Hello, everyone I am Chifumi Maeda,
a Japanese female president living in Bangkok.
Thank you, guys, for visiting this
“True comments from Japanese female presidents living in Thailand” blog
140km southeast of Bangkok.
It’s 2 hours’ drive by car.
Pattaya where prospered as a beach resort from the old days.
The resort is famous as “Nightlife Town” for its many bars and clubs.
My hubby and I often visit the place as a beach resort is easily accessed by car.
And I would like to talk about Birds and Bees Resort.
Until we started visiting the InterContinental Pattaya,
the one that I wrote about in my past blog,
we often stayed at the Birds and Bees Resort.
Unveiling the Story of Birds & Bees Resort, Pattaya
Delving Into the History and Charm of Birds & Bees Resort
Birds and Bees Resort is located on the way to Phra Tamnak Hill,
a 5 km south drive on the Pattaya Beach Road.
The restaurant called Cabbages & Condoms,
attached to the hotel is more known than the hotel.
This restaurant is built along the sealine and has a wonderful atmosphere.
Some of my readers may have been to the restaurant
but have not stayed in the hotel.
The hotel was built by the former Vice Prime Minister Mechai Viravaidya.
Mr. Mechai Viravaidya is a very famous Prominent Social Entrepreneur in Thailand.
He realized that speeding increase in the Thai population
may be the reason for hampering rural development
and in order to promote proper family planning knowledge,
founded an NGO organization named Population and Community Development Association （PDA ）.
PDA runs poverty reduction and rural education programs,
large-scale rural development and environment programs,
and HIV/AIDS prevention activities.
Mr. Mechai Virayaidya has been energetically spending his time in the NGO field
but he also served as a senator and member of the Cabinet of the Thai Government,
where he was responsible for developing HIV/AIDS prevention policy.
In the latter half of the 1980s, the number of people infected with HIV increased in Thailand
and it became a social problem.
Mr. Mechai Viravaidya was active in advocating the importance of sex education,
so much so that the condom is also called “Mechai”.
Mr. Mechai Viravaidya was also active in rural education,
establishing schools where children can learn for free.
Cabbages & Condoms Restaurant and Birds and Bees Resort
operation is to ensure the PDA’s financial sustainability.
I think that it is very meaningful that we can contribute to society by staying nights in the hotel.
An In-Depth Stay Review at Birds & Bees Resort, Pattaya
The Birds and Bees Resort is at the most far-end of Phra Tam Nak Rd. Soi4
and in the front of the resort lies the Phra Tam Nak Beach.
The beach is rather compact compared to other beaches
and you can see them taking leisurely walks or relaxing on the beach.
The beach is very clean as well looked after every morning.
The Birds and Bees Resort is surrounded by the tropical rain forest
the stay facility is built in the well looked after beautiful garden.
There are 2 swimming pools.
Rabbits are bred in the resort where you can see their adorable appearance.
Taking a walk in the resort or just walking on Phra Tamnak Beach
in the morning and evening is very relaxing.
Exploring the Different Room Categories
The Birds and Bees resort has 50 guestrooms in total
which is a huge land size compared to the number of the guestrooms that they have.
Very relaxing.
The rooms are separated in 12 categories with small details.
All ages from child to grownups can enjoy, and the hotel stays a couple, groups, and family visitors.
And it is very nice that hotel is so flexible
and will be able to provide rooms depending on your purpose of stay
and the number of people that you are with.
We always stay in the Beachside Suite,
the room that faces the Phre Tam Nak Beach.

The Upsides of Choosing Birds & Bees Resort
The Downsides of Staying at Birds & Bees Resort
Diving Deeper into the Beachside Suite Experience
The Beachside Suite is a villa type room and are only 2 rooms of such in the resort.
Room numbers 901 and 902 are the Beachside Suite
and the biggest selling point is that you have the beach in front of the room.
If you have ever been to Pattaya to stay I am sure you know
it that the beach can be seen but it is from a distance or there is a busy road running
in the front of your room and is not really a beachfront if you agree.
There is a picnic table and sunbeds on the huge veranda terrace,
which is nicely shadowed by the trees, it is nice and cool even in the day time.
As the beach is just 10 seconds walk away,
when you have the temptation to swim, you are there already.
Wonderful, don’t you think?
I got out of the bed early every morning to have a quiet walk on the beach
and swam a bit and went back to the villa.
There is a shower outside of the villa as well so that you can take shower with the beach view.
And then get dressed and off to our breakfast.
We were very fortunate with the weather.
Beer that we had together with beautiful sunset in front of our eyes were out of this world.
Listening to the sound of the waves 24 hours a day
with gentle sea breeze running through the terrace,
it was indeed a luxury time.
After the sunset, you will not see anyone anymore on the beach,
you have the world all for yourselves.
Needless to say, we spend most of our times here every day.
The villa is made of wood and has a calm design and has separate bedroom and living room.
You have the ocean view from your bedroom.
The bathroom is also huge and has a big tub and a shower.
There comes out enough hot water.
However, the floor is a bit slanted and water do not stay under your feet
but it also do not run into the drainage hole. You can’t win them all.
If you are the person who can accept things
“as it is” but if you are not, you could be stressed out about it.
The hotel carries 3 stars so when you know that,
you will probably be satisfied with what you get during your stay for the price you pay.
So, as I mentioned earlier, it is quite rare that you can stay in the villa that is facing the beach.
Weighing the Pros and Cons of the Beachfront Suite
Why Choose the Beachfront Suite: The Pros
Potential Drawbacks of the Beachfront Suite: The Cons
We went back to the resort after two years this time.
It is nice to stay at well facility well equipped foreign capital hotels
but I realized that a rustic resort that mixed with the nature is also very nice to stay.
