Somphoch Garden

The location right on the water is dream‑beautiful, and the option to use the SUPs and kayaks lets you explore the east coast; the property feels like a family, and someone is always there if you have questions.

“Lovely stay but found better locations for cheaper”

Try arranging a pick‑up from the ferry or the songthaew cartel, which could charge 500 baht (starting at 1000!); the family is absolutely lovely, the food is great, happy hours are nearby, they have kayaks and paddle boards, and will organize scooters; beware the mountain pass if heading to the famous white beaches—our three great days were spent heading south on the east side, to Lonely Beach and the end of the journey where you can kayak to the abandoned island. Initially I was disappointed with the non‑classic beach and didn’t feel it was worth the money; Thailand is just so much more expensive now in high season; the beds are rock solid with polyester bedding, but nowhere is comfortable to relax; hammocks are needed.

“Relaxing place right by the sea”

The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the meals at the restaurant were some of the best we’ve had in Thailand—overall a very relaxing place. The outdoor seating was very limited; we would have liked more to relax in the garden with its lovely sea view, but there were no comfortable chairs or loungers; the nearest roadside café was a 10‑minute walk away, and there was not even a shop nearby. Since we didn’t have a bike, our only option was to stay on the property during the day, which is why better seating would have let us enjoy the beautiful garden and view.

“Très belle endroit”

Très belle surprise Le cadre est sublime et apaisant Loin de la foule sans être trop loin du ferry L’accueil est, sans surprise, au top Les logements ne sont pas les un sur les autres On y est resté que 2 nuits mais on aurai pu y rester bien plus longtemps

“Great stay with an excellent view”

We spent two weeks at Somphoch Garden and the owners moved us up to the upstairs room after a few days, which was a nice touch. The hosts were helpful with laundry, arranging a scooter rental, and even booking a taxi back to Bangkok. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the upstairs room even had a balcony. There’s a restaurant on site, and if you don’t have your own vehicle you’ll need to be careful about taxis heading toward the island’s west side—they often try to overcharge because most people go that way. Once you have a car or scooter, the location is great, with a few small shops and restaurants nearby, and the main town on the west side is less than a 20‑minute drive, so we often ate out or shopped for groceries there. We loved the stand‑up paddle boards, the treehouse platform, and the swing—some of my favorite features. All in all, a really great stay.
