One of the things we consider when traveling is accommodation. Sometimes, we based it on our budget. Sometimes, we don’t care about the cost as long as it gives us comfort. As I’m used to simple things, it isn’t a big deal for me. Be it a cozy expensive hotel or a half-decent hostel. I couldn’t care less. What matters for me is the experience and places that I get to discover. Actually, I wanna try backpacking which means sleeping in small inns, getting exposed to insects and noise pollution, eating food that suits your budget and such. So, when my husband was on his computer checking some hotels, I told him that a cheap one would be enough. Apparently, he booked the opposite. According to him, my comfort is his priority. How sweet this man is! Haha. I didn’t complain because aside from we rarely travel abroad, we just got married so you could say it’s some sort of honeymoon though we didn’t mention that it was indeed a honeymoon. It was just a normal trip outside the country.

Avani is a five-star hotel which undoubtedly lives up to it’s name. Wat Paknam is a 30 minute ride from here which is a plus. A money exchanger with a higher exchange rate than the hotel is within your reach. Definitely recommended!
