"It’s the fate of all successful holiday destinations, sooner or later. Now Phuket is certainly nobody’s idea of a hard time, exactly, but it’s not uncommon to be troubled by the nagging suspicion that what began as a place to escape to is slowly becoming a place to escape from. Fortunately it’s possible to do so without leaving the island entirely. Sri Panwa, for example, does an admirable job of setting itself apart from the crowds, first of all literally: it’s atop a hill at the end of a cape, on the somewhat isolated southeast corner of the island." - Tablet Hotels
