Bhundhari Spa Resort: part 2

The Bhundhari is a complete five star resort offering every type of recreational activity for the adult. There is a gym, a library, coffee corner, banquet room, restaurant; Wi-Fi is everywhere and 24-hour room service. However, the beach is not very accessible because of the hills and rocks.

The food at Bhundhari is combination of Thai and international cuisine. The hillside restaurant offers breathing view of the ocean and surroundings.
The hotel is simply magnificent but is it the spa that is the highlight. Built in traditional Thai style architecture, it offers a combination of soothing environment, open spaces, and serenity. This is the place to come to relax, enjoy food, and get spoilt. The resort has superb professional massage therapists who can meet all your needs. Rest assured, your feet will be gently massaged, and your back will receive the most relaxing rub in aromatic oils.

The Bhundhari is not for everyone- the atmosphere suits those who are seeking the outdoors, quiet, peace, and a chance to reinvigorate themselves. Certainly this is not a hotel for the young adults seeking excitement.

The bhundhari is somewhat expensive but worth every penny. The lowest price starts around $179 and include breakfast. Some package deals also come with mid morning, lunchtime snacks, afternoon tea, and even cocktails. The deluxe villas cost anywhere from $250-$450. With the current recession, prices of rooms have dropped significantly. Deals are easy to find and you have the power to bargain.

Bhundhari Spa Resort, Thailand

For those who have money and want to have a luxurious holiday, a visit to Koh Samui can be an enjoyable experience. For many years, Koh Samui catered to the ultra rich and wealthy. Today, anyone can go to this island paradise in Southern Thailand. While Koh Samui is well developed and has many luxurious hotels, one of the latest is the Bhundhari Spa Resort. This hotel is designed as a luxurious spa retreat and located close to the beach of Chaweng. The surrounding landscape offers breathtaking beauty and a panoramic view of the resort. Bhundhari relates to the water lily and is a common religious flower among Buddhist monks.

Bhundhari Spa Resort & Villas is located along the northern shores of Chaweng Beach, surrounded by tropical vegetation and a pristine beach. The resort is easily accessed by car and is about 5 kms from Samui airport. The hotel is only about a 10-minute walk from the heart of Chaweng city if one wants to go for shopping, dining, and entertainment. However, be forewarned, coming back it is a steep uphill climb back to the hotel

Even though the hotel is a family-oriented resort, there is little for children to do. Accommodation ranges from family suites to deluxe villas. All rooms are exclusively decorated in modern design with traditional Thai furnishings to add décor.

Each of the 124 rooms has all the basic amenities but some villas also have whirlpools, Jacuzzi, private swimming pool, and even private terraces. You will even be provided with slippers, bathroom robes, and beach bags.

No Hands Restaurant in Bangkok- Erotic but Expensive part 2

The menu is exorbitantly priced. In a country where you can eat for less than $ 3, the menu here starts of at $20 and more. The drinks are 3-4 times the normal price. The girl usually does not eat- her job is to please you. She may even walk with you to the bathroom and help you get refreshed. The restaurant is not known for its Thai cuisine, because the majority of guests do not have food on their mind- only dessert.

The hostesses are exceptionally pretty and very sexily dressed. The seating booth is private and some hanky panky does occur, this is not Thai style. The girls prefer you take them elsewhere and the bill starts to add up.

Following dinner, you get your “dessert”. You have a few options- you can get a partial or a full massage, naked or semi naked- the massage may be soapy, no hands, oil or you can take the girls downstairs or across the hotel for the real “cheesecake”.

By the time you have had you dinner, paid the tip, had a soothing massage and impregnated one more Thai girl, the bill will be close to $150-$200. For this money, you can get 5-6 great looking girls each night at any of the clubs in bangkok.

Bangkok is full of such thrills and sex is often used to lure unsuspecting foreigners. No Hands Restaurant caters to rich Japanese and Oriental tourists who prefer not to go out to more seedy places or red light districts.

In summary, the No Hands Restaurant is okay if you are rich, have no friends, cannot find girls anywhere in Thailand and are a real loser. For the man who wants to have a real good time in Bangkok, stop wasting your money on another one of Bangkok’s rich scams. For the male tourist on a back pack, this is not the place you want to come. There are many other great places to meet girls for a lot less.

No Hands Restaurant in Bangkok- Erotic but Expensive

There is no doubt that Bangkok is an exciting place. There are more thrills in this city than almost anywhere in the world. Bangkok is at the top when it comes to mixing SEX with everything. Sex sells and Thai people know how to market it. Now we have the No Hands Restaurant in Bangkok.

For those of you who do not like to eat with their hands, the No Hands restaurant may be worth a visit. This does not mean that you eat with your feet, but you get a sexy gorgeous girl to feed you. Bangkok is always at the forefront of enterprising technology – mixing sex with business, now it is sex with food. The No Hands Restaurant has been around for many years. The premise of the hotel is very simple- get gullible male customers to come in for dinner and get fed by a sexy thai girl of your choice. The No Hands Restaurant has about 62 private rooms and 150 beautiful hostesses

This trend was adopted from the massage parlor business in Thailand. You walk into this restaurant, you get to see many girls wearing sexy clothing; many girls are exceptionally pretty and charming- you can pick one of them to feed you. For some years, the owner also has a menu of photos from which you could pick the girl(s). You will be escorted to a private booth. Once you pick the girl(s), she comes and sits next to you and sometimes even on your lap. She will feed you and take care of you.

Of course, your hands are free to roam everywhere. The girls know what to expect and it is part of the business deal. While your hands roam on her body, she will feed you and occasionally massage the "delicate parts" of your body While all this sound great, there are some negatives
