The Scent Hotel

Literally a feast for the senses, or at least the olfactory system, once you light your complimentary incense. Step back in time and choose between a European, Chinese or Thai colonial-style suite (there are 15 in total), all brimming with luxury and opulence but filled with individual pieces to set them apart from eachother. It’s set on Bangrak beach, which is clean, swept and great for swimming. Restaurant food is on the pricey side, but the included breakfast is huge. The charming staff are welcoming and on hand to arrange taxis, tours and free kayaks.
