Laem Thian Resort Koh Tao - Thailand.
Laem Thian Bungalows the place to getting away without getting stuck. This little resort is hidden like a treasure in a private bay at the north-east of the island.
In Laem Thian you can still find a few bamboo huts from the old times, but to cater for the modern travellers needs solid wooden bungalows have been established.
About the hotel: A little out the way but if you dont mind that its a great hotel, good bungalows, good staff, good jumping rock, great snokling, good ping pong!
About the hotel: We book this place from the nice pictures on the website. After arriving from the boat the taxi drivers not amused to bring us to Laem Thian Resort. So, waiting 1.5 hour for the free pick-up service. The trip from the main pier to the resort is horrible. The road the the resort is in so so so bad condition. You can not imagine. The bad road make you can not move at all the time you stay here. Or you have to pay 100 thb one way/person to make the horror 30 minute 1.5 km trip to the main land. The wooden bungalows are very very basic. No electricity from 6.30-18.00. No chair, no blanket, no hot shower even no soap. Only a lot of mosquito s even if using the net. The food and excursions in this resort are expensive. But you have no choice, you can not move. The only positive thing is the beautiful and quite area and nature around the resort and the very beautiful bay. The price look like cheap. But the food excursions and the expensive taxi-service to the main land make you spend a lot of money here. This place not worth!!
About the reservation service: Very good, fast and reliable. Everything perfect, secure and not any problem. I can recommend.
About the hotel: 6 of us girls stayed here for 4 nights, we really enjoyed ourselves! the staff were really nice and friendly, very chilled out in day on private beach and then funky at night at the bar right by the beach. Got free pick up from ferry port, just b wary of the bumpy travel to the hotel!! Still a traveller s Haven for sure - cheap and cheerful!!
About the reservation service: The booking was fine on here.
About the hotel: this place is a great hidden oasis. owner is very helpful. downfalls were garbage everywhere and food was overpriced and because of remote location no other options.
About the hotel: The hotelstandard was low, but you get what you pay for, so it was very cheap. Nice snorkling. Good cooking, nice staff. Very bad road to the hotel - don´t rent a bike - it could kill you! The first transport to the hotel was a bit scary - sitting back on the van trying not to be throwed of the car made your heart beat faster. But you get used to it, so the next time it felt better.
About the hotel: Laem Thain is very basic and set is in the most beautiful bay you can ever imagine. If it is remote and island style simplicity you need then this is for you. Ping Pong the owner and her staff are all very friendly and really go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. We are divers and found it easy to book at Black tip resort in the next bay as they just picked us up from the shore with a long tail boat. Snorkelling and food is great. I would go back one day
About the reservation service: AMAZING, fast and very effective will use you again
About the hotel: Just awful - conditions only just above squalid, remote to the point of inaccessibility - fine if you want to be trapped in a commune and ripped off but otherwise don t go anywhere near - definitely the worst place we ve ever stayed in. Very very poor value.
About the hotel: Excellent place! Rustic but well put-together bungalows set atop a little bay with majestic views of the east side of Ko Tao. Very relaxing...hardcore 30 minutes in the the back of a pick up truck to get there but so worth it. Removed yet they go into town twice a day so still get your shopping done. The staff are sooo lovely - Ping Pong and her husband run to the place (she makes great cocktails and can do fire poi!) and her Burmese staff are all smiles and very welcoming. Food is decently priced and so yum (it s Jun s wife who cooks and she ll show you how to make your favourite dish if you re nice). Snorkel right off the beach, jump off the 10m jumping rock, take a day trip to another part of the island...stayed ten days (you ll definitely want at least 6) and promised to return. Wonderful. Perfect for couples or the singles. Great energy - quite still in mid-October but met really nice people coming through. Don t stay in a room - stay longer and bargain with Ping Pong for your own bungalow!
About the reservation service: Terrific. No problems. Fast emails and good communication.

Pick-up service from the ferry pier to the Resort is free of charge.
This little resort is hidden like a treasure in a private bay
at the north-east of the island.
Seemingly difficult to reach it offers a free pick-up service for
guests and a reasonable priced shuttle service for extra rides
back to civilization. You will have a breathtaking view from every
bungalo with their spacious verandahs over the east coast of Koh Tao
and over to Koh Phangan, even Samui on a clear day.
In Laem
Thian you can still find a few bamboo huts from the old times, but
to cater for the modern travellers needs solid wooden bungalows have

***Electricity is available
from 6 p.m. till 7 a.m. ***
The bay itself offers excellent snorkeling and in the back on can spent
hours of trekking in the lush jungle.
Being treated as a friend
rather than a customer will make you wish to come back. This is the
right place for nature lovers and people who care for their peace of
mind. However should you get bored at all you can always join the lively
owners on a night-trip to their chilled out Sala Bar "Ping Pong" in
Sairee and mingle for a while with the party crowd.
