Escape to Paradise: Your Private Pool Villa Awaits in Chonburi, Thailand
Escape to Paradise: My Chonburi Pool Villa Adventure - Holy Crap, It's Actually Paradise! (And the Wi-Fi's Legit)
Okay, so let me tell you, I've seen my fair share of "paradise" promises fall flatter than a week-old pancake. But Escape to Paradise: Your Private Pool Villa Awaits in Chonburi, Thailand? Buckle up, buttercups, because this one might actually deliver.
Accessibility - Getting There & Getting Around (No, Seriously, I'm Wheeled)
First off, the elephant in the room: accessibility. This is HUGELY important to me, and I'm happy to report… it's a mixed bag. Getting to the hotel? Pretty smooth. They offered airport transfer (and yes, they actually do have a ramp – unlike some places that claim it’s "a step" away from being accessible). The car park is free and on-site which make things easy. Inside the villa itself? Glorious. Wheelchair accessible? YES! Spacious, with ramps where needed, and a bathroom that's actually designed for getting around. Kudos to them. The exterior corridors are well-lit and easy to navigate - bonus points! The elevator is present so no worries about the high floors.
Now, the real kicker is getting around the grounds. Some areas are easily navigable, but others… well, let’s just say you might need a sherpa (or a strong travel companion). It's not perfect, folks, but it's significantly better than many places, and they're clearly making an effort. I always appreciate that.
Internet - Praise the WiFi Gods! (And the LAN Lords!)
Listen, for someone who works and plays online, good internet is a dealbreaker. "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" is a common claim, but the reality usually involves a flickering signal and the patience of a saint. Not here. The Wi-Fi is actually GOOD. Like, stream-a-movie-and-video-conference-without-tears good. And if you're old school and need that reliable Internet [LAN] connection, they've got you covered. My sanity? Preserved. My productivity? Skyrocketed. They also offer Wi-Fi in public areas. So, yeah, internet access is really covered, and that's a HUGE plus.
Cleanliness and Safety - Sanitized? You Betcha! (And Makes Me Feel… Safer)
Okay, COVID times are weird. But Escape to Paradise clearly takes this seriously. Honestly, I appreciated the level of detail. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Double check! And they’re not just slapping a sticker on it; the details are there. Individually-wrapped food options, safe dining setup, and sanitized kitchen and tableware. It made me feel significantly more at ease, which is a precious thing these days. They also have hand sanitizer everywhere. I’m a big fan of staff trained in safety protocol which is present. Having a doctor/nurse on call and a first aid kit, just adds to the confidence. They also don't skip on smoke alarms and fire extinguisher – necessary and good – it even makes you feel you are actually safe.
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking - Food, Glorious Food! (And Happy Hour!)
Alright, let's get down to the important stuff: food. I'm a big fan of hotel breakfasts, and the Asian breakfast and Western breakfast options, alongside the buffet in restaurant were solid. The breakfast [buffet] was especially tempting. The fact that you can also have breakfast in room or take breakfast takeaway service is just a bonus. There is also a coffee shop and restaurants. Being able to pick from both international cuisine and Asian cuisine is a true treat. Don't forget the Happy hour! It's a must!
I particularly loved the Poolside bar. Sipping a cocktail by the pool with that view? Chef's kiss. They have a snack bar, and a a la carte in restaurant. The bar and restaurants also have Coffee/tea in restaurant, desserts in restaurant, salad in restaurant and soup in restaurant.
Things To Do & Ways to Relax - Ahhhhhhh… Bliss.
Okay, this is where Escape to Paradise really shines. The swimming pool [outdoor]? Stunning. The Pool with view? Even better. I could have happily spent all day just floating. But there's SO much more.
- Spa/sauna – a must-have!
- Massage - get one EVERY DAY. Seriously. Do it for your soul.
- Gym/fitness - I actually hit the fitness center (briefly!), which was well-equipped.
- Sauna, Steamroom, Foot bath - All of these will get you your relaxation!
There's also a fitness center here, but let's be honest, I spent more time in the pool. There are also Couple's room, so you can spoil your partner.
Services and Conveniences - The Little Things That Matter (A LOT)
Okay, I'm already raving, but let me throw in a few more reasons why this place is awesome. 24-hour room service? YES! Daily housekeeping? YES! Concierge? YES! They even have a convenience store on-site – perfect for those late-night snack attacks (or emergency toothbrush runs!). Car park [free of charge] is also present. Laundry service and dry cleaning available too! They really have thought of everything.
Rooms - My Private Oasis (Slightly Messy, But Perfect)
Okay, let's talk about the room itself. Air conditioning? Duh. Air conditioning in public area? Good addition. I had an extra long bed, and it was so comfortable. Blackout curtains? Essential for those late-morning lie-ins. Free bottled water? Always appreciated. In-room safe box? Definitely a nice touch for peace of mind. My room had separate shower/bathtub which is a plus. And it had a window that opens! So you can let in a bit of fresh air. Daily housekeeping ensures the place keeps looking clean.
The room was perfect. With the room being Non-smoking is amazing, especially with Non-smoking rooms available.
This will be a bit strange, but I would like to mention, they have Additional toilet in some rooms.
For the Kids - (If You're Into That Sort of Thing)
I didn't bring any kids, but the place is definitely family/child friendly. They have babysitting service and kids meal available.
Getting Around
Airport transfer is available. Plus car park on-site and car power charging station – good for charging your EV.
The Verdict - Book It. Seriously. Book It Now.
Look, I'm not easily impressed. But Escape to Paradise in Chonburi genuinely surprised me. It's not perfect, and maybe the details can get a little messy at times, but the experience is so good, and the staff are so lovely, that I actually forgot about the minor imperfections. The real star of the show is the vibe - it's just peaceful and relaxing.
My only regret? Not booking a longer stay.

Luxury Pine Apartments: Islamabad's Best Civic Center Living!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's polished travel itinerary. We're diving headfirst into the messy, glorious reality of a week at Baan I Un Pool Villa in Chonburi, Thailand. Prepare for sunstroke-induced rambles, questionable food choices, and the undeniable truth that even paradise has its off days.
Day 1: Arrival & the Mango Tango of Doom
Morning (like, really morning): Arrive at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) in Bangkok. Honestly, the humidity hits you like a brick to the face the second you step off the plane. I swear, my hair immediately frizzes into a sentient creature. Immigration? A blur of smiling faces and vaguely menacing stamps. Then, the glorious, chaotic dance of finding a taxi. Pray to the travel gods you don't get stuck with a driver who thinks "fast" means "near-death experience."
Mid-day: The glorious, bumpy, slightly nausea-inducing ride to Baan I Un. You expect tropical bliss, you get… well, a seriously long drive into the countryside. The villa itself? Magnificent. The photos do it justice. Pure, unadulterated "OMG, is this real life?" vibes. The private pool? Chef's kiss.
Afternoon: Unpack (or, as in my case, attempt to unpack while simultaneously collapsing on every piece of furniture). Explore the villa. Find the hidden outdoor shower. Instant euphoria. Consider never leaving.
Evening: Dinner. This is where things get real. I was lured in by the promise of fresh mango sticky rice. Oh, the sweet, tropical siren song! I order two portions. Two! The mango was perfect. The sticky rice… let's just say I underestimated the sheer stickiness of the rice. My teeth are still glued together. The sugar rush? Epic. The subsequent sugar crash? Traumatic. I spend the rest of the evening questioning all my life choices while attempting to brush the rice remnants off my tongue. It was a culinary battle.
Day 2: Poolside Perfection (Mostly) & The Great Mosquito Massacre
Morning: Wake up to sunshine. Seriously, I do. It's a miracle. Coffee by the pool. Re-read emails, then delete them. The ultimate form of self-care. Spend a delightful half-hour watching a gecko trying to catch flies on the wall. The gecko is a master of the art. I am not.
Mid-day: Swimming. Sunbathing. More coffee. Read a book. Get distracted by the butterflies flitting about. Life is good. Or, it was good… until I made the fatal mistake of thinking I was immune to the sun. Sunburn level: lobster. I'm talking face peeling, shoulders throbbing, the whole shebang. Learn my lesson: SLATHER on the sunscreen, you idiot.
Afternoon: Attempt to nap, but the mosquitoes. Oh, the mosquitoes. They are relentless little demons. Each bite feels like a tiny, infuriating poke. I wage a war armed with citronella candles and a desperate prayer to the repellent gods. I lose miserably.
Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant. This is where the REAL food adventure begins. I order something that is, shall we say, "authentically Thai." It's a spicy, garlicky, noodle-y explosion of flavor that both delights and terrorizes my taste buds. I simultaneously moan in pleasure and sweat profusely. Consider the "ice" level of my water for my next meal.
Day 3: Temple Trouble & Coastal Chaos
Morning: Head to the local temple. It's beautiful, serene, and filled with enormous, golden Buddhas. I stumble around, trying to be respectful, feeling deeply inadequate. The intricate carvings are stunning, the atmosphere is calming, and I'm secretly judging everyone's shoes.
Mid-day: Drive along the coastline. The views are spectacular. The roads… well, let's just say they're "character-building." We stop at a beachside cafe for lunch. Fresh seafood, salty air, and the constant threat of seagull thievery. I leave with a tummy full of delicious food and a lingering fear of avian pirates.
Afternoon: Attempt to go for a swim. The waves are deceptively strong. Get tumbled around like a ragdoll. I emerge from the ocean, soaked, sandy, and slightly traumatized. Deciding that beaches might not be my forté.
Evening: Back at the villa. Wine on the patio. Watch the sunset paint the sky in fiery hues. The perfect end to a day of near-disasters and unexpected joys. Reflect on life. Consider going to bed early.
Day 4: Market Mayhem & Massage Bliss
- Morning: Venture into the local market. It's a sensory overload. The smells (good and… interesting), the sounds, the frenetic energy. I buy a funny hat and some fruit I can't identify. The fruit turns out to be delicious. The hat? Questionable purchase.
- Anecdote: Got hustled by a fruit vendor. I was so overwhelmed by the variety of produce, the exotic names, the sheer loudness of the market… I pointed and asked "What's that?" and ended up buying three of something I didn't even know what was. Turns out, they were super sour, and perfect. I'm calling it - a win.
- Mid-day: Massage time. This is the highlight of the trip so far. I nearly fall asleep. My therapist has the strength of ten men and the touch of an angel. Emerges feeling like a reborn human.
- Quirky observation: The massage room is filled with the scent of lemongrass and something else… something vaguely medicinal that I can't quite place. Whatever it is, it works.
- Afternoon: Sit by the pool. Try to relax. Fail because still thinking about what to make for dinner.
- Evening: Start cooking. The kitchen at the villa is amazing, but my culinary skills are… limited. Manage to make a vaguely edible Pad Thai. Mostly edible. Lots of errors, but hey, it's delicious to me!
Day 5: Island Hopping and The Boat That Tried to Kill Me
- Morning: Embark on a boat trip to some nearby islands. Expectations are high, bordering on idyllic. Reality? Well…
- The Boat: The boat. Let's talk about the boat. It's small, rickety, and the engine sounds like a dying dragon.
- The Ocean: Choppy. Very choppy. I spend half the time clinging on for dear life and the other half trying not to hurl my breakfast into the turquoise abyss.
- Emotional Reaction: Pure, unadulterated terror, mixed with a strange sense of exhilaration. I swear, I aged a decade in those few hours.
- Mid-day: The islands themselves are stunning. White sand, crystal-clear water, and a complete lack of other humans (thankfully, the lack of humans wasn't a result of the boat sinking). Snorkeling is a revelation. Fish of every color imaginable swim past me. It's a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss.
- Afternoon: Back on the death trap (I mean, the boat). The return journey is even rougher. I consider swimming back. The mental image is hilarious.
- Evening: Collapse in a heap at the villa. Drink copious amounts of wine. The bruises and seasickness linger.
- Stream-of-consciousness: Never again. Seriously, no more boats. Unless it's a giant, luxury yacht with a chef and a masseuse on board. But probably not even then. My emotional state is: boat trip trauma.
Day 6: Poolside Reflections & Last-Minute Souvenir Scramble
- Morning: Spend the entire morning lounging by the pool. Seriously, no agenda. Just pure, uninterrupted relaxation, finally! Read the book I started three days ago. Get up to get more coffee, then get back in the water. Pure bliss.
- Mid-day: Time to buy souvenirs. I realize I still haven't gotten anything for anyone. Panic mode: activated. Race around the local shops, desperately searching for the perfect gifts. Everything is either too cheesy or too expensive. Settle for some elephant pants and a box of weird, dried fruit.
- Afternoon: Back in the pool. Realize I'm going to miss this place. The villa, the sun, the slower pace of life. The constant threat of sunburn, mosquito bites, and culinary catastrophes.
- Evening: Pack. Attempt to eat the rest of my now-crumbling mango sticky rice. Fail. Drink another celebratory glass of wine, and start making plans for a return trip!
Day 7: Farewell… for now!
- Morning: One last, lingering look at the villa. One last swim. One last cup of coffee. The sun already feels too hot. I'm ready to go.
- Mid-day: The drive to the airport. The familiar rush of Bangkok traffic. I am emotionally fatigued.
- Afternoon: The long flight home. Reflect on the trip.
