Best Pak Phayun Hotels

"We had booked a ”sea view” room, which is in fact one of the 2 rooms closest to the hotel entrance/exit) with a window giving you a little bit of a lake view. You have to cross the street, walk a few meters and pass the trees to have a real good view of the lake. A little bit of an overselling? Probably yes, but this was not a big deal for us. The first of the 2 rooms meeting the definition of that we had booked had a poor AC (35° and not going down - I trust it will be fixed fast, if not done already). The gentleman managing the place was kind enough to give us the other one (which luckily was available!). It was small, clean and tidy with a good bathroom. Nothing fancy about it, yet nice; we felt good (and the AC worked wonderfully to bring the temperature down to 24/25°). The owner allowed us to use his fridge to stock some of our fresh products (no fridge in the room). The small car park across the street is convenient. Coffee is made available in the morning. No breakfast. The hotel is a few kilometers away from the city. Overall, we were satisfied with our overnight stay."

"Idyllic little resort with an amazing beach. Staff all extremely friendly as was the German owner. Food very good and well priced. Bungalows comfortable and clean despite a few ants but that’s to be expected in such a location. Would have felt more comfortable and sense of security had I had an extra latch for the door from the inside as the beach bungalows are rather isolated from the rest of the main building with easy access from the road and beach. Aside from that, I would stay again on my next road trip up the east coast of southern Thailand. Breakfast was enormous and I couldn’t finish what I ordered. The staff member did a great job and the coffee was amazing! Lovely spot and a must if you are in the vicinity. Some street signage would help business I guess. Thank you for a memorable stay!"
