Bamboo Bungalows KOH PHAYAM

  The resort is sited in Long Beach a very huge beach but unfortunately with send flies. The place is not very clean and probably this was the reason. The bungalows… read more are pretty nice but for me too expensive. The last days we went to Buffalo Bay and there not send flies.. So much better

  Bamboo Bungalow is my favorite resort in Koh Phayam, great spot on Ao Yai, great staff, beautiful comfortable rooms under the canopy of some trees which give natural cooling,… read more great food, many surfboards to use,,, small Paradise, I highly recomend it ! You won’t want to leave ;)))

  While waiting for the boat back to Ranong after checking out, I was already looking for the next long weekend to come back. This place immediately felt like home (but… read more much more peaceful and lovely). P’Ko and the staff were awesome.

  Stayed for three weeks at Bamboo. The houses are surrounded by tall trees that gives you lovely morning with fresh air and birds singing here and there. And when it’s… read more the sunset time, tho, Bamboo located at beach front with majestic view of the ocean. It’s pure stunning.

The staffs are very kind and helpful. I only have good things to stay about Bamboo Bungalow and their team. Definitely stay here again once I back to lovely Phayam.

  Bamboo bungalow is what makes my stay in koh phayam complete. The people who work here feel like family they are really the sweetest, so open minded and fun to… read more be around with. The food is fantastic, and the bungalows are super cozy and wonderful in the beautiful garden. I will come back to bamboo bungalow everytime. Thank you kind friends 🙂

  Came solo to surf and met the stand in manager who was nice enough. I opted for the best room with AC.

Let me clear shack/bungalows are what… read more they are but there are those that are well kept and those not. I would grade the room itself 6/10 for shack standards. The safety box was so rusted the whole thing broke and needed to be drilled. Bathroom and rooms were not dirty but not clean.

The worst part of the trip were the staff. The owner Avi is nice enough but he doesnt have the ability to run a tight ship. His staff are indifferent at best and rude at worst. When I told them the safety box was broken, they all spoke in Thai behind my back (not knowing I am Thai) saying they didn’t want to address the issue. Shocking and appalling.

The top of the line room which I paid extra for AC, yet the AC was also broken. I had to follow up with them 3 times and only got it fixed at 9PM when the problem was first reported at 11AM. The staff also had a litany of excuses: “I don’t work here” “we needed you here to fix it” etc.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t the only unhappy guest. I met two other Europeans who left after the first day and went to Flower Power – also an amazing establishment to eat and stay.

The waves and location are immaculate but Bamboo needs a 100% overhaul. Let the professionals do the job and leave the amateurs out of the picture. Let this be a wake up call – in no way do I want to harm a business but if they want to be sustainable it is time to face reality.

Nearby I rented a surfboard from a Swiss man who looks to be running a clean operation, the name I can’t recall but it’s part of phayam surfers.
