Where the Grass is Greener
June 29, 2010 7:49 PMI’ve been back to Thailand for almost a month now and I can’t believe how time flies. After many sleep deprived nights and slavishly working on my dissertation proposal to meet the deadline, it has now been submitted and I’ve had a series of trips to nearby provinces to recuperate from all the stress.
One of these trips was to a province I’ve never been to before – Ratchaburi, a province that lies next to the border of Myanmar. Our sole purpose in going there was to stay at The Scenery Resort, a peaceful Mediterranean-themed resort in a natural setting with live barn animals for guests to experience life at a farm (albeit a luxury one). This place consists of only 7 individual villas, all uniquely designed, so bookings are filled up very quickly. Luckily, our reservations were for a weekday so we were able to get the 2-bedroom villa. The villa we stayed in was called Ruzi and I loved everything about it, from the country-styled decorations to the rooftop deck for barbecues.
Sheep are the major selling point of this resort, and there are a flock of them for guests to feed and play with. Other activities include archery, horseback riding and kayaking, although we didn’t have time to indulge in all the activities. It really was a pity that we only stayed for one night but it still did the job of rejuvenating me. I would really like to visit The Scenery again, but perhaps in the winter time (if you can call it that in Thailand) so it wouldn’t be so swelteringly hot.
