We read the reviews here and it sounded nice the food, the friendly owner. On arrival at the port of Koh Samet, you take a tuktuk to this property, you must sometimes wait a few minutes. It is not too far in the tuktuk, but would take 20-30 minutes by foot. We arrived and it was a beautiful spot, overlooking... More

We booked five nights here at the end of our honeymoon as a get-away after reading reviews on here and in Lonely Planet. It didn't disappoint. There is a beach but it's not wonderful. And that's the only negative thing I can think of to say (apart from bring some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper as the waves... More

We visited Koh Samet in August reluctantly but looking for some good weather in Thailand during the rainy season - research told us that Koh Samet was the driest place in the country in August an we were lucky to get 5 rain free days! Gutted we didnt find Baan Puu Paan sooner, after reading online we had decided to... More

Eight of us ate at Baan Puu Paan last Saturday night. Everything was fantastic from the atmosphere to the food. The food was the highlight of the evening. The 20 year old chef knows his stuff. The presentation was phenomenal and the food just melted in our mouths. We all ordered something different and had a taste of each others... More

My Thai wife and I stayed here for 7 nights recently. Our little bungalow over the water was outstanding and the staff who were running the place ( the boss was away overseas) are a real credit to her. Sitting on the deck of our bungalow supping a gin and tonic , watching the tide come in and the sun... More

Found this place to be a bit of a hidden gem. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the menu was varied with western and thia food available. The hostess Lizzie was very entertaining and took time to speak to all of the guests. I had no time limit but ended up staying for a month. I will certainly... More

We found this place mentioned in the Rough Guide and it was exactly what we were looking for. If you're looking for a hotel with creature comforts or a busy vibe this is not the place for you. My friend and I were looking for somewhere quiet to chill out and do nothing for a few days and we came... More

Think very carefully before you book here. Yes it is beautiful, yes the rooms look like the pictures on the internet, however do you like staying up all night listening to rave music pounding into your space? Do you like listening to other peoples arguements, banging on doors, shouting, swearing from the owner and her guests? The poor staff who... More

I came to koh samet alone, with a lonley planet guide in my pocket, walked in the baking sun with my heavy backpack untill one of the locals stopped and gave me a lift on his scooter for free, nice surprise :-) im rating this place excellent because of the hospitality of Lizzie. in some other reviews i think that...
