Aforetime House @ Samui

Taling Ngam Beach

At the hostel, rooms include a balcony with a sea view. The rooms include air conditioning, and some rooms at Aforetime House @ Samui have a patio. At the accommodation each room is fitted with bed linen and towels. The best hostel we have ever stayed at. We originally had 3 nights booked but decided to extend for another 3 because of how good it was. The owner is the sweetest most welcoming man and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The shared dorms are amazing. You have a plug and a lamp right by your bed, comfortable mattress, a locker and a curtain for privacy. Everything is super clean thanks to the amazing staff. Located right at the beach with the most stunning sunsets. The location is a little remote which we personally didn’t mind as it was very peaceful. You can however rent a scooter right at the hostel for a fair price. The community here is great and organized many different activities such as day trips, bbqs, etc. Definitely a place we will come back to!!!

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe

Koh Samui

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Koh Samui. 500 metres from Rocky's Beach and 1.3 km from Natien Beach, the property provides a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation offers nightclub and free WiFi throughout the property. I can’t say enough good things about Chill Inn Lamai. They have bike rentals right on the property so getting around is a breeze for travellers, the facilities are clean comfortable and cold in the summer heat. Lamai Beach brings the most laid back of travellers and the bar and surrounding area on the property are both beautiful and comfortable. The staff are super happy and extremely helpful. Tours, hotel transfers and rides around Koh Samui are all available in the main office and the food available is wonderful along with 20% off of cocktails for guests. I have stayed here 2 times over my visit to Thailand and I had gone through a traumatic experience on Koh Samui off of the property. While I was in the hospital the manager Rob and staff helped me out as much as possible by helping me book rooms, watching my bag for me while I was in the hospital and always helping me with my bags. Chill in has been the best hostel I have stayed in for a laid back, comfortable backpacking experience. If you’re tired of the hustle and bustle of beautiful Thailand Chill Inn Lamai is the place for you to sit back, relax and paddleboard or kayak on the ocean with the equipment freely available. Thanks Rob and Team for ensuring my stay at Chill Inn Lamai was wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to staying with you in the future!
