maybefitz Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Not just Koh Samet, but Ao Wai beach, and the Sametville resort. Their mainland office is near Tesco Lotus. Just had a few days there, have been going every year for 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Koh Ngai, no cars/traffic, long beach, no disco's etc, several nice hotels along the beachfront and most have their own bars/ restaurants so you can go to different ones as you like. Day trips on boats if you want to get off the island, nice pools in the hotels, very quiet and you have several different options for accommodation from beach front rooms with their own small pools to ones set back in the trees, we go there for a few days when we can get away and it is totally relaxing.

I think the 'western toilet' item is a given... OP is asking about the best of the best. I hardly think he would be satisfied if he checks into the room and walks into the bathroom to see a hole in the floor. Thailand is not India. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would possibly like Khao Lak Paradise Resort, secluded at the southern end of the beach. Advance booking recommanded, even now during raining season. Nice drive too.

bangkapi Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I think it is hit and miss. And it also somewhat depends on your budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recom273 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Pimalai resort - Ko lanta I think you could ditch the beach and just hang out on your own villa in the hills with private pool - golf cart chauffeur, private van to speedboat from the airport - private butler, prolly chef if you asked nicely.

zd1 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I like Klong Kloi beach at the south of Koh Chang, I also like Koh Mak and Koh Kood. Another place I like which is on the mainland is Ban Grood or Ban Krud in Pratchuap Kiri Khan province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler1973 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I was very impressed with Koh Lipe, I heard a lot of moaning about it and I went in low season a year back and beach and sea were damn lovely. Had some cheap-ish kind of places and smart looking resort-y type places too. I got upgraded to a beachside hut, baracuda resort, I think from one of their other places (rennovating) and it was tremendous. No cars, small place, easy to walk around, lovely beach (on one side in particular) and sea looked fantastic even in low season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishken Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I've done most of all the popular beaches in Thailand other than the ones in the deep south that have become popular over the last few years and i've enjoyed and liked almost all them. It really depends how easily your are pleased and i'm usually happy with nice weather and a beer in hand with some food close by. Now once the kids are happy i'm happy. I was in Pattaya this year for the first time since 2006 and the sand down the bottom of the beach road around soi 2 -7 was nice. If they just employed a few people to clean the rubbish, it would be even better. I can't give an opinion about the best beach side resorts but i used to love Charlie's huts on Chewang beach. Long gone now but i've great memories of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
