Koh Samui, Thailand {Part One}

Early on in our marriage, we promised to honeymoon once a year for our anniversary. 
Even if just for a weekend {like last year} or a day, or in this case, a whole week! Marriage is totally worth the all-out celebration. There’s so much to say about Thailand, including the gorgeous cliffside resort we stayed at {the dollar goes far in Thailand} but first, I don’t want to forget the first day there or the overall feel of the whole week..  Sun, amazing Thai food {we ate our weight in pad thai!}, hours-long dinners every night, our outdoor jacuzzi bath tub {!}, zero distractions, starting every morning with a coffee date..  it was so romantic and sweet. The first day was incredibly relaxing ~ playing in the infinity pool outside our room, sun bathing,  reading, and in the afternoon we hiked {hah, stumbled?!} down the seriously steep mountain to the beach below and to a really cute oceanside Italian restaurant..

    Wow, wow, wow! Your resort and outdoor jacuzzi is out of this world! How do you find these place, do you just browse around or have you gotten recommendations from people who have been? I love having long lunches and dinners / lunches turned dinners with Jurgen – so fun to spend hours chatting and catching up 🙂

    It is very important to 'honeymoon' each year around your anniversary OR at least some sort of vacation! I wish I could get my husband to plan our 4 year anniversary trip this year. It's like pulling teeth!!! xoxo A-

    Wow! Now THAT is paradise! Love the pool, and how lunch turned into many drinks which turned into dinner! That dinner pic is beautiful. Great lighting! Just the way an anniversary should be!

    Goodness, Thailand is simply breathtaking!

    These photos are amazing! How did you find this resort? Obviously it's one you'd recommend?! I dream of visiting Thailand one day!!

    Beautiful photos! Wow I love the infinity pool at the resort! You guys are so cute. I do have a question- who takes pictures of both of you when you are both in the shot?

    Amazing!! That is all, I have to say!! Thailand is on my bucket list, your pictures are so dreamy.

    Glad you guys had a great time.
    Bless!

    This looks amazing! I absolutely just love this post 🙂 And I especially love how you have the ones about lunch, to all afternoon, to late dinner…that is so sweet! Im glad you both had a wonderful anniversary-honeymoon!

    umm…

    WOW

    that;s probably all that's need for this post, but since i am eloquently long winded, it will not and shall not suffice..

    maybe double wow? WOW, WOW, WOWZERS!

    but seriously, these pictures are TO DIE for… and you have convinced me to go there (i always worry about visiting that part of the world because i dont eat meat, or dairy (often), or bugs, or things that don't look like mexican food…

    but i think i could handle those palm trees, that water, those infinity pools, and day long dates at one location (with multiple bottles of wine..) i mean, i could try… (:

    your pictures are so gorgeous in every single post – i just love your blog! the one of you laying on the edge of that pool is amazing! straight out of a magazine or something!

    Lunch which turned into 2 bottles of wine plus the whole afternoon and evening?! My kind of girl 🙂 I loved Koh Thao and this looks even more lovely than that. I am also a firm believer in taking some time to celebrate marriage and anniversaries each and every year. Time well spent!

    @Jenna & @Sandra – I found it on tripadvisor.. I live on that site! And yes, I'll do a whole post on the place we stayed .. it was out of this world!

    WOW. This is beyond words incredible!! Totally agree – marriage is absolutely worth the all-out celebration! The feeling of this whole post reminds me so much of how I felt in Positano 🙂
