![]() Thailand did away with its travel health insurance requirement before our trip, so we never had to show proof of insurance. A friend in Thailand at the same time wasn’t so lucky and needed to use meds from her Duration Health kit. We brought a kit of medicines and antibiotics from Duration Health and didn’t need it – we stayed perfectly healthy, but then all of our meals were at the resort or prepared by the resort. My daughter using an Unbound Merino t-shirt as a coverup post-SUP ![]() All electrical outlets can handle European or US plugs. A daypack came in handy for the boat excursions. Even if you dress up for dinners you’ll still want light clothes – it never got cold, at least in February. ![]() Primarily pack lightweight clothes, sunscreen, a swimsuit and a sun hat. I brought a pair of long pants and never wore them shorts were perfectly acceptable. It’s very flexible so you can pretty much do whatever you want – just don’t come to dinner in your swimsuit. Some kids wore dresses or collared shirts, and some stayed in t-shirts. Some couples looked nicer, some were casual. In general during the day people wore shorts and t-shirts, or swimsuits and coverups. Six Senses Yao Noi Dress Code: While we were packing for our trip I struggled to find a good dress code anywhere for Six Senses Yao Noi. We didn’t make an issue of it, but it seemed strange that there were any discrepancies at all with a digital order. We ordered our in-villa lunch through the app, which seemed to work well except that the $15 glass of wine we ordered became a full bottle and was charged accordingly. It worked well during our stay to reach GEM Q to request a buggy or dining reservation or confirm activity times. The Six Senses Appĭownload the Six Senses App before you go. In hindsight I probably should have tipped the crews. I didn’t take money with me on the boat expeditions. You can do whatever you want – I’m guessing a lot of people don’t tip at all, and some probably tip far more. That wasn’t the case at Six Senses Yao Noi, so I gave our GEM $100 and left $20 for housekeeping. There’s no line for tips on restaurant or bar checks, which is nice.Īt other Six Senses resorts tipping has been a part of check-out – especially for your GEM. The resort includes a 10% service charge with meals, drinks, spa visits and everything else, and I understand that’s shared by all staff. Thailand doesn’t have a tipping culture, which makes things a little easier. Loved the luggage tags we received as we were leaving! Six Senses Yao Noi Tipping As always we parked at The Parking Spot at LAX. ![]() I chose EVA because their one-way business class tickets were priced really well, and the schedule was good – we would have two hours or so to connect in both Bangkok and Taipei. We would be literally traveling around the world, west to east, for a one week break! I chose Qatar Airways because I have a lot of frequent flier points with them (Avios), and was hoping to be able to use points to upgrade our economy seats to their amazing QSuites. In the end I booked two one-way tickets – LA-Doha-Phuket on Qatar Airways, and then Phuket-Bangkok-Taipei-LA on EVA Air. It’s fastest to head west to Thailand from LA, but none of the flight schedules was perfect – either they had long layovers, or went through Hong Kong (still bouncing back from Covid, which could complicate things if we got stuck there), or they were expensive. My goals were fewer connections, shorter overall travel times, more comfortable seats, and reasonable fares…which didn’t come together perfectly. Given the sheer distance between Southern California and Koh Yao Noi I wanted to make the travel as easy as possible. We booked their last available villa for the week. I showed her some places that have been on my travel wish list, and she found other destinations that looked fun and warm (she started the year in Antarctica and was done with the cold), and in the end chose Six Senses Yao Noi. She would turn 13 over her February break, so I left it up to her where she wanted to travel that week to celebrate. This year my 12-year-old daughter has school breaks in February and April. We visited Laamu twice and loved it, and visited Six Senses Resorts in Vietnam and the Seychelles too, but never seemed to make it to Yao Noi. They recommended Six Senses Laamu in the Maldives and Six Senses Yao Noi in Thailand. We loved the resort, so I talked to the staff about which other Six Senses resorts were amazing and great for families. ![]() I was traveling around the world with my 10-year-old daughter and we included a stop at Six Senses Zighy Bay because you could arrive at the hotel by paragliding in from a nearby mountain. ![]()
