We were looking for a quiet place on Koh Lanta, and had the bad idea to trust the lonely planet. 1. Obnoxious personnel The personnel at Sang Kha Ou resort, is absolutely obnoxious, from the start to the very end. Otto, the "manager", literally jump on people coming to visit the place, saying: If you don't buy anything here, you... More

We booked this place for 2 nights at the beginning of Jan. on Agoda.com. The price was right and the idea of "themed" rooms sounded awesome! When we arrived on Ko Lanta, we drove a good 45 min. on moped to get there on. This place is way south, in fact, it is the only resort in the area and... More

I booked this place through Agoda.com and the idea of living on a Tree House would be nice for a change. Frankly, this place needs some professional to guide the owner how to run it properly. Of the 4 Tree Houses, 2 were not usable due to maintenance problems. Not sure about the rest. During my 1 night's stay there,... More

The main problem with this resort is the obnoxious, but somewhat Buddha-like, owner/manager. He was truly awful whan I arrived to negotiate a price, complaining at one point that he shouldn't gave me a lower price as I "probably wouldn't eat in the restaurant anyway". Eventually we negotiated a suitable price but when I went to the (boat) room I... More

we stayed at Sang Kha Ou in October for four nights. We had a fantastic time there, made friends with the staff, they took us to theirs friends rock-concert on the other side of the island, the great cook made wonderful food and told us his mothers kitchen secrets, the place itself is absolutely beautiful with treehouses and bungalows that...

We arrived here looking for somewhere quiet to stay and asked to see the rooms. The manager refused to let us see the rooms before paying for a night. He said he was sick of showing people the rooms and then them not staying. We told him we were genuinely looking for a place to stay, and he insisted that... More

This is a terrible place to stay. I was misguided byt the review they got in the lonely planet guide.... It is not a resort, nor a spa. More like an abandonned hostel by a rocky beach.... I was charged 1000 baths/night to sleep in a dirty bamboo hut. At night I wanted to go out to the old city... More

I can only agree whole-heartedly with everything in the previous review "Sang Kha Ou - Don't Stay Here". Having had the misfortune of actually staying at Sang Kha Ou Resort and 'Spa' I can also add things don't get much better if you hang around. We (rather naively perhaps) pre-arranged our stay here and it didn't take us long to... More
