Cape+Kantary is a magazine that you will find in all the Cape and Kantary Properties .   In this edition - (Pages 78-80) one writer visited Cape Kudu Hotel, Koh Yao Noi and stayed at Baan Yuyen .  “Feeling at Home just took on a whole new meaning” In fact, it’s not your typical two-bedroom pool villa at all!  In fact, it’s not so much a ‘villa’ as it is a fully furnished abode that feels luxuriously…liveable. In other words, your own actual holiday home: 1,314 square-metres of familiar comforts – think books, toys, charmingly mismatched crockery – all to your loved ones and yourself. This home-away-from-home consists of two annexes, each with its own double bedrooms, linked by an open terrace.  Each annex has its own restroom, bathroom and yes, private pool (that’s not one but two pools on the property). Additionally, the main villa boasts a 25 square-metre fully equipped kitchen area and a generously appointed living area. ...

Chiang Mai BUT NOT animals

Today’s post is by  http://www.girlxdeparture.com   and is about 10 things that you can do if you visit Chiang Mai that do not involve riding elephants or petting tigers  http://www.girlxdeparture.com/things-to-do-bangkok/   .  1)       Wander around the many temples in town, please remember to dress appropriately  2)     Learn about a monk’s life, when you visit the temples you may even be approached by one and it is a wonderful chance to learn something – we do have monks visiting Kantary Hills daily if you would like to offer alms. 3)       Stuff your face at a night market, this should not be too difficult with the number of places selling food when you go to a market 4)       Visit Doi Inthanon National Park,  https://goo.gl/maps/WqofS7DA1fk ,  the highest spot in Thailand – read their full travel guide about it - https://www.yogawin...

Chiang Mai’s wonderful waterfalls

Image
Today’s post is by Chiang Mai best https://chiangmaibest and is about the waterfalls in Chiang Mai - http://chiangmaibest.com/the-best-waterfalls-in-chiang-mai/ “Chiang Mai’s nature is best known for forested mountains, several lakes and a good variety of scenic hiking trails. Lesser known but equally beautiful are Chiang Mai’s wonderful waterfalls that come in different shapes and sizes.” 1) Bua Tong Sticky Waterfalls - https://goo.gl/maps/mEfcZidF5uE2 - whether the nickname is because of the level of calcium in the water or because you will get sticky we cannot confirm 2) Mae Sa Waterfall - https://goo.gl/maps/cQpGLkUvTgF2  - 10 levels of waterfalls, wonderful, but can be busy on holidays or the weekends 3) Huay Kaew Waterfall - https://goo.gl/maps/QuSHRVV11jx - very photogenic 4) Mae Ya Waterfall - https://goo.gl/maps/h9BHrzquxNT2 - located in the middle of Doi Intahanon National Park but worth the trek. 5) Mae Takhrai Waterfall - https://goo.gl/maps/5FF...
