Cottages in Thong Nai Pan Yai

Jennifer United States

We booked this villa at the last minute after our original booking on a different beach on Koh Phangan proved unsuitable (it lacked air-conditioning and we were there during an intense heat wave). This place is a dream. The villa is gorgeous, spacious, spotlessly clean, well furnished and built using really high quality materials. Everything is top class. The bed was amazingly comfy, the kitchen very nicely equipped, and the private infinity plunge pool was just amazing. The villa is literally yards away from a beautiful beach and supplies can be bought at the small village nearby that was within walking distance. The villa was cleaned almost daily, new towels provided several times during our 5 day stay, the pool was beautifully maintained, as were the grounds. The manager lives nearby and was always available if we had questions or concerns. She even arranged to have our laundry done. By Thai standards, it is relatively expensive, but we absolutely loved our stay here and felt it was definitely worth the expense.

These villas are absolutely incredible. They are very private and ours had a lovely view of the hills and sea. The pool is perfectly sized for a family of 4 and although not heated was a very warm. We stayed in a two bed villa which was brilliantly laid out and gave us our own kids/adult spaces. The air con was amazing too as it was very hot on certain days. One of the best things about this place is the staff. Julianee is such a wonderful host and couldn't do enough for us. She happily ferried us to and from the village every day and organised day trips for us and taxis when we wanted to go further afield. Also - the breakfasts are incredible, especially the coffee which is better than any coffee I have ever had in my life. The small village is a ten minute walk away and is like a movie set. Not only does it all look beautiful but the restaurants are all really nice and cheap. We also ate on the beach at Buri Rasa a few times which was nice but our favourite place was Rasta Baby - a really cool bar with a tree house style restaurant serving delicious food. All in all I think Baan View is the best possible place you could stay in this area and definitely the best value for money. We have stayed at the Anantara here before which (although a better location in the middle of all the action) is nowhere near as nice as Baan View, gives you way less space and is about 4 times the price. ps - don't go to the Elephant ''sanctuary''near to the villa - they were chained up and looked utterly miserable and idiotic tourists were riding on their backs which they clearly didn't enjoy as they were clinging onto the railings desperately trying to not have to walk until the person in charge banged them on the head with a sharp spear. Awful place.

Everything was perfect, the location, the accommodation and the host! Not situated in the most touristic part of the isle, but the atmosphere couldn't have been any better... The chalet was just as nice as in the pictures, the private pool perfect to relax all day long and the beach just a 2min walk away. Special mention for Tom, who was the best host possible!

We would recommend this villa, its in a lovely secluded location with stunning views - a small village nearby with lots of options to eat out. the whole island is very accessible on a scooter. The villa and Stav are very accommodating.

It was private, quiet, very comfortable and clean. The kitchenette was very handy with all the necessary. The mattress very pleasant. 5min walk from the sea. Very close to a delicious Italian restaurant, super market, bike rentals, fruit market
