Great spot for a holiday
Liked : The bungalows are on the beach. Ours wasn’t on next to the sea but still really nice. Our bungalow was simple but comfortable with AC. We also had a small terrace. They also have a restaurant which was good price and the food was tasty! Over all really good spot to have a holiday.

Liked : Lovely vibe directly on the beach, really nice and friendly owner and staff. Comfortable cabins. Feels more like home than in a resort. Good food.

Everything is incredibly fantastic
Liked : Everything was incredible, I stayed in the tent, which I absolutely recommend, I fell asleep with the sound of the waves and woke up with the sounds of nature, the friends family is very kind, I absolutely can’t wait to go back 😍

Great stay right at the beautiful beach
Liked : Great location at the beach, we loved to hear the ocean at night and birds in the morning.
The bed was comfy and we had boxes in the tent to store our stuff. We had plugs and lights in the tent and even a fan (which we didn't need as the temperature was perfect for sleeping).
Food at the restaurant was good, especially the Burmese salad.
Staff was very friendly and really helpful.Disliked : Bathroom basic and cold shower,but that's what we expected and it was warm anyways.

If you enjoy friendliness and a sea view, this is the right place.
Liked : We had a fantastic stay with plenty of space for our two small children. The staff were incredibly kind and made our stay special.

Perfect sunset stay in tent
Liked : Thai/German owned. Stayed here more than 1 week in one of the big tents and loved everything. Great owner, great stay, great staff, great beach! Nicki is a wonderful, warmhearted, patient and well organised host. His staff is also sweet, attentive and make great food. Location right at beach is amazing for this price and still so quiet at night. I'm also glad about the no smoking policy - there is a lot of smoking elsewhere (incl. cannabis). Good WiFi in restaurant area. Unfortunately right now no WIFI in the tents 3 and 4. Bring enough cash to the Island, as the 2 ATM (at Pier only) are very unreliable. Or use WISE for paying at Friends at the end. Next supermarket nearby (10-15min walking), also many other restaurants close by. Best option to get around is by scooter. Enjoy Koh Phayam and be respectful to locals by wearing clothes when away from beach.

We already miss them!
Liked : Nicky and Sonja are wonderful hosts, always helpful and dedicated to making people feel at home. They care about the environment, provide free filtered water for guests, use solar panels to generate electricity and buy fish only from local fishermen. We slept in a tent which is way more comfortable than many bungalows you could find on the island and not less important, the food is DELICIOUS!

GerdGermany · Jan 19, 2025 8Very good
Good
Liked : The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, the food is delicious. The location on Long Beach is very good and quiet. The bungalows are in good condition, the water in the shower is only cold, but that's not a problem given the temperature on Ko Phayam. Overall, I liked it a lot and I can recommend the accommodation.
Disliked : It is not acceptable that my passport is uploaded to Facebook to be sent to others. This is rightly not allowed and prohibited in Europe, and as far as I have read the Thai data protection laws, this is also not permitted. Many people do not seem to understand what happens to the data there.
