| Villa No. 6 at Phuket Village |
The hamlet of Phuket Village,
our home for two of the three nights we stayed on Balesin Island, is tucked
away in the southernmost tip of the island. We were checked in at Villa No. 6. Also check out "Resort Review: Balesin Island Club - Costa del Sol"
and "Balesin Island Club"

| Outdoor jacuzzi |
Our Phuket villa, nestled in
a lush green forest, are said to be similar in layout to Bali and Balesin
Village villas with an outdoor deck, daybed, and lounge chairs and tables for
relaxing and spectacular viewing of the sunrise at Lamon Bay and the the sunset
at the Pacific Ocean side. This was an unplugged, technology-free stay as our villa had no internet of mobile phone signal.

| Loungers at verandah |
 |
| White sand beach at Phuket Village |
Our large ensuite bathroom had no doors plus the clear glass enclosures of the water closet and shower gave no privacy either. A nice touch though was the private outdoor heated
jacuzzi.

The awe-inspiring Salathip,
Phuket Village’s main dining area, reflects the style and quiet elegance of
Thai culture with liberal use of wood and scaled roofs.
It is
adorned with a mix of Thai design elements such as Buddha statues and authentic
Thai artifacts. Internet access was available here.
 |
| Salathip Restaurant |
Its traditional menu lists
Thai favorites with a complex mixture of the distinguishable bitter, sweet,
sour, salty, and hot flavors.
From appetizers through dessert, the food is
successful in delivering the vibrant tastes, lush textures, and warming tingle
of spices that the cuisine is known for.
 |
| Reception Area |
Its most popular house
specialty dishes on the menu include tom yam goong (a shrimp soup with fresh
herbs); fla neung manao (steamed fish with lemon sauce); pad Thai
goong, everyone’s favorite stir-fried noodles with shrimp; tako (a Thai rice
pudding topped with coconut cream); pad Thai, and keng deng gai. |
| Al fresco dining area |
Diners here can either eat in
the large airconditioned indoor dining room or dine al fresco, in the
large, generous outdoor verandah or sala that overlooks an unusual
black-tiled 25 m. long swimming pool, with a row of lounge recliners and
parasols along the beach, and the sea. One can dine in privacy at the Hua Hin
and Koh Samui rooms. Each can seat 6-8 persons. |
