The house is private but serviced by resort staff that can help with your holiday needs. The resort offers their pool for use. Expect to hear other travelers, motorbikes and jungle noise during your stay. This unique house is designed with traditional rustic Thai materials and blended with modern conveniences needed to make your stay comfortable. We want you to feel like you are staying on a tropical island in Thailand and not a typical, concrete modern bungalow found everywhere else in the world.
The open floor plan extends onto the large balconies to offer you a natural outdoor feeling while in the comforts of home. Enjoy a tropical breeze swinging in the hammocks, or reading on the outdoor lounge. Listen to the jungle music & soothe your mind, gazing into the palm lined mountains. Small boats sail the blue bay below. A short minute stroll down the driveway leads you to a white sand beach perfect for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, jogging or sun tanning. A variety of activities are offered including trekking, mini-golf, island tours, and boat, diving, fishing and Marine Park trips. The two sleeping rooms have air-conditioning.
Getting Around: If you want more adventure than the typical relaxing beach activities, you can take to the mountains, or explore the island by boat or private taxi. The house is located at the entrance to a bungalow resort so you get to take advantage of all the reception and concierge conveniences. With convenience comes the noise of travelers like yourself. Reminder: You are not isolated or in a sanctuary, there is a road where you can walk around and will have normal traffic comings and goings.
What else to do in the area: The local village is a tiny tourist town with amenities including ATM’s, mini-marts, resorts, shops, kiosks, food court, nursing clinics, travel agents, motorbike rental, temple, restaurants, mini-golf, nightlife and guests from all over the world. The Island is covered in tropical jungle with small roads to navigate across. Island tours include elephant trekking, temple viewing, beach exploring, snorkeling, boat trips etc. Koh PhaNgan is famed for its “Full Moon & Half Moon” parties which are hosted on the other side of the island.
Where is ko Phangan Island?: Ko PhaNgan is one of three tropical islands located in the gulf of Thailand. It is assessable by boats that leave Ko Samui Island several times a day or from the mainland embarking from Suratthani city and DonSak pier. Both Ko Samui and Suratthani have airports and connecting flights to/from Bangkok and Phuket.
Thong Nai Pan Beaches have two crescent bays lined with simple beach bungalows and 5 Star resorts. The bigger of the two bays is called Thong Nai Pan-Yai (“Yai” means big) and the house is tucked in the hill at the end of Yai beach. This area is considered a remote part of the island which requires limited transport over the mountains. There is a concrete road from the pier to the house, which has made transport faster and more comfortable. Along with the convenience, comes more travelers using the road. Expect increased street traffic near the house.
