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”
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”
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.

“Perfect sunset stay in tent”
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!”
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!

“Good”
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.
