I have to start smiling when I hear the sounds of the tropical gardens surrounding our villa at Garrya Tongsai Bay - several birds singing, frogs croaking in so many different, funny ways and the wind in the palms and trees. A happy place!

Sublime entanglement of life force energy pulsing through the ether. Every morsel, step, breath, and gaze activates your being, reminding you that you are nature. You dissolve into a vortex of mountain, waterfall, forest, and firefly frequency as the quiet envelops your mind. The food, a the food. Sleeping in the chorus of a jungle symphony calms the Soul and inspires ways of being Beyond.

My first trip to Vietnam led me to Angsana Ho Tram, a hidden paradise three hours from the airport. The fatigue of the journey faded the moment I arrived. Each dawn, I ran by the pool, watching the sunrise, feeling heaven close at hand. Later, with beer by the glass-walled restaurant facing the shore, I found perfect peace. More than a stay, it became a treasured memory I yearn to share.

From a BanyanTree Krabi’s pool suite, unforgettable sights captivate: vibrant sunsets paint the Andaman Sea in fiery hues, limestone karsts rise majestically from the bay, and the lush Khao Ngon Nak National Park’s tropical forest enchants. The resort’s elegant Thai-inspired architecture, with spacious suites and intricate designs, blends seamlessly with nature, creating a serene, luxurious haven.

“Move at the pace of water.”
The lagoon and the ocean taught and reminded me that strength can be gentle and progress quiet.
Quiet doesn’t mean slow.
When I connect softly with nature, I draw strength - then move forward powerfully again.
Life stops rushing, and everything begins to flow again.

The soft breeze would whisper to me: work can wait, the world will carry on without you, so take this precious moment for yourself. It will never come again, but the memory will last a lifetime.

If I could gift one part of this experience, I wouldn’t choose just one. Working here gave me so much — learning opportunities, personal growth, and the chance to meet so many different people. Every challenge and connection helped me evolve. You don’t leave the same person you were when you started — and that’s what I’d want to share.

During my stay in Koh Samui, It felt like it was whispering a quiet reminder: slow down, disconnect, and be present. I realised how precious it is to spend time with my family, away from the noise of the world, and to truly enjoy each moment together. This place has a magical way of grounding you and making you appreciate what really matters

Feel free and relax.
