot from the bed looking back to the bathtub....

...A brief glace at the clock, the time is already there. So I have to stop the mission of taking photo of our LV11 villa first, and go to explore another villa and come back again in the evening.....

... Since the villas and places of Sri Panwa is built on hills, so walking can be easily tired. The resort then provide free shuttle service as the main transportation. We can call the staff at anytime....and appoint the time that we need to go and the staff will come to pick us right on time......

...And the next station for our walk is “Beach Pool"

...Beach Pool is the swimming pool which is not too big and not too small....

...When giving a quick look around, we will be impressed by the lush of greenery trees around....in which Sri Panwa didn't cut them down because they want to preserve the nature as what it is.... So if we want to look further to the sea view below, it might be a little bit inconvenient. But overall in the long run, I have to say having trees....making us feel save and more reassuring in comparison to the emptiness.

...This area is quieter when comparing to Baba Pool Club ... Because the space is quite limited. But it is not too quiet as Beach Pool is the leading path towards the beach of these villas....as the following photos will show...

...Another photo for the wide view of Beach Pool that is over looking to the villas....And like I mentioned earlier, having trees may block the view but it's good that these trees help reassure the stability....

...After these photos, let's move onto the beach below....

...Step by step, slowly, then we reach the beach...... The area is not so spacious.......

...Even though the sand here is not so white but it's sufficient for the beach. More importantly, many people love this beach for it is very serene and greatly private. It is very suitable for those who just want to enjoy the atmosphere of the beach, to feel some wind. We can also walk onto the rubber bridge that is floating in front of us now....

...This beach, besides it is a pier to serves guests for going around the islands, it is also a good spot for photography.....

...After some short time down here on the beach, now let's go back on to our next area awaiting to be explored which is “Cool Spa" ...

...As soon as the car drops us at the gate of Cool Spa area, it's like we have come to a totally different world...The decoration and design is very natural. It gives us a very soft, natural and comfortable feeling and not a bit of tense. This place truly is so suitable for finding some relaxing moment....

…For the below photo, you will see that there is stairs in the middle, walking down will lead us to spa rooms and massage rooms.... And above the land is the receptions for welcoming guests and recommending services to the guests. After that, the staff will take the guests to enjoy their services downstairs....

...I think this area is very attractive, it looks mysterious and make us want to discover... Not to just simply build it but play with it a little bit. I think this small little thing is very creative and can easily draw smiles on our faces...

...Cool Spa offers many variety of services, like spa, beauty cares, nails, yoga, and sauna.....

...On the space that is, like any other area, surrounded by greenest nature from trees and bluest clear sea...

...Upon you choose your massage package, Cool Spa will have a form for you to fill out as to understand what kind of massage you prefer and if you have anymore questions, the staff is more than ready to provide you with the best possible service.

...After that, let's go take a quick look at our massage room downstairs. Here the area is divided into different zone.....I will give some 2 room examples here.... before, I, myself also will go enjoy an hour massage while waiting for the sunset that is soon to arrive ......

...One more small angle that will sparkle up the dimension of the room when lighting is visiting.

...And after this photo, let's go change, listen to music and enjoy our relaxing massage.....while waiting to be up again to appreciate the sunset. In addition to relaxing massage Cool Spa has to offer, this area is also a good spot for taking sunset photography.

...After having our muscle relaxed from the massage under the most classic atmosphere, now it's time to relax our eyes in the natural way.....

...Cool Spa area may not be very convenient for photography as there are many trees up front, however, there's enough open space for shooting. As for beauty, there's no doubt since we are on high angle.

...While I'm busy shooting photos, the staff of Cool Spa is very cute, they bring me the water without having to ask. I thought that may be they saw that I was standing taking photos for a long time so that I must be thirsty..... Before my thirst is relieved, my heart is already fully filled....

...The big giant sun is eventually turning into pink and all the heat from daytime also gradually disappearing.... What has left behind is just the wind that keeps blowing, continually.....

...The time is slowly passing by and with a few shots taken, now it's time to go back and shooting some more villas' photo before it's getting too dark.

...Let's end our Cool Spa with these 2 photos.....

...Photos of villa LV11 Angel here is the collection of my 2 days stay during evening time for everyone's convenient and continued appreciation. Like this photo is taken the next day and I insert it here....

...From this photo, it shows the entire space from looking back inside to the villa Angel LV11 angle . The entrance door is in the middle, and the room is divided into left and right room.... and the sitting room is located to the left room...

...And another angle from within out....I have to say the atmosphere is very romantic, it is the perfect paradise for the new sweet honeymoon couples...

...The small swimming pool in its L shape, swimming back and forth for several rounds can also give you some exercise....

...Now, let's look at our room on the right....Roses are spread all over the bed, making the room looks much more beautiful and classic.

...Behind the bed is the small counter, we can put some small things or make it an office table is also ok as we also have the chair to use with.

...This room has no dinning table but this sofa inside instead. It is so comfy to just rolling around on the sofa, nicely relax and simply rest our eyes by looking at that silver blue sky in the evening and I have to say it's so good and relaxing for the eyes.

...This view gives us the overview of the room, we can just jump into the water once that door is sliced to open......

...Another worthy facility is for the cable lover. Sri Panwa provides the true vision cable and more importantly, it's the Platinum package, every channels are available as you wish. You can fully enjoy your vocation here with this Hi-End service.

...Now let's look at opposite room which is a bit different. The dinning table is located in the room or you can eat out under the roof. Also outdoor is provide a bed to comfortably enjoy the sea in panorama view.......

...The TV may be a little bit far from the bed..... but we can turn it towards our bed direction ...

...The bathroom is also available in both room....wardrobe, nightwear, hairdryer, and showering suppliers are fully provided.

...From the second photo, when we look out we will see the rubber bridge outstandingly stretching towards the sea with some light reflecting from its neighbor.

...This balcony under the roof angle is so comfy and breezy. If we can also slowly enjoy our favorite drink here, I'm sure that day is definitely a happy and joyful day.

...Let's end tonight with the lighting from our neighbor, and when looking far, we will see buildings and hotels that go far until behind those hills...

...Our first night is ended by exhaustion on the happiness that we got to feel various different atmosphere all day, like on the beach, Spa, and the sunset viewpoint....I think now I should go to bed soon so that I can wake up early to appreciate the sun that will rise over the horizon the next morning.

...This morning, the weather is not so much on our side, I don't get to see the sun slowly arisen behind the horizon.....Once I see it, it already goes up this far.

...But the sky is still showing her full beauty to us, no different than yesterday....Since we are up so high, the wind is also simply saying hello to us since early morning........

...There will be only a few times in our lives that we can wake up and see the sun in front of us, and this is one of those times that even if we are lazy to wake up, simply open our eyes on the bed, we can also enjoy this beauty of life....

...I'm not a morning bathing person, but under this attractive environment, I cannot help myself but jump into the shower before it gets too sunny..... Simply listening music from the phone and the birds singing.....so fin (Thai slang - meaning very happy) since the very early morning.....

...After waking up a while, I just simply laying here and there to enjoy this relaxing moment. When my stomach starts to call for some food, then I think it's time to fill up this morning energy. So then, I call to the staff to pick me up and then we are heading towards Baba Pool Club for our breakfast.

...This morning starts with a very energetic atmosphere both from the guests and the food that we are going to see now.......

... Breakfast is very variety including beverages, snacks, desserts and many more.....

...It is indeed a lot of food, not so often that I see many lines of morning breakfast.......More significantly, the taste is just so so good!

...For breakfast, most guests prefer to sit indoor since outdoor is quite hot as the sun is already here.

...Khanom Jean Bo and Ho Mok (crab meat in noodle and curry paste). There's only one word to describe it " the best of the best". Personally, I'm already fond of Khanom Jean and Ho Mok, when I first see it, I'm already very happy. But once I try it, of course, one plate is simply just not enough.

...Finished our breakfast and also some times for relaxing, now it's about 10 a.m.

...All day today, I spend most of the time just chilling and relaxing, and just simply taking photo shootings here and there. Only in the evening, after the sun is fading a little bit then I start to seriously photography again at “Baba Nest". This viewpoint scenic place is very beautiful and consider another classic sunset viewpoint in Phuket.

...The Baba Nest starts to open for guests from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m......

...The area is quite small when comparing to the guests who wish to come enjoy up here as many people also just want to come here and enjoy the sunset time......

...The special holiday, no matter travelling with family, friends, or lovers, all consider a very special moment, especially when in the midst of a beautiful place that is surrounded by beautiful scenery from the top angle....

...The image of happiness and memory and the world's top accommodation which is a dream destination for many people, including me. And now that spell of happiness starts to cast its magic right in front of us.

.. The golden sun gradually falls down into the light in the reflection that glisten with the sea beneath.

...The shutter sounds from big cameras, small cameras, phone cameras are getting intense while the light of the day is slowly fading away.......

...The evening atmosphere is slowly getting warmer, gently.......

...The light of the day is now changing and I will be leaving the next morning..... I feel 2 days 2 nights here is still too short and simply not enough.....

...Sri Panwa Phuket... is the dream destination for many people. Of course, on the very special occasion that we are ready to give it as again, once in lifetime happiness, we may have different way to present that. And this is true to many people who have chosen this place to be the place to fill up memory, smiles, and happiness......

...For me, I can't ever be sure whether I will have a chance to return here.... All I know is that while I'm writing all these words and recall my memory back to my time at Sri Panwa, I feel very happy every time I'm thinking back....The scenery that day on this high up viewpoint from Baba Nest is still very beautifully and always deeply planted in my memory......

...I want to end with this photo of the sun coincidentally reflecting herself into the sea and making another sun in the most astonishing moment that the nature has to offer that day.

...Every photos that I take, I still keep them with the best care and waiting for some good time to come. If I had a good opportunity, I wish to be able to breath out with no single waste at the top of the hill at Baba Nest, once again ......And hopefully, I will see you again... "Sri Panwa....Phuket".....

...Thank you very much to everyone, until we see each other again, Sawasdee Krab :)
