It would… read more be hard to find a better place for relaxing, swimming and enjoying sunsets. The staff – limited as tourists have not yet come back due to the pandemic – is super nice and helpful. Koko, the manager is doing a fabulous job at making her customers feel comfortable and well taken care of. The food is excellent and relatively inexpensive.
Our bungalow (Junior Suite) was quite spacious and met our needs although it felt a little bit worn out, with an open air bathroom that easily fills with leaves and a few (non aggressive) bugs. Hot water comes at an additional cost. Power is limited and does not allow for a fridge, hair drier, etc. Wi-Fi is only available in public areas.
Overall, most of our time was spent outside, exploring this amazing island and enjoying the resort / the beach / the relaxing atmosphere. It will definitely be a choice when we come back to Ko Phayam later in the year. More

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
