Hotel Riu Naiboa

Hotel Riu Naiboa

The Riu Hotel at Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic belongs to the Resort on the long tropical beach next to the warm water of the Caribbean Sea. All rooms of Riu Naiboa have a Air-condition, TV, balcony or terrace and a own hot water bathroom. To the perfect white beach it´s about 250 meters through the shopping street of the high class Resort. The small booking office offer daytrips around Punta Cana and the whole country. The friendly and multilingual service will help you to find a Scuba Diving Course and other activities. Riu All Inclusive is not just a slogan; here you get food, cocktails, beverages and many other thinks like snorkel gear or the fill up service for your mini bar without extra payment. The buffet has all kind of local and international food. The Cocktails on the pool bar are the right choice for a nice holiday here at the DomRep on the Caribbean Sea in America. The prices are more expansive than at a Guest House for travelers but for that you get a four star service. The Riu Naiboa Resort is a good choice for tourists who like comfort and luxury at holidays. Many people from around the World come here for vacations and honeymoon to enjoy the good service of this nice Hotel and the tropical weather on the beach of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I can recommend this hotel, it offer a friendly service and good food for all who like just to relax on their holidays.

Yummy Hut Restaurant – Klong Prao – Koh Chang

Yummy Hut Restaurant

Yummy Hut Restaurant

Yummy Hut is a small and good Restaurant at Klong Prow Beach on Ko Chang in Thailand. The Round about 60 square meter cosy Restaurant offer a good choise on Western and Thai Food. Her is everything fresh and not out of a can. The family who owned the Yummy Hut Restaurant is really friendly and try the best to make your dinner to the best on your holidays. The little Restaurant on Koh Chang in Thailand offer world class Spring rolls, everything home made. To the Chinese Springrolls I recommend a chicken salad and a fresh fruit shake or a Chang Beer in the evening. Yummy Hut is located at the Klong Prao Beach not far from Nid’s Kitchen which is as well a good address for authentic Thai food. I like the atmosphere at Yummie, the bamboo furnitures and the Coconut Palm Leave roof give a feeling of a Beach Hut Restaurant. Try it out and enjoy the good and fresh Thai food at Yummy Hut on Koh Chang, it will be a highlight of your vacation.

Nid’s Kitchen – Klong Prao – Ko Chang – Thailand

Nid's Kitchen on Koh Chang

Nid's Kitchen on Koh Chang

Nid’s Kitchen is an authentic Thai food Restaurant at Klong Prao Beach on the tropical Island Ko Chang in the Gulf of Thailand. Here by Nid you get a Jamaica Rastafari feeling because of the sandy bottom, the Reggae music, bamboo furnitures and the owner who look a bit like Bob Marley. The small acoiciations on the walls give a great Beach atmosphare. The food is cheap and very delicious here at Nid’s Kitchen on Koh Chang. My absolute favourit dish at Nids Restaurant is the Fried Baracuda Steak with garlic, pepper and rice. The owner and chief of the Restaurant and Pub at Klong Prow Beach is a realy friendly and funny person who like to make jokes, play african drums, dancing to the Reggae Music and make fire shows in front of the Restaurant. I feel always like at home here at Nid’s Kitchen in Thailand, it’s a nice surounding for a Dinner you will never forget. Here you will find the best Baracuda Fish Steak on the Elephant Island in the Gulf. After Dinner you get some fresh fruits and sometimes a Sangsom Rum round who invite you to drink some more Chang or Singha Beers and listen to the chill and Marley music.

Oodie's Brothers @ Kai Bae

Oodie's Brothers @ Kai Bae

The Oodie’s Brothers Pub on Thailands 3th biggest Island Koh Chang is located direct in the Tourist Village Kai Bae Beach. The Restaurant is famous for the Italian Pizza and Pasta. But many customers come as well for the live music at Oodies Brothers stage. Music artists play every evening nice Live Music, the genre is mixed of Reggae, Blues, Classics and many more. Here you can relax and listen to good music under the moon of Thailand during drinking a pitcher of Chang Draught Beer or Dine by a glass of wine. My favorite at Oodie’s Brothers at Kai Bae Beach on Ko Chang is the Calzone Pizza. The price are good for that what you get and the service is fast and friendly. A nice option to go out at holidays on the Island in the Gulf of Thailand. I like the evenings here, start with Dinner and after eat a pitcher Beer for listen to the good music at the second Oodie’s Bar on Koh Chang.

The End Beach – Bang Bao – Koh Chang – Thailand

Bang Bao Beach

Bang Bao Beach

The Restaurant “The End Beach” is located at south Koh Chang on the last public Beach in this direction. The location is fantastic: hammock’s, bamboo chairs under the tropical sun next to the warm Gulf of Thailand. The tables of the Restaurant are under Coco’s Palms with view on Bang Bao Bay and the pier with the lighthouse in the end. The Beach at Bang Bao is a nice option for day trips on the Asian Island Koh Chang in old Siam for Tourists on Holidays and Backpacker on Travel Tours who want to see a paradise Beach. Next to The End Beach Restaurant is a Massage studio where you can relax by a Oil or Thai Massage during you listen to the sound of the sea. The best way to reach The End Beach in Bang Bao on Ko Chang is by Motorbike or Taxi. For Taxi service you need to call or take a walk to Bang Bao Pier which is about 1,5 kilometers away. Next to the pier are mostly free taxis who go to nearly every Destination on the Island in Thailand. My favorite here at The End are the fried rice and of course the fresh fruit shakes which are perfect on a hot day surrounded of a tropical paradise Beach with the turquoise blue Gulf and the Hot South East Asian Sun. Here at Bang Bao Holiday dreams become true. Check it out, you don’t will forget this day on Koh Chang in Thailand.
