2024 was about finding your tribe. 2025 was about knowing where to go. And with Tribes 3.0, 2026 is about truly living the experience.
Created in collaboration with TikTok Thailand, which selected the representative TikTok creators for each tribe, Avani Hotels & Resorts brought the six Avani Tribes — Foodies, Romantics, Creatives, Adventurers, Water Babies and Wellness Wanderers to life. Influencers travelled across the country to experience each destination through their own travel types, showing how travel can be shaped around what you love most.
Travel along your interests with Avani Tribes 3.0, whether that means chasing waterfalls and kayaking through mangrove forests in Krabi as an Adventurer, or diving into pool days and ocean waves as a Water Baby. Whatever you love, Avani has a way to experience it.
If your travel personality is the Adventurer, Koh Lanta is a destination shaped by nature and a slower pace of discovery. Jungle paths, hidden waterfalls, and winding mangrove waterways remain quietly untouched, offering a sense of space and stillness alongside moments of movement.
At Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort, days unfold at a relaxed rhythm, with private pool villas overlooking the ocean and lush green spaces that invite moments of pause between outings. Mornings might begin with gentle walks along the Khlong Chak Waterfall trails, or an early boat ride through the Tung Yee Peng mangrove forest, a warm cup of coffee accompanying the sunrise over calm waters as curious monkeys move through the trees.
It’s this kind of nature-led travel that draws travellers like Thai adventurer Dart (yesiamdart) who reflects, “After slow nature walks beside cool waters, I no longer feel tired” and describes it simply as a “perfect social detox,” making Koh Lanta an ideal spot for those seeking new landscapes, quiet discovery, and a deeper connection with the wild.

If you love fresh flavours and wandering with a fork in hand, Hua Hin leads you to local tastes and cafés that feel like hidden gems. Following Meow (goodvibes.story), the town reveals a coastal dining scene that’s creative, authentic and full of local character.
Her trip to Avani+ Hua Hin Resort began with a pool-access room and afternoons spent indulging in the hotel’s renowned afternoon tea, where an array of desserts makes leaving the resort almost unnecessary. With five restaurants on-site, breakfast buffets brimming with options, and the ability to order food and refreshing drinks throughout the day, the experience is as effortless as it is delicious.
For a first taste of fine dining in Hua Hin, Breeza Bar & Restaurant at Avani is a must. Chef Gibb Atthaworn Jaroonpongthip, who trained at Michelin-starred kitchens in France, brings his talent home to Thailand, creating casual fine dining with distinctive flavours. Every dish follows a minimal-waste philosophy, highlighting local ingredients to craft luxurious yet approachable dishes. The banana prawns, for example, come straight from the ocean and not farms, so there’s no better place to enjoy fresh seafood than by the beach. Other highlights include black grouper and the Phetchaburi bowl; a menu Meow describes as guaranteed to impress.
