    To anyone angry and upset, please remember that Dr. Luxury visited these places before the pandemic began - his videos are *weeks* behind what we see here.
    Dr. Luxury would never endanger anyone and just wants to show us beautiful parts of the world. As per his blog, he has cancelled his upcoming trips and he doesn't care about travel now. By posting these videos, he is NOT encouraging us to go now, but maybe he is giving us something to think about later when it is safe to travel. The tourism industry is suffering now and will need our help when it is safe again.
    I think we could also all agree that we could use some relaxation! Thanks for posting, Dr. Luxury.

    I visited this resort on my trip to Thailand last November. Thailand is an amazing and beautiful country...but this resort was the highlight of the trip. the most relaxing trip of my life thus far. the service was amazing. our concierge (Ms. Friday) arranged everything for us so that I didn't have worry about a single thing during the trip. Loved the food. the snorkeling excursion was wonderful too. Thank you for your recommendation.

    I was at the Soneva Kiri recently on my 4th visit to Thailand. I agree with you that Soneva is my favorite brand of resorts and Soneva Kiri is possible the most stunning eco-luxury resort in the world. I stayed at the Villa 51, a Sunset Ocean View Pool Villa Suite of almost 500 m2. The experience was astonishing. I think that the 6-Bedroom Villa of the video was the Villa 63 that was fully destroyed by a fire last summer. It was located near South Beach. On my way to South Beach I saw the site and new buildings were on construction there.

Just curious as to how things have impacted your travel plans in the midst of this terrible pandemic. Thank you!
