When exited the arrival hall we've proceeded throughout the maze of people holding hotel/taxi signs. I didn't see my name so stepped aside. Few minutes later I've spotted person holding sign with my name on it.
He was actually bell boy from the hotel. When I approached him he called for the hotel van which was parked near by.

Ride to our hotel took about 5 minutes. Drove via streets which were very familiar to us, as we've stayed in that area in April of this year.
Our hotel, Dewa Resort is located in Sirinat National Park. Right by the airport and right on the beach.
The check in area is outdoor. We were greeted with cold pomagranate juice and cold wet towels.
Couple of minutes later we were being walked to our villa with private pool. I think I've paid $70 a night for the villa. It's so cheap because is still out of season. During high season, price for the villa goes between $175-$300 a night.
The manager explained everything, showed us what is where and left us alone. Shortly after our bags arrived.













The pool is nice, but you can't swim in it. The deepest part is 1 meter deep. However, if you want to swim, they have two full size pools on the property.
The nicest part of this stay was outdoor bathroom (toilet is inside). But the shower, bathtub and sinks are outdoor. It's so cool to take showers outdoor

After unpacking, we've wandered around to check the hotel sites. They have big outdoor (covered) game room. You can play biliard, fusball, pingpong, take a cooking class or yoga class.
The next mission was to search for the convinience store. Less then 5 minutes walking distance from the hotel there is Family Mart, 7-11 and day market. We've got some snacks, drinks and returned to hotel to rest for few minutes.

The weather was nice so we've decided to go to the beach and relax a bit. We found nice spot on the beach where I could watch airplanes take off over the Andaman Sea. However, after about 30 minutes I fall a sleep.
That was the queue to go back towards our hotel and get some lunch.

Right next to our hotel is Boss Bar. We've been there couple of time before during our last stay.
The food quality is nice and the prices won't kill you like in any other touristy areas.

I can't be watching my weight while on vacations in Thailand, so I went full throtlle
This is what we had: Warm minced pork salad, fried shrimps, fried calamari in garlic and pepper, and farmers pork.












When we got back to our room I wanted to take a nap. That was around 5pm. Next thing I know its 3am and I can't sleep anymore

My girlfriend was still sleeping, so I was enjoying whiskey by the pool
