Khaolak Merlin Resort- Impress. Beach resort that respect wildlife. 31 Jan to 3rd Feb 2025.

PS. Apologies. It should be Indochinese Roller. Not Indian Roller as labeled in my video.
Sorry for the late upload. My computer has been giving me issues.

I chanced upon this resort while looking for a beach resort for a short holiday. Not expecting much, we were in for a surprised. Love this place so much that we may plan for a re-visit next year. (If the rates do not increase.)
Since I have my resources, why not save it and share it here just in case someone needs it.
