“Beautiful resort, great sunsets, lovely gardens, lovely staff, excellent food.”
We had a lovely stay. The staff were lovely, the food was excellent and the sundowners on the beach were great. We stayed in one of the cheaper rooms for a few nights and then moved to a chalet. Both were really lovely so if you’re on a tighter budget the cheaper room is also great. I loved the free yoga next to the pool on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The instructor was excellent! Make sure you put your name down for it. If they have less than 2 people signed up by 2pm the day before, they cancel the class. We hired a scooter and had loads of fun exploring the island. An important point that nobody told us before… you can easily rent scooters wherever you go in Thailand for about 250BHT a day and nobody asks to see your license. BUT legally in Thailand you must have a motorcycle license and an international license to ride a scooter. This means that if you have an accident, and you don’t have these licenses… you are riding illegally and your travel insurance won’t cover you. Apparently there are loads of go fund me pages for people who didn’t know this and had accidents. We really enjoyed the Pantip market in Thon Sala after a day in Thong Nai Pan. Loved the Vietnamese shrimp wraps for only 30 BHT. We also enjoyed walking to the end of the beach and up some stairs to Cookies restaurant where they had good food, reggae and a nice atmosphere. (We didn’t love the music at green papaya, but that’s just a question of taste. The way people book sun loungers with their towels next to the pool and then leave. This happens everywhere and I think hotels should have signs around pools saying that you can’t book a sun lounger if you leave the pool area. It’s only yours while you’re using it. We watched someone pull 6 loungers next to each other, put towels on each on and then go to breakfast for an hour. Weird
