Uwe Kersten 2009-03-17	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach My wife and I paid a visit to Asia Bungalows at the Salad Beach on Koh Phangan in last March. I had first booked a bungalow there for nine nights only. However, since we liked it there very well, I prolonged after some days until 17 nights. This nice resort was located directly on the wonderful beach, the beautiful bay and has very beautiful bungalows. Our beachfront bungalow had two terraces, a dark glassed sliding door to the beach and also otherwise was equipped well. AC and a safe were natural availably. The bungalow was very clean and the bed has a good quality. The bungalows were integrated in a park area with many palms and plants. The service was carried out by an older thai lady very well with her guys . These also cared about the whole garden area. One also could hand in laundry to the lady for washing. The operator couple was also very nice; guests remaining longer were picked up from the port or driven back by them or by the boss personally with the SUV. Both were always responsive for questions, too. Therefore a recommendation is worth Asia Bungalows any time. There still is a small disadvantage there, though. Of course one is not alone in the bay. There still are other resorts and hotels in the bay (Thats not a problem!!), but at the opposite beach lay several longtail boats there. It was the problem that these boats are started by its owners at 6 o clock in the morning. Some owners let the engines warm up substantially only. This then can be disturbing. Otherwise like to decide again to the Asia Bungalows . Thanks a lot for a pleasant stay at your resort. Uwe Kersten	Very good and no problems
natalie smith 2009-02-22	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, accom is basic but as you are located on a beautiful beach who wants to be inside?? was clean and staff were helpful, would def recommend to other travellers
Michael 2009-02-17	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Nice,comfortable bungalows, nothing fancy, ours had air con and a spacious bathroom. The bed was two twins pushed together to make a king. Ocean view from porch, Haad Salad beach was just a few steps away. We only interacted with one woman who appeared to run the place and she was pleasant. The bungalow rents motor scooters (like everyone on Ko Phangan) and their is on site laundry service. We would stay here again.	No problems, everything went smoothly
Keilholz Cornelia 2009-02-15	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Nice and clean bungalow. Cleaned every second day. The garden is very well kept. Only ten bungalows, three of them are right at the beach with a beautiful view over the lovely Salad beach. There is no restaurant and not even a reception. That makes it a very quiet place but it always looks a bit deserted and charmless. Owners are nice (if you ever see them...).	Easy as always!
Rose-Marie Baranski 2009-01-17	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach thank s we love the place. koh panang is thailand	sawadee is the place to book the holliday thanks to mrs thida on sawadee
Susanne Tremmel 2009-01-15	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach In my opinion one of the nicest places in Thailand. This year was our 3. visit there. Really wonderfull!!	very good
Halima N 2009-01-03	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach It was a bolevly place! the bangalow we had was clean, the owner sent a taxi to pick us up on arrival to the island. Pitty they don t have their own restaurant, but there are enough places to chill, eat, drink and you can easily rent a motor bike to discover the island.	this was a great site.. user friendly, and immediate reaction with availability and so.. Well done!
Margareth Minero 2009-01-03	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach This resort is great. Great location, nice, clean rooms with plenty of space. Although there is no restaurant in the resort, it s not a problem because there are plenty of restaurants along the beach. The people that run the resort pretty much leave you to yourself. Highly recommned it.	No problem with booking
Tarryn Anderson 2009-01-03	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Stunning! Amazing! Beautiful! Asia Bungalows are right on the beachfront at Haad Salad. They are quiet, well kept and clean. The staff are very friendly and even arranged a taxi for us at 6am when we needed to leave. There are only 8 bungalows wich is nice as you dont have alot of people arong you. I recomend Asia Bungalows for couples and people with children who are looking for a quiet, relaxing stay.	Easy, efficient and reliable.
Dominique 2009-01-02	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach This is a beautiful and simple place right on the stunning beach of Haad Salat. We recommend it to all and really look forward to going back. Make sure to book a beach front room if you can.	ok
Garry W Mitchell 2008-12-14	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Wonderful bungalow in a beautiful setting. No ammenities .... no retaraunt, wi-fi, TV .... just the beach and relaxation .... The noise was a problem when we were there but they say it normally is very quiet.	Booking was fine .... though contacting the establishment for pick up service was difficult.
Mario Sostar 2008-10-18	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Accomodation excellent, and the location very good, not on a crowded beach.	Good, everything ok!
PABLO BOLADO DANEO 2008-09-19	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Very nice and quiet, perfect for relaxing and amazing woman taking care of Boungalows and people, really nice woman. Pop can mai!	Without problems, would use it again.
Mr Joseph Obertelli 2008-09-04	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Helpful, friendly staff, clean and comfortable bungalows.Beachfront setting was terrific. Nice beach, lots of eating places to choose from. Would (and did!) come back to stay again.	Fast and efficient.
myles cooper 2008-08-20	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach hi, beautiful located bungalows, bungalows are beautiful from the outside but very plain inside, no tv in any hut, very basic, but very clean
Nico Nagel 2008-08-14 until 2008-08-19	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Not cheap but new and very clean bungalows with service (towel cleaning etc). We enjoyed our stay there directly on the beatiefull quiet beach. The english of the stuff was not very good but they were very friendly so... no problem. I can recommend the bungalow 100% if the price is not to much for you.
Simon Fieldhouse 2008-08-11 until 2008-08-16	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach My partner and I booked Asian Bungalows after we were unable to get into Salad Beach or Salad Hut resorts. In the end we were very pleased that we didn t get accomodation at the latter. Asian Bungalows was superb. A beautiful setting, spotlessly clean with really friendly people. While Asian Bungalows has no pool or restaurant - this didn t matter - there are plenty of restaurants within one or two minutes, village facilities were good too. If you re heading to Tahiland - By Pass Samui - it s passed it s use by date - head for Phangang and Asian Bungalows - a great stay.
Peter Eliasson 2008-07-16 until 2008-07-21	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach We had a great stay at Asia Bungalows. The location was perfect, right on the beach. The bungalow was clean and very nice. We stayed 5 days and we liked it so much so we came back for another week before we went home. We will for sure come back again and we really recomend this place.	Very easy as allways when you book at sawadee.
Majda Dirsén 2008-06-20 until 2008-06-22	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Very anonymously bungalows,there was no receptiondesk. The bungalow was very simple, unconfortable beds. No great value for the money. I can not recommend this hotel.	Excellent!
Cheong Kai Lam 2008-06-18 until 2008-06-20	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Very nice bungalows, I have unforgetable memories during my stay. the beach and the sunshine. what a wonderful view. And of course, the full moon party was amazing.
Szabo Peter 2008-06-12 until 2008-06-18	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Nicest resort at Haad Salad beach (and even on Koh Phangan) with a beautiful garden. Family who runs the bungalows is very friendly and helpful. Good neighbouring restaurant with young and friendly staff (Haad Salad Villa), where we ate each day. Book superior bungalow because the sea view from its terrace and even from inside the room is priceless! The interior of the room is also nice, only the mattress is hard, but it seems to be a common feature of Thailand hotels. A relaxing place with few people around in June.	Everything went smoothly
Bo Vikstrom 2008-05-09 until 2008-05-17	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Wonderful place. We like our stay stay at Asia Bungalows. Got free pickup from pier. We didn t get any pickup when we come but we get a superior bunglow right on the beach instead. Wonderful. Very clean but the beds are a little to hard for my taste. Have an excellent restaurant as neighbour with very good food. Will def. go back as soon as i can.	As usual, no problem.
anna maria viola wahlsberg 2008-04-05 until 2008-04-09	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach We loved our stay in Asia bungalows. The bungalow was very clean and nice. Very relaxing place, with a nice beach. Everything was perfect. We will absolutely come back here next year!	Very quick and easy. Nothing to complain about.
Katrin Schroetter 2008-04-02 until 2008-04-07	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Best bungalow we stayed in so far. Everything new and clean, very nice people! Someone who´s looking for a quiet nice, snorkel and sunbath holiday is on the safe side here! we had a great time!	Eveything went quite fast, thank you!
ivan 2008-03-29 until 2008-04-04	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Superior suite is the best on Salad beach (value/money). the hotel s territory has great green landscape. Very quite. Liked it very much.
Gertrud Sund 2008-03-24 until 2008-03-31	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach The best place we stayed at during our vacation in Thailand! Beautiful and clean bungalows, very kind staff/owner, nice and quiet beach. If you want to relax in style, this is the place for you!	Great, very easy.
Prof. Dr. H. Oeltzschner 2008-03-11 until 2008-03-18	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Nice bungalows in a quiet, peaceful garden environment. Very kind owners who invitetd us at the end of our stay for a BBQ! Simple, but very clean bungalows. The beach front bungalows should be equipped with 2 beds instead of one Grand Lit. Excellent restaurant next door (Salad beach resort) with very reasonable prices. During low tide swimming in the beach not possible. Very interesting reef just 100 m from the resort.	Perfect service by Sawadee.com
John Brown 2008-03-08 until 2008-03-18	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach A superb and very informal site with just 5 semi-detached bungalows making 10 bungalows in all. No other facilities, no pool, and no bar, and as a result the bungalows are spaced out nicely in good well kept grounds. The furthest bungalow from the beach is only about 70 metres. This is possibly the cleanest place we have ever stayed at – anywhere! The bungalows were cleaned and all bedding and towels changed every 2nd day. The couple that run Asia Bungalows are very friendly and responded to all our requests in a genuine and positive way. They arranged our exit taxi for 6am and the driver turned out to be their son - good service and good value. On the beach there are a variety of places to eat with two of the best – ‘Bens Place’ for top quality barbecued fish, and passable, steaks right next door and next door to that a delightful little place called ‘Corel Beach’ – very Thai, and a reasonable selection of Western food as well - all at bargain prices. There are lots of other places to eat and drink along the beach, and just behind it, and that is where you will find the Reggae bar – well worth a call or two. The sea in this resort is lovely and shallow – safe for children and non swimmers alike - with a great sandy beach. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book this site again.	Worked well - easy to use
Kraus 2008-03-08 until 2008-03-14	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Very nice place to stay. really good prize. Nice bay.	good
Gyger Stefan 2008-03-03 until 2008-03-07	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Die Bungalows sind sehr schoen und sauber. Es hat jeder Meerblick und die drei vordersten sind sogar Beachfront. Es sind Doppelbungis, was ueberhaupt nicht stoerend ist. Restaurants hat es direkt danaben und somit ist auch dies nicht stoerend, dass das Asia wirklich nur aus Bungalows besteht. Strand ist fuer Kinder optimal. Haette es nicht geregnet, haetten wir eine ganze Woche verlaengert.	Hat alles super geklappt. Jederzeit wieder
heike meyer-fuerst 2008-02-16 until 2008-02-19	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach very clean and comfortable bungalows, quiet, nice surrounding and perfect place on the beach! The beachfront bungalows (superior) are top with big terrace and balcony and very nice view! The owners are very nice and helpful. A lot of restaurants are available on the beach..	perfect, no problems , very easy and quick!!
Sten Olsson 2008-02-13 until 2008-02-16	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach A very nice family owned place. Just 9 excellent bungalows close to the beach and a simple reception building, all in a nice garden-like area. No restaurant, BUT it is no disadvantage. All other hotels/ bungalows at the beach have restaurants and we went to different places both for breakfast and all other meales. Good and reasonable prices and more variation than you often get with breakfast included. The beach is worth an own chapter! Clean white sand with plenty of room. 75 m out in the water you find the coral reaf. Bring you own snorkel. It is not the best reaf in the world but clear water and plenty of fish and you can visit it as often as you like at no cost. We did find only one disadvatage with the bungalows, the beds. They are extremely hard. We will ask for an extra mattress if we return to Ko Phangan. If so we will definitely go to Salat Beach depending of the beach quality. Much better than Chaweng Beach on Ko Samui. All this is valid if you like a nice not too intensive vacation. If you like intensive night life and Indian tailors every 20 m go somewhere else!
travelmikel 2008-01-24 until 2008-01-27	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Really good location, the bungalows just a few metres from the beach, everything new and fine. Good aircon, fridge, cleaning everyday. Nice owner family and good service. Would stay there again.	Everything fast and fine again.
Chris Dabbs 2008-01-17 until 2008-01-26	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach WONDERFUL...We have stayed in resorts all over Thailand but this has been the best by a long way. Spotlessly clean rooms, well appointed with aircon and a fan, small fridge, instant hot water and nice decor. Cleaned every other day with fresh linen and towels, free drinking water and toilet paper daily. Laundry is available a 40 baht a kilo, it is returned the next day all laundered and ironed impecably. Penni and her staff keep the grounds and the rooms in excellent shape, flowers and grassy areas lovingly tendeded to.. Do not be put off by no bar or restaurant as there are many avilable minutes away. Pook and her staff next door just right of Asia are great, helpful and excellent food and prices. The beach is pleasant but does need a clean up well up the beach from Asia... An ideal retreat peaceful and beautiful, visit soon before they destroy it with up market botique resorts... The only down point I could find was the beds.....Hard to say the least....Have a great trip	Trouble Free As Always...Thank you.
Mikael K (sweden) 2008-01-09 until 2008-01-14	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Verry nice small village of bungalows put in nice spacious garden. There were only 10 bungalows when we were there witch makes this a very small hotel. The hotel isn t really a hotel though it don t have a reception or a resturant, but this is not any problem. The rooms are nice and the price is very low! The old lady that service the guest stay in a small building next to the hotel and that works out as an reception. Next door is another hotel with a cheap and good resturant where we had breakfast. The only negative thing is that the hotel dosen t really have any chairs for sunbathing/relaxing and they do not accept creditcard (only cash).	As always, this works like a charm!
Mr thakkar 2007-12-05 until 2007-12-07	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach nicely done rooms. very beutiful beach. only problem was hard beds. still worth every peny.	great service.
Nick Larson 2007-11-23 until 2007-11-28	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Clean accommodation located on a quiet beach. Asia is a great place to stay on Haad Salad if you re looking for somewhere cheap. We loved our stay relaxing and doing very little. Asia doesn t have any restaurant or bar facilities itself, but the beach has ten places to eat and drink within 5 mins walk (Asia is conveniently located in the middle). Should note however that at high tide, there is effectively no beach to sit on; but I think this is the same for most of the island. If you ve got a little more money to spend, recommed Salad Hut or Cookies (both on the same beach).	Excellent. Efficient and reliable.
Simon & Pip Tiller 2007-10-30 until 2007-11-02	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Relaxed in Chang Mai; chilled in Samui; horizontal in Asia Bungalows. Fanbloodytastic. No radio, TV; just the lapping waves 5 yards away. Even our 17 year old lad managed to do very liuttle for 3 days! Don t worry about lack of restaurant, plenty in easy walking distance along the beach. Salad Hut highly recommended for food, beer and pool! Don t play Pong tho , Oh, you re english, you beat me easily . Yeah right, he allowed me to pot 2. Cheers! Not the best beach for swimming, but ok. Quite a few dogs around, had one that used to escort us from the restaurant back to the accommodation looking out for us!! V friendly, and he slept on the veranda. Beds a little firm but got used to it. Shower fine, fridge great, staff great. Would certainly go back...	Does what it says on the tin. Great.
Hubert Klouceck 2007-10-03 until 2007-10-06	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Verry nice place,quiet and a good beach. only few steps to swimming and snorkling come back again!!	always great
Michal Berkovich 2007-09-06 until 2007-09-09	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach we stayed at a beach front bungalow. the view from the bungalow is PERFECT and it s right on the beach. the bungalow was ok but we think it s a little bit costly compared for other resorts around. the bungalow was clean and comfortable, also the facilities around. there is no restuarant at asia bungalow but we think it s better this way since it s more quite and there are many places to eat with a few minutes of walking. also, the hotel location is great - just in the middle of the beach, so it s close to every thing you need. and the staff clean the bungalow almost every day. we enjoyed our stay and recommend it.	PERFECT!!! credible and good service :)
Janine Grainger 2007-08-30	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach I stayed here in August 2007 with a group of friends and we LOVED the place. I booked due to the good reviews we d read online and we were not disappointed. For the price (we paid NZD$36 per couple per night) it was absolute luxury. The rooms are tastefully (and newly?) decorated, beds were large and each room had a mini kitchenette with fridge/bench etc. The bungalows are set in a nice well kept lawn/garden area with little pagodas you can sit out of the sun in. It s only metres to the beach (which was unfortunately very shallow), and there are many restaurants to choose from if you walk up and down the beach. We found the place next door particularly good! Staff were friendly, motorbike hire was avaiable very close, all round a great place to stay!
Bas Mensink 2007-08-28 until 2007-09-03	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Some of the nicest bungalows on the finest beach in Koh Phangan, new and clean. We had the A/C Superior bungalow, which was at the beach side and had an extra balcony with view at the sea. Nice and quiet beach, pretty far from the main tourist areas. Taxi service available for reasonable price, bike/car rent at 2 min. walk. There are plenty of bars and restaurants at the beach, of which we preferred Salad Hut the most. Too bad there s no pool, but the seawater is clean and warm. Definately recommended!	Perfect
Susanne Tremmel 2007-08-12 until 2007-08-16	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach It was our second visit at this resort. It was very very beautiful. The bungalows are very clean and the surroundig is very nice.	Very good
Kurt Faller 2007-06-16 until 2007-06-19	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Recommended. Clean, simple setup. Large room. Hot water. No restaurant, but as other reviewers wrote, not needed here because of other restaurants nearby. Nice little area.	Excellent as usual. Wouldn t reserve using anything else!
CHEUNG PAK CHI 2007-06-14 until 2007-06-15	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach It s a paradise!We lived in beach front bungalow and we saw the daw.The owners are very friendly!
Selena 2007-05-29 until 2007-06-02	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Fabulous little place. FOund it on Sawadee and was unsure if only glowing reviews were to be trusted - they can be. On arrival bags were carried to beachside bungalow, close walk to several restaurants and view to beach fabulous. For full moon party they organised a taxi to Haad Rin for us, and left us to ourselves, save for cleaning every second day. Was just a wonderfully relaxed, safe environment. I will be coming back again - price is fabulous and there was never any attempt to rip us off, which is a nice change from many other places we ve stayed! Asking for a twin room meant 2 double beds which was great - not the most comfortable but still, bathroom was clean and place was well kept. An absolute pleasure, highly recommended.	So easy, was great.
Teresa Morton 2007-05-22 until 2007-05-26	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach This place was absolutely amazing! we stayed 5 nights and we loved every moment of it. cheap price, bungalows are brand new and clean, located on the best part of the beach, has refrigerator and sink, owners were extremely friendly and helpful they felt like family, the garden was beautiful, the Had salad restaurant next door has the best Thai food in Thailand we ate there 3 times a day. Restaurant staff was also very friendly and funny. Basically no complaints at all. Just a note this place is for a quiet vacation but if you want a drink and some good reggae music just walk all the way down the beach to Doulbe Duke. I would definitely come back to asia bungalows. thanks luu!	No problem.
Pinar Gulek 2007-04-11 until 2007-04-15	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Loved the Haad Salad Beach. It definitely matches the paradise definition in my head. Very quiet (only waves and birds), cristal clean sea, corals 100m off-shore, delicious food, friendly people. Asia Bungalows have very nicely decorated, clean bungalows,also good value for money. Owner speaks limited English but very helpful & merry.	No problems at all.
Eugen Roth 2007-04-06 until 2007-04-14	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach Stayd the second time at asia bungalows. Very nice bungalows, friendly housekeepers, great beach for relaxing far away from big city lights . Nice restaurants along the beach. recommend Asia Bungalows 100%!	no problems
Kelly Farrell 2007-01-27 until 2007-02-03	Asia Bungalows, Salad Beach very nice simple and clean bungalows.the surrounding gardens were lovely and they are right on the beach. there is no restaurant but there are plenty of others along the beach, within a two minute walk. a nice sheltered bay to swim and snorkel in. very beautiful and relaxing! good for couples and families	easy booking service. secure and reliable
