We believe that once you see for yourself what it is the island has to offer, you will come to share our philosophy of minimizing economical footprints.

Oct-Nov
A favorite among many visitors to the Island of Koh Phayam due to signifying the end of the Rain Season, where nature begins to bloom, and the air and atmosphere are unique. Some rainy days, but very pleasant.

Dec-Feb
Best time to visit Koh Phayam due to a variety of reasons, from lower humidity, better waves, and warm weather that is perfectly balanced for beach relaxation.

March-May
A popular time to visit as it brings with it slightly less tourists. Humidity increases somewhat, but considerably more affordable, and great for beach relaxation.

Jun-July
Not a great time for beach oriented vacations, but a tremendous opportunity to enjoy nature with minimal crowds, for a quiet family stay.

Aug-Sep
The time where nature takes over Koh Phayam the most during the year. Considered to be the least desirable time for visitation, but popular among niche audiences such as writers and explorers.

Hence, bungalows with seaview had no seaview. Some bungalows are being renovated. It appeared a number/most of the beachfront resorts along the beach were closed altogether for the low season. The resort is well shaded with trees and foliage everywhere. Fortunately, I had booked a villa with garden view. It was clean and spacious. The oscillating ceiling fan kept the room cool enough. I did note though that Booking.com states a mosquito net and sockets next to bed are provided in villa rooms but not in my villa room. The salt air had caused a problem with my front door's locking mechanism but the owner soon got that sorted out. The outdoor bathroom was large. It only had cold water but there was a sign saying hot water was available for 200 baht per day. I enjoy my warm showers but being solo I could not justify the cost for one shower each day.

Be aware the southern half of the beach has sandflies. I would not recommend staying along that part of the beach.unless you have a good supply of coconut oil. I got hammered on my beach walk but I carry a cream to apply to affected spots.
The standard moto taxi fare between the pier and the resort was 80 baht.
Overall, I had an enjoyable experience. More

04/12/2020jennasadventuresI’ve been looking for some alone time yet still close enough to the action and the beach and this place was perfect! I stayed in one of the wooden bungalows… read more with a view of the ocean. I felt like I had privacy yet if I wanted to be social I strolled to the bar area which is beach front and right in front of the waves! It was perfect. The food was great (my fav was the chicken sandwhich), staff (special thanks to Koko, gem and noi) were super friendly and there was a good selection of boards (very well maintained, brand new leashes and ranging from fun board size to SUP). The grounds were stunning and sunsets incredible! It was a well needed solo trip which I got but I also left with plenty of new friends! couldn’t be happier that I chose to spend my time at bamboo bungalows. Thanks guys! More

Our In House Restaurant

Koh Phayam Island has seen tremendous growth in recent years, but when it comes to Koh Phayam Restaurants you will find a difficult time finding ones that rivals our in house restaurant, which is a key factor in the success and longevity of Bamboo Bungalows. We have, and continue to perfect and fuse together Asian Cuisine, as well as household European dishes.
Many of the dishes we serve are caught fresh, from Barracudas to Tiger Prawns. One thing you will never find in our establishment is MSG, as we care both for the quality of our food, as well as the health of our customers.
