I am finally getting around to posting about our wonderful Chinese New Year holiday - in Thailand! First, I will talk about our resort. When we were planning our trip, we were completely overwhelmed with all of the hotel/resort options. Everything looked wonderful from the pictures and of course there were excellent and horrible reviews for every single option!

After changing our mind about 10 times (no joke), we finally "settled" on the Holiday Inn Resort Patong Beach. What a great choice we made! I am sure we would have been happy with all of our runner up options too, but this resort was perfect! The rooms were clean, the pools were great (especially the toddler AND kid pool - each had a water slide which Ava adored), the kid's club was a perfect way to escape the heat, the food and drinks were reasonably priced and the location was ideal! We were right in the middle of town, so it was easy to cross the street to go to the beach, or take a walk down the street to go shopping and, if we didn't have an almost 2 year old with us, the bar scene would have been fantastic (located just outside our resort, although you couldn't hear all the craziness from our room or even the pools)!
Our flight was delayed getting into Thailand, so we didn't arrive to the hotel until about 5:30 am (as opposed to the planned 3 am arrival time). However, as we pulled near our resort, you would have thought it was 5:30 pm with all of the people still out and about partying! Everything was still so alive, it was crazy! Luckily we were all able to take a few hour nap before exploring all of the pools!
