Koh Phaluai Beach Bangalow

I love the staff working there. Amazing, friendly and hospitable people. Easy communication via whatsapp. They organised us arrival at the island and departure from it by longtail boat. Breakfasts and dinners are delicious. The place is perfect to chill up and visit other patrs of Ang Thong National Marine Park, to watch sunsets and have a swim. The bangalows have everything to sleep well. But you should know that nights can be really hot there. The best way to move around is rent a motorbike or you can ask hosts to give you a ride. Awesome place, worth experiancing.

Travelling from June to August be aware of sandflies.

gorgeous setting with beautiful gardens. the location is very cool and breezy and at night the chairs on the beach are perfect for star gazing. We had an idyllic trip by longtail boat to Anf Tjong marine park. Go early, as your hosts suggest, and you will have Ang Thong to yourself for a few hours. Breakfast is generous and our hosts are just the loveliest people. Sao and Mr Daeng. we will always remember you and hope to return to Koh Phaluai xxxx

superb location, waking up every morning to the sea view and Ang thong marine park in the distance. lovely lovely people. this is Thai hospitality at its best. the bungalows are simple and have all you need- very good new mattress, cotton sarong in each room and new mosquito nets ( though sea breezes mean there are so few mosquitos). The gardens are lovely with hornbills, frogs and you are deep in nature here, yet with home comforts, drinking water available and a huge shady seating area, hammocks, trees, flowers and peace. Sao cleans and rakes the beach each morning, and sitting at night by the sea under a starry sky with no light pollution is sublime. Daeng and Sao arranged for us to go on the trip of a lifetime in a local longtail boat, arriving in Ang Thong Marine Park hours before tourists arrived so we had the place to ourselves

Getting here needs local advice. message the property for boat timetables from ‘ Phaluai Pier’ in Donsak town ( not rajah pier or lomprayah google it) There is a local ferry for 200 Baht. it’s very easy once you get the timetable and location and Sao will pick you up from the landing place on Phaluai. Or you can WhatsApp her and she will get back to you. Don’t be put off by travel arrangements This place is like Samui 50 years ago. environmentalists will be aware that the island is subject to breezes and sea currents ( which make it so cool in the heat), but through no fault of the Phaluai islanders, the beach is a combination of beautiful shells and coral, but also the effects of tourism. The beach here at the bungalows is kept clean, but bring reef shoes or walk in crocs.

super friendly staff, very much Family vibes, sao is also a great chef (try her green curry !) Daeng is chill, Interested and very funny! bubgalows are clean and cozy.

ko phaluai unfortunately has a huge plastic waste problem. people also burn plastic, which is a little nasty and sad also, makes you think…

Great Location, directly at the beach with no other tourists around. great staff, trying their best to make everything you need possible. it was very quite there which was perfect to relax

it was very difficult to get there! the very important information that there is not a ferry every day is very hard to find. when we contacted the owners of the bungalows they send us the ferry schedule (it was not possible to find it online) which said that there is not on ferry that a ferry to ko phaluai. when we wanted to book a longtail boat (which they recommended to us) they told us the evening before our arrival that, due to the weather, no longtail boat could pick us up. we then had to spontaneously find an organization that offers tours though ang thong national park with a short break at phaluai so we could get off there. it was very expensive and stressful to find a boat on such short notice! I would definitely recommend contacting the owners before (!) you book anything and only book for days on which a ferry can get you on the island.

Everything was perfect ! Very good location on the beach, staff very friendly, I recommend a lot !

Nothing

We had a very nice time on Koh Phaluai. All the staff made the stay very pleasant. Would definitely come again.
