If you love romance, intrigue, drama and the quest for finding true love, then the popular TV show “The Bachelor” is for you! Having completed its 17th season, this hit US show has garnered fans not just from America, but around the world as well. The latest season featured bachelor Sean Lowe (28 years) who was once a Kansas State football player and 26 eligible bachelorettes trying to woo him, avoid elimination and “winning” a proposal at the end! The finale of the 17th season took place in Thailand and fans or those who just loved the locations that were visited can plan a trip to some of these destinations when on holiday.
The Andaman Sea in Krabi was where Catherine and Sean were seen on a junk boat as they cruised passed awe-inspiring scenery. They end up on Ao Nang beach looking out across Phra Nang Bay. Set amidst the backdrop of the Phu Khao limestone mountain, this site is full of laidback charm.
Trang was one of the main areas where filming took place. With its idyllic islands, pristine beaches, azure waters, limestone cliffs and breathtaking natural landscapes, it offers a perfect escape for those looking to get away from it all. The period between May and December is generally considered the best time to visit here.
Monkey Beach is one attraction that was used on Bachelor Season 17 and this secluded slice of paradise with its soft white sand and clear ocean waters is a great place to spend time with that special someone or even propose!
Another site of spectacular natural beauty that was used was Emerald Cave where AshLee was asked by bachelor Sean to swim through the eerie cave to reach the beach. Situated near Koh Mook, this small but famous cave got its name due to the emerald colour created by the sea’s reflection and is a not to be missed site for those looking for some adventure.
One of the best ways to experience the filming locations used in Bachelor Season 17 is to stay at the Trang resort used on the show, Anantara Si Kao Thailand. One of the leading Krabi resorts, it also offers special packages that give you a chance to relive the thrills and spills of the season’s penultimate episode!
