The Local Side of Thai Life–with a Little Luxury Added

journeypod continues to jet-set all over Southern Thailand to explore the more laid-back area of Krabi.

A trip to the touristy town of Ao Nang brings back memories of Nha Trang, Vietnam. (Visit our archives from June 2008 to listen to our podcast shows from Vietnam)

This small beach-side town is loaded with shopping, restaurants, bars, and clubs. 

The best “local” dessert is mango sticky rice, or kao neaw ma mung. It’s delicious and fattening! And try the Pad Thai at Ao Nang Cuisine.

For a more authentic and local feel, drive about 30 minutes outside of Ao Nang to Krabi Town. At the main intersection of town you will be greeted by a most unusual landmark–cavemen holding up the traffic signals. If you’re hungry, don’t fret…this is, after all, a small Thai town. Day markets, night markets, roadside stalls, noodle shops - it’s all here. And it doesn’t require much effort to find.

When you’re ready to check-in to sleep off the jet-lag or the one too many Singha beers, journeyPod recommends Rayavadee. Rayavadee, meaning “Island of the Princess” is fit for a princess! It is a luxurious resort at the tip of the Krabi peninsula.

Let’s take a listen as Brian Harries from Rayavadee talks to journeyPod.com and then we’ll get pumped up with the upbeat sounds of AX and their song “Thai Massage.”

Luxury and Wellness Combined in Thailand

journeyPod is your guide to luxury travel around the world.  Come along as we explore Thailand. Our first stop is Phuket, then we head over to Krabi for our next show. On today’s show, we hang on the private island of Naka and explore the rich man’s playground that is Phuket.

Phuket is indeed touristy.  But journeyPod was able to cut through the commercialism and head off the beaten path while still experiencing some of the local sights. We visited Chalong Temple, The Big Buddha, Phromthep Cape, Rawai Beach and the sea gypsies, and the Sino-Portuguese architecture on Thalang Street.

We stayed on Naka Island — home to the new Six Senses Destination Spa. If you’re thinking super-spa, you couldn’t be more wrong!  Six Senses Destination Spa is the anti-super spa. This is the place to come if you really want to get away and experience an overall change in wellness. Oh, and your butler will take care of everything for you. It’s luxury and wellness combined! In fact, the Prince of Dubai recently stayed there!

Let’s take a listen as Bryan Hoare from Six Senses Destination Spa talks to journeyPod.com and then relax with the soothing sounds of Leerone and her song “All is Well”.
