by Adam Ogle Visit Date:August 5, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Lovely place. lovely facilities, perfect to just relax. Activities could be bit cheaper or more realistic, for instance 700b to hire a kayak for the day or 2000b for jet ski for the day, should do it for 2hours at a time, people dont want to hire things like this for a full day. Seng the waiter is a class lad, really helpful and polite and pimpong (owner) is extremely helpful. Nice food too, even if it does take a long time to arrive at times." |

March 7, 2010 by Phil Visit Date:March 5, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "nice romantic bungalows, beautiful view on the little cute private beach. private only because of situated at the other end of koh tao. that's also why they can make high prices for food and beverage. you have to go there by taxi, the road is not concrete and very dangerous to drive, so you cannot rent a motorbike to go there on your own. for relaxing at the resort its good, for getting around on koh tao its bad." |
by Elena Gordishevskaya Visit Date:February 6, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "Though located perfectly on Laem Thien pinnacle with splendid sunrise views and opportunities for rock climbing and snorkeling, this place is a real disappointment merely due to the management. They constantly have problems with water supplies and electricity (even in those few hours when it is supposed to be available). During our stay every second day was without water and the staff did not care for that at all saying it is fault of the clients who forgot to close the tap. The food is very expensive and the kitchen is a real mess. But if you try to supply food for yourself at the Sairee village, the manager Ping Pong would be pissed off. Actually, her priority is the well-being of her staff than the clients interests. They do not care for the environment, either. The clients clean the beach, not the staff. The rocks around the main building are littered. the only chance to save this unique place is to have the real professional manager, not just some PingPong. The concept of this isolated place with the bungalows right in the middle of the jungle is very exciting and it can be put into reality with just a little effort and responsibility. good luck." |
by Lis H. Smedegaard Visit Date:January 30, 2010 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "A very beautiful place with an amazing look over the sea, if you choose bungalow seaview. This place is run by a very nice family and a friendly staff. Very good snorkeling place, but sometime big waves. We can recommend this place very much, you get a lot for your money." |

by Raoul Visit Date:September 23, 2009 Room: Service: Facilities: Location: "We book this place from the nice pictures on the website. After arriving from the boat the taxi drivers not amused to bring us to Laem Thian Resort. So, waiting 1.5 hour for the free pick-up service. The trip from the main pier to the resort is horrible. The road the the resort is in so so so bad condition. You can not imagine. The bad road make you can not move at all the time you stay here. Or you have to pay 100 thb one way/person to make the horror 30 minute 1.5 km trip to the main land. The wooden bungalows are very very basic. No electricity from 6.30-18.00. No chair, no blanket, no hot shower even no soap. Only a lot of mosquito s even if using the net. The food and excursions in this resort are expensive. But you have no choice, you can not move. The only positive thing is the beautiful and quite area and nature around the resort and the very beautiful bay. The price look like cheap. But the food excursions and the expensive taxi-service to the main land make you spend a lot of money here. This place not worth!!" |
Everything worked out very well! Thank you!, May 25, 2009 by Martha Vitantzakis Visit Date:March 5, 2009 "Wonderful hotel and place. We loved and enjoyed our staying there. At any rate recommendable!" |
The booking was fine on here., February 12, 2009 by Nikita Short Visit Date:February 8, 2009 "6 of us girls stayed here for 4 nights, we really enjoyed ourselves! the staff were really nice and friendly, very chilled out in day on private beach and then funky at night at the bar right by the beach. Got free pick up from ferry port, just b wary of the bumpy travel to the hotel!! Still a traveller s Haven for sure - cheap and cheerful!!" |
February 28, 2009 by Shawn Price Visit Date:January 14, 2009 "this place is a great hidden oasis. owner is very helpful. downfalls were garbage everywhere and food was overpriced and because of remote location no other options." |
Very good., January 9, 2009 by Mats Björling Visit Date:January 4, 2009 "The hotelstandard was low, but you get what you pay for, so it was very cheap. Nice snorkling. Good cooking, nice staff. Very bad road to the hotel - don´t rent a bike - it could kill you! The first transport to the hotel was a bit scary - sitting back on the van trying not to be throwed of the car made your heart beat faster. But you get used to it, so the next time it felt better." |

AMAZING, fast and very effective will use you again, January 14, 2009 by MC Smit Visit Date:December 29, 2008 "Laem Thain is very basic and set is in the most beautiful bay you can ever imagine. If it is remote and island style simplicity you need then this is for you. Ping Pong the owner and her staff are all very friendly and really go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. We are divers and found it easy to book at Black tip resort in the next bay as they just picked us up from the shore with a long tail boat. Snorkelling and food is great. I would go back one day" |
February 10, 2009 by Graham John Jacob Visit Date:December 28, 2008 "Just awful - conditions only just above squalid, remote to the point of inaccessibility - fine if you want to be trapped in a commune and ripped off but otherwise don t go anywhere near - definitely the worst place we ve ever stayed in. Very very poor value." |
