Thung Yai Holidays

Amazing location, rooms basic but clean, food rather bad (unfortunate since there aren't many options nearby)…

Booked a king deluxe suite with partial ocean view and small pool/bathtub on balcony based on pictures on Expedia. Room was much different, no view and nothing on balcony. Front desk staff told me the online pictures are wrong and I got the right room.

Make the most of your stay by expecting an upscale hostel and accept that you are paying 90 percent of the price for the proximity to the beach. They clean your room everyday and you can use the pool in the resort next door. Expect absolutely zero service or amenities otherwise, the reception is purely decorative. They occasionally buzz people in, that's it. If you are travelling alone or are a single parent you need someone else that can assist you in an emergency. Two phone calls and two messages 48 hours before arrival were not sufficient to organise something as simple as an airport shuttle. I still don't know if that's even a service they offer. Don't use the laundry or the dryer, they neither wash nor dry. Bring headphones or earplugs. They only give you one keycard and all day long people try to get into their rooms by knocking loudly on the doors. Good luck.

Lovely place- very clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast was limited and

We liked not being in the very touristy area but was able to visit multiple times per day ( if we wanted too). All staff were very helpful and the tour shop across the road accommodated all our requests. I would highly recommend this place if you want peace and a relaxing holiday.
