Lives of the Rich and Famous

Or backpackers with reward points. We arrived in Khao Lak a day before our liveaboard departed so we decided to take advantage of our hotels.com reward points and stay for free at the 2010 #1 luxury hotel in Asia as ranked by tripadvisor. The Marriott Khao Lak was perhaps the nicest hotel we've every stayed at with the largest swimming pool in SE Asia, and most likely the nicest one we will stay at for a long time.

We spent our day relaxing on the beach taking in the sun followed by drink at the pool and a swim around the whole resort back to our pool side room. As we watched sunset we settled in for our Meditteran dinner on the beach. It's nice every now and then to splurge and live it up; however, it's time to return to our backpacker style of life as we leave for our liveaboard.

Great looking place. Did the porter help you with all your luggage?
Travel points certainly come in handy.
