We have just returned from our 2nd visit to Palm Gardens from Bangkok where we live and we are already checking-out the calendar for our next visit! There is something about this place that is so relaxing; the beautiful gardens, no endless traffic, the deserted beach/es, the hospitality and the breakfasts as well! We have always driven down from BKK... More

We stayed at Palm Gardens for 6 nights at the beginning of April. After a 6 hour taxi transfer from Bangkok it was nice to be greeted by the owners of the villas on arrival. The hosts are genuinly friendly and helpful and are definitely not in it to make money - they could charge a lot more for their... More

It all started when Larry picked me up from the railway station and stopped in town so I could load up with some goodies with good advice from Larry. After a short drive we arrive at... More

Our room was big, with a high standard of decoration and fittings - the photos here and on the website didn't do it justice...... More

The rooms are spotless and spacious and the gardens and pool a delight .Larry even took time to pick us up on... More

there's nothing new to add, just can repeat what others said: Thongbai + Larry are very charming + helpful hosts, the place is very nice, quiet, well kept, the rooms are spotlessly clean + comfy. 200m to the lonely: beach, swim + walk in peace, there's nearly nobody. some nice, affordable restaurants/bars in walking distance (no shops however: nearest one...
