This hostel is by far the best one I ever stayed in. Almost everyone staying here had to extend their stay at least once, because it is just so comfortable in here. If you like hippie vibes and not so crowded beaches, Koh Phayam is really it for u. This hostel is truly a hidden gem :)) lots of love

What a beautiful, mostly unspoilt island, lovely beaches, jungle and no cars! Laid back atmosphere. The food was amazing, much, much better than in Koh Tao where we are now. Lovely local people. A real gem - let’s hope it doesn’t go the way of Koh Samui and Koh Tao.

The Island is incredible - beautiful, lush and lovely to explore by scootie, cycle or walking. Our fav restaurant was The Kitchen Table run by Chioko. Best brusketta and place to hang with sweet kitties and dogs. Also Flower Power has excellent Italian food. We loved our stay in Bamboo Bungalos. Can’t wait to go back! Pure heaven.

Empty wide sand beach, tranquility. It is great for people who really want to relax, great for families.
Rent a scooter to get around, if you want to explore a little more.
Kajaks are fun to have some activity.

The weather, the scenery.
The weather, the scenery. The beaches were all stunning and the sunsets at JJ Beach resort were amazing!! Plenty of good restaurants on the island. Can personally recommend Flower Power and Cha Chai Hime for vegetarian food.
All round good vibes on the island.

Phayam is a paradise of older Thailand. (No MacDonalds!!!!)
Phayam is a paradise of older Thailand. (No MacDonalds!!!!) The Thai and Burmese that live and work on the island are always friendly, helpful and HONEST. Getting around the island is easy and cheap, whether by foot, motorbike, bicycle or motorbike taxi. The food is delicious, with a variety of cuisines for those who want a change from Thai or Burmese food, many of the foodstuffs are sourced locally, including seafood caught from the sea surrounding Phayam, food and accomodation are very affordable, I have been coming to Phayam for ~ 8 years now and won’t stop.
This is one of an amazing place to stay…the bungalows renovated with such a thoughtful and loving style and hand..we loved everything…gorgeous beach, amazing food….people you need to eat there…you don’t know what you are missing out!!!!!
And then the owner Toi, the loving and ever smiling Liam and all the other staff…..( we missed meeting Sam the other owner) the most humble loving grateful honest caring people you will meet♥️♥️ we will return for sure…the best start in our vacation time ever🫶🏽
The bungalow is a bit rustic as other reviews have already mentioned. However, that was not really a problem for us as this is the case for most bungalows on the island and the general vibe is very low-key. I appreciated that there was warm water and electricity without any cuts. I read it's often the case in other places. Probably the biggest adventage was excellent location, nearby best rated restaurants, bars and cafes with amazing food.
We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful little resort in a quiet spot on Ao Khao Kwai beach. Tastefully decorated bungalows and restaurant, really good food and coffee and a relaxed beachfront area. Toi and Liam were extremely friendly and helpful, all day long ready to help you with whatever needs you might have. Thank you so much to both of you and the rest of the team!
Everything about our stay was great. We stayed 4 nights, the owners and staff were lovely and friendly. Our bungalow and the hotel had places to laze and hang outside. Breakfast hit the spot. The beach was quiet and water great and the restaurants and bars along the beach were great as well. Just a great place to be based out of on the island and to go slow. Would come back!
The whole vibe at Lazy Hut is just unique. We loved our time there so much and were really sad to leave.
Yod (the owner) and the whole staff are beyond friendly and very helpful with everything. Stayed in a Bungalow with balcony and can recommend those ones. But also the Family Bungalows looked super nice. Thanks for having us!!
Beautiful location right on the beach. Simple but stunning bungalows where you fall asleep and wake up to the waves. Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. The beach is the cleanest on the island as they clear washed up plastic every day. They also helped us with laundry and booking our ferry tickets.
Great location very close to the beach, lovely restaurant, amazingly helpful staff, bungalows are super clean and the bedding and towels smelled really fresh and clean! Our host was fantastic, always a smile, and he even gave us guests a little present for Valentines day! We would love to be back!
Almost private pool and beach for the whole 2 weeks stay. Amazing staff and the hotel restaurant Sea Again was top 3 restaurants in whole island. Prices were also very low. We rented scooters for 2 weeks and those are excellent to get around the island. Thank you very much Nitiporn Resort Staff!
Could hear the sound of the surf from the bungalow and I love swimming in the sea. Dining on the beach was super and the restaurant food was very good. Bungalows were comfortable and clean. The resort didn’t overwhelm the nature. The cost was a real plus; JJ’s delivered great vacation value.
Friendly and helpful staff
Great location to one of the beaches
Easy to sort travel to the other main beach
Some shops and restaurants close by
Friendly cats on-site and lots of nature! Lots of butterflies, sometimes hornbills
Free transfer to the pier when leaving the property
I liked the huts that were located directly on the beach. They looked kind of cute, minimalistic but had everything we needed. Beach is amazing. Coffee in the morning at the hotel’s restaurant was amazing. I didn’t try the breakfast but it looked really good too.
I liked everything : the rooms and the hotel, in the middle of the nature, the beach was literally 5 minutes far from my room, the island is the most beautiful one I've visited in Thailand, and the owners welcomed me as if I were a member of their family !
Nice atmospheric Bungalows in a tropical garden. Beautiful beach is just a 5 minute walk away. Very nice and helpful staff, very good restaurant. The best red curry i had in Thailand.Within walking distance there are several other restaurants and shops.
The staff is very friendly and helpfull. The last bungalows (4-5-6) are close to the nature and far away from the motorbike noise.
The food is very good. Late afternoon you can enjoy the feeding of hornbills. It is recommended to have an own motorbike.
Owners were really friendly, Great location, amazing food and atmosphere.
The bar is very cool.
They provide drink water for the guests, what’s really helpful and ecological.
The bungalows are very silent and cozy.
Excellent couple of nights Sabai Sabai Bungalows Koh Phayam. Couldn’t fault the accommodation, food or service. Thanks to James and the team you made the start of our visit to this island very special
The island was stunning. It truly was paradise. The accommodation was nice and simple. The staff looking after us were very friendly and attentive with their job. We felt very welcomed and belonged.
