"Pros: Simple bungalow, clean and big bathroom but you need to bring your soap. Friendly service. A few meters from the beach. Cons: Noise from the crossroad (dirt trail) mainly from motorbikes. Noise from a European couple arguing about their relationship." ~Antoine

"Pros: Incredible peace. Really good fan and mosquito net. Clean, private space. Hammock. Access to kitchen and washing machine. Nice towels that dry fast (new ones on request). Everything you need just at a base level. Really great, friendly host ready to assist at any time; I needed a light cover for at night because they don’t come standard in the room (it’s very hot and would be a huge bunch of wasted laundry if they did) and was supplied one instantly :) Also Ginger Home restaurant with lots of veggie dishes and a cheap cocktail option just a few meters away! Cons: Not as close to the beach as I’d like but that’s just because I like to hear the ocean when I sleep and the jungle completely muffles it. The cold water only shower was a surprise but the water isn’t that cold and the weather is HOT so it doesn’t matter. The location (Klong Koi Beach) is a tricky one. The closest shops and ATM is a 50 baht ride away and in order to get the same rate back you will wind up having a long wait at the taxi stop in Bang Bai. I didn’t mind this because I figured out how to plan for it, but fair warning - if like me you don’t feel safe relearning how to drive a scooter on these roads ;) Also the food prices are high because almost all the restaurants are on the beach and there is no street food. Also weed is a struggle and expensive. Plan for all these things and you’ll be fine. It’s quiet and pretty." ~Lari
