After a leisure breakfast at The North Hotel, with Mr Kitt's help again, we boarded a song-taew to Naga Hill Resort.

Naga Hill is a lovely hideaway retreat nicely tugged away into a beautiful natural setting so well designed that we hardly notice the bungalows as we wandered through its premise.

Being fully booked, we were fortunate to be given a specially large bungalow reserved for the owner and his guests. We loved it the moment we set sight on it and we loved it even more when we were shown the interior.

Constructed with bricks and bamboo, the bungalow boosted a huge bedroom, a spacious living cum dinning area, a large kitchen area, a roomy bathroom with an adjoining open-air shower area. The balcony that overlooked the surrounding greenery was our favourite resting and reading corner.

Naga Hill is situated next to a large peaceful lake and the opposite side of the lake is a beautiful garden, a project supported by the King's mother.

We also explored nearby eateries to savour different Thai dishes and cooking styles. Daddy Alvin had been eating so much that he would sure to put on weight if he were to stay here for a month.

The Naga Hill Restaurant is a delightful area comprising dark wood furniture with mats and triangular cushions. It has a splendid view of the neighbouring farmland and distant hillscape. Next to the restaurant is the salt water pool for a healthy swim and dip.

The salt water pool was another area of fun. Although not big, the pool has a deep end and served us well. The water was freezing though and Robyn has a teeth-chattering experience.

While soaking in the hot spring water, we read books and relaxed.
