Deevana Patong Resort

Deevana Patong Resort


The appeal of the Deevana Patong Resort is its secluded tropical garden with spa offering you tranquility and rejuvenation in the middle of the otherwise overly busy Patong Beach in Phuket, Thailand.

Apart from walking around in the luscious, tropical gardens, I enjoyed the Deevana Patong Resort for its spa. You could guess it: the spa is also located in the gardens with adjacent rejuvenating pools. Ideal for a romantic spa experience with your partner as the Deevana Spa is deigned to offer you seclusion and privacy whilst relaxing outdoors in nature.


An unforgettable natural rejuvenating experience with typical ancient Thai beauty therapies as well as traditional Swedish therapeutic massages, aromatherapy, foot reflexology and even a slimming massage (not that I am in need of one, wink wink...).

The Deevana Patong Resort reviews range from between very good and excellent, especially in the low season when you manage to upgrade yourself to a superior room with a Jacuzzi :-) Make sure to book in the spa wing and avoid the old and run down garden wing.


However do enjoy the peace and tranquility of the resorts garden if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Patong beach. As anywhere in Thailand, staff is friendly and location is king in Phuket: only a small walk away is the overly well priced May's Restaurant serving delicious local food at equally local prices. The resort's restaurant however serves good Thai food as well.


All in all the Deevana Patong Resort is recommended for a clean, quiet and peaceful stay in otherwise busy and touristy Phuket

Is it safe to travel to Thailand

Is it safe to travel to Thailand


2 reasons why it is again safe to travel to Thailand:



  • the US State Department has already stopped their travel advisory for Thailand

  • after any unrest or curfew has been lifted in Thailand, it's always amazing how fast Thai people return to their well known smiling and peaceful life.


If you still are not convinced, then do know that the recent unrest between the yellow-shirts PAD and the red-shirts UDD was only concentrated in a few areas in Bangkok. It has been safe all the time to travel to other Thai destinations like Phuket or Chiang Mai. Unlike the previous time: no airports were part of the unrest and all flights are running normally at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport.


Thailand has always been a destination for budget holidays, where backpackers can find cheap accommodation for next to nothing. One man's loss is another man's treasure: the unrest in Bangkok caused such an unseen drop in foreign visitors to Thailand that traveling to Thailand has become cheaper than ever. Thailand's hotels and resorts are in a price war and cheap all inclusive holidays are a plenty. Also note cheap air fares: the Thai Airways' Discover Thailand pass only costs $278 and lets you fly to any 3 cities within Thailand.


For Americans, Thailand is even more inviting than ever: the Thai Tourist Authority from now onwards waives all fees and any visa requirements for all American travelers who wishing to stay in Thailand beyond the normally 30 days.


Is it safe to walk on the beaches of Thailand?


Koh Samui Thailand


The only time Thailand could become not safe is when you are walking on the beach at Koh Samui and some hungry Thailand monkey wants to snatch some fruits out of your hands. Other than that, traveling to Thailand is as safe as ever but cheaper than ever!
