Beautiful Thailand
The world is opening up again as the global pandemic slows, which makes people want to travel more. I’ve enjoyed traveling to gorgeous Thailand multiple times in years past.
However, I’ve read Thailand is currently struggling with the biggest COVID-19 surge since India’s. My heart goes out to this beautiful country and their wonderful people. I wish them a speedy recovery, so that travelers could again enjoy views like these in the future.

Above, sunken seating with rows of colorful pillows perfectly matching the blue-green water surrounding it is a real wow-factor. Color is absolutely key to this Thai experience.

In the jungles of Northern Thailand, this hotel pictured above and below features a gorgeous infinity pool with a spa house at the head, where I received relaxing and nourishing treatments for skin and body. Ahhhh!

The house itself is two stories, with a black staircase railing and black window trim providing geometric structure and interest, matching the dark peaked roof.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Blog-Travel-Thailand-Spa-House-Infinity-Pool-580x773.jpg)
Below, this Thai reflecting pool shows off balanced rocks lit from underneath that appear to float effortlessly at sunset, contrasting the city skyline and modern buildings beyond. The warm color of the lit stones is energizing yet peaceful, stoking my desire to return again and again.

On the roof, an infinity pool reflects large and small rocks delicately balanced above the water. The stones light up, their orange color matching the sunset beyond.](https://kimballstarr.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Kimball-Starr-Interior-Design_Blog-Travel-Thailand-Sunset-580x580.jpg)
