Bangyai Buri Resort

From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel very welcome. I needed a Thai sim card to make calls, and Pu, the owner was more then happy to drive me to the 7-eleven to organise me a sim card. This was a great example of the kindness I was to receive many times over the course of my stay. The rooms were clean, and well equipped with a fridge and air conditioning. The pool was warm, and fairly small, but perfect for cooling down. The restaurant served delicious food and I must have tried most of it. Overall, if you don't mind being a cheap cab rise out of town, which I thought was a positive due to the reduction in noise and increase in greenery, I don't think there is a nice place to stay than Bangyai Buri Resort. Thankyou Pu, Ann and Ning!

This hotel is approximately 20-25 minutes away from the airport, costing us about 500 baht to get there. However, it was very close (about 10 minutes) to the bus station for getting the ferry to the islands- which was why we chose it! Staff were very helpful in booking us taxis etc that would get us where we needed to be, however their English was minimal which added an extra challenge. The rooms were clean and had everything we required - including a partially outside bathroom with an outside shower! Pool was clean and in a quiet area. We did eat here, and while the food was very nice- upset tummies the next morning (which may or may not have been related to that meal). All in all, a nice secluded one night night stay for a layover.

Stayed here overnight on the way to Koh Samui and the place was great! Family run and very hospitable with front desk open till 1am. Sit under the stars and watch fireflies(!?!) at the quite pool away from bungalows which was open all night. Amazing outdoor bathroom and cozy room. Typical firm Thai beds. Mix between 'residents' and guests on property. Overall Amazing for the price!
