Tha Khao Beach

This place was fabulous. The room was perfect and star lights on the ceiling at night. In fact the whole resort lights up at night and is beautiful. Everything was very clean and the hospitality was top notch. The food was delicious, so many options for breakfast. The pools are awesome, the river pool just keeps going. There were many spots to lounge in the shade on swinging daybeds. It was an easy walk to the beaches and other local spots but I could have just spent all day every day there and been good.

Stayed for a weekend in June. Had a room with private pool which was excellent. Extremely spacious, well stocked and a great view of the Andaman sea. It wasn't prime season and the resort was very quiet but the service was excellent. Breakfast in the morning on the patio overlooking the infinity pool and the Sea was standout each day and thanks to Ning for connecting with me on day 3. 10-15 USD Grab to Kamala beach - I did walk it once buts it's a hike, and likely not all that safe given some blind corners and quick the ascent coming back from the beach. Would return!

The staff here is helpful and friendly, which was the absolute highlight of the stay. However, the breakfast has very few selections and gets repetitive quickly. Most disruptive of all is a strong, constant buzzing sound from an electric current echoing throughout the entire resort, making it hard to truly relax.
