Pak Khlong Holidays from £842

We spent a peaceful long weekend at Racha Kiri Resort & Spa Khanom, and it was an ideal escape for my mother and me. The private villas offered real privacy and comfort, with sun-lit terraces and, in our case, a relaxing pool—perfect for casual chats and slow mornings. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making every interaction warm and seamless from check-in to departure. The spa was a highlight—professional Thai-inspired treatments in a calm, soothing setting that felt like a mini retreat in itself. Dining was satisfying, with a mix of Thai and international flavors and a focus on fresh ingredients. The resort sits on a quiet stretch of Khanom Beach, so early walks at sunrise or a lazy afternoon by the water were all part of the experience. If you’re after a refined, low-key beachfront stay with spa time and a serene pace, this is a wonderful choice for a two-generation getaway. Note: it’s a bit secluded, so plan transfers and any extra excursions accordingly.

Right by the sea. Really quite location. Great for a peaceful few days. Shop just across the road with other restaurants nearby. Transport needed as it is very hilly.
