If you're looking to escape from it all, this is the place. Nestled under a national park, Than Sadet is perfect for swimming and Mai Pen Rai has a great restaurant on the beach and a wide variety of bungalows to choose from. Enjoy!

I loved the remote location and the staff were lovely. This is no luxury spot by any means (no hot water or ac) but this is the spot if you want to get away from it all. Glamping at its finest!

Die Unterkunft ist vom Pier aus in einer 25 minütigen Taxi Fahrt über sehr steile Straßen zu erreichen, daher ist die Bucht sehr abgelegen und es gibt lediglich 2 Restaurants in der Anlage, was aber ausreichend ist. Eines direkt am Strand (coole Musik) und das andere höher gelegen mit atemberaubenden Blick aufs Meer! Der Strand ist traumhaft schön und man fühlt sich wie Robinson.... Die Zimmer genügen etwas unterschiedlich hohen Standards, die neueren mit betonierten Fundament, die älteren nur aus Holz, es gibt Ventilatoren und Moskitonetze. Zum Teil sind die Unterkünfte in die Felsen bzw an den Hang gebaut und über abenteuerliche Wege zu erreichen. Insgesamt ein wunderschöner Platz, den wir nicht vergessen werden.

A perfectly secluded bungalow on the rocks just above the ocean! You just get the basics here with no Wifi in the bungalow but an absolutely amazing nature view instead! Mai Pen Rai offers amazing food and especially the Thai food dishes and fried fish dishes are absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is totally laid back, boheme-like and chill as are the staff. Just what I needed! It's also worth mentioning that Mai Pen Rai are very focused on minimising plastic use and only have water in glass bottles, as well as a refill option! The beautiful beach is guarded by a healthy, well-nourished and friendly pack of dogs and a super cute pet pig. All in all it was a true healing experience to be here and I booked another week in one of the beach bungalows on arrival. Thanks a lot, Mai Pen Rai -- I'll be back!

I liked the unique location. I was hesitant when purchasing these bungalows for such a cheap price, that they wouldn't deliver on location. But they did. It truly was a bungalow on the rocks - on the rocks of the beach! Fantastic. I enjoyed every minute of my stay. Thank you so much Mai Pen Rai Bungalows. I think they are under rated and should sit at 4 stars.

Great place, very wild and peaceful! Totally worth it. The north of the island is a much nicer and fulfilling experience.

Très bel endroit, idyllique par beau temps, sinon vous vous retrouverez un peu isolé et trésors dépendant des taxis hors de prix sur l'île ! Les bungalows sont très jolis, propres, Avec terrasse et hamac très agréables ! Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de wifi.

This place is paradise on earth, perfect beach! Stayed at the family bungalows on the rocks, beautiful location and view. Restaurants are good! Don't stay here if you're not physically fit, it's a lot of climbing steep stairs and literally over and through rocks. Off the beaten path , secluded, but you can arrange for taxi to just about anywhere. Electricity gets turned off at certain times and no hot water, so be prepared for that, also wifi is almost non existent , even at restaurants. Sleep under mosquito nets for sure as the bungalows are easily access to outside critters, you might get a bat, gecko, or anything else that fits through the crevices.definitely a unique experience, but beautiful one.

I'm an outdoors-y, rural type stuck in the city for work. This was the perfect place to get away from everything. It takes some time to get there but that's what makes it worth it. They offer taxi services and jeep/bike rentals. I had a room on the rocks with a great view and space away from other travelers. There's four restaurants available, but the main one is the best. Wonderful, friendly staff who care about their guests. The beach is pebbly but still pleasant, and there are lots of rocks to climb and explore. You can even hike up the river to see some waterfalls. Beautiful place for catching sunrises. And at night you can actually see the stars! Would definitely come again!

Einzigartig ist die Lage ganz direkt am Meer, somit auch ziemlich laut. Und in der Bucht ist es nicht so voll wie an anderen Stellen. Das Mobiliar ist Marke Eigenbau: rustikal, haltbar. Die Kehrseite: manchmal nicht mehr so funktional. Insgesamt eine tolle Unterkunft an einem besonderen Ort.

Great for those that thrill in nature. Interesting, unique, basic, comfy, spacey beach bungalows in a gorgeous spot. Get some walking done and enjoy the waterfalls. Good thai food menu at restaurant. Would definately go again! Do take mossie repellent though!

Fantastisk naturoplevelse, havet var bogstavelig talt lige ude foran døren. Bungalows trænger til en opgradering/renovering, specielt badeværelset trænger. Flinkt personale i restauranten. Forskellige retter at vælge imellem, thai food og børneretter til fornuftige priser. Skal besøges for naturoplevelsen ved stranden (og ikke værelset).

Great location if you want to be away from it all and just chill and relax. We were in a family hut in the rocks. Tricky if you have very small children but fine for us. It’s basic but as I mentioned in the title if you like glamping you’ll love this place. The staff were lovely. Very welcoming and really appreciated it when we tried to speak a tiny bit of Thai. If we stayed longer we would think about renting a jeep to explore more of the island. We would definitely go back.

Die Bungalow benötigen dringend einer Renovierung! Aber die Lage, der Strand und das Ambiente der Unterkünfte sind einmalig wundervoll!!! Leider sind einige Servicekräfte nicht gerade bestgelaunt!!!
