There will come a point in life where we’ll have the urge to get away from life and seek solitude in a peaceful foreign place – either to mend a broken heart, seek the meaning of life, escape reality or simply to unwind and have a peace of mind. Either way, it requires a quiet, peaceful and comfortable setting, possibly away from the hustle and bustle of the city and its inhabitants, and close to nature such as the forest, beach or an island. 🙂
The Therapy of Sunlight, Forest Sounds & Ocean Waves
Krabi, Thailand holds a special place in my heart because of the fond memories I have of the place. Through my research, I found several hidden gems exclusively for relaxation and solitude in Krabi. Unlike my previous 4D/3N Backpacking Krabi – Fun & Adventurous Travel Itinerary where I engaged in various fun and adventurous activities at sea and in the jungle, this time I spent most of my time exploring and relaxing at Tonsai Bay and Railay Beach of Krabi.
From limestone caves to bamboo huts in the secluded forest, idyllic beach-side bar and even fun Thai cooking classes, I found peace and joy during my 4D/3N’s getaway to Tonsai Bay and Railay Beach, Krabi. Actually, I’m kind of reluctant to share this bit of information because then, my happy place will risk being flooded with people once the news gets out. On the other hand, it will benefit people especially those seeking relaxation and solitude, so I decided to share it nonetheless. 😉
