This place is magic: Fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves, wake up to the sound of crashing waves (You'll get used to it, honest), walk the long empty beach, have a swim, watch everyday's unique sunset, enjoy the special visitors (maybe a small frog or a monkey in your bathroom maybe scarabs buzzing in the few precious hours...

Before going make sure you read all there is to know about this resort as this is a special place and for me it was like nowhere I have been before. The basics you need to know are: most houses don't have hot water, no electricity during the day, very remote (not worth going out of your way for only... More

Thank you very much for taking the time to review Golden Buddha. We really appreciate your feedback. In particular we will look at the experience provided by Baan Chang. As you have pointed out all the houses at Golden Buddha are individually owned and so each house means you are experiencing the home & love of a specific owner. For... More

We visited Golden Buddha Beach for the first time last Christmas and have been back twice since. After 7 years living in Asia we have had holidays in many different parts of Thailand and other countries, but as soon as our longtail boat landed in the bay here, we knew we had found our perfect destination. Frankly we aren't interested... More

In a word: Incredible. If you are looking for a place to relax, enjoy nature and be surrounded by some of the nicest people ever, then look no further! A remote unspoiled island, Koh Phra Thong is an absolute gem! The houses are open, so yes, you will get to know some of the wildlife around you, but that is... More

There can't be many places left in Thailand that are as unspoilt and peaceful as Golden Buddha. It takes ages to get here and it took us a day to get used to the peace and calm here and pace of life. The beaches are beautiful and completely unspoilt, which also means no sun loungers or waiters which we'd normally... More

Golden Buddha is very remote so before you head over there do make sure that you are in the mood for this type of getaway. Their marketing sales pitch is "The Luxury of Nature" but really it should say " The Simplicity of Nature" because there is nothing luxurious about GB. The website is pretty clear about what GB stands... More

Overall this is a great place to totally unwind and relax, but you need to know what you are getting before you go (which we did). Its a bit of an eco resort so there is no air con, only electric at certain times of the day and you will certainly get to know the local wildlife (including bugs). The... More

fifth year in a row, and they still can't get it wrong! perfect location, great staff, sheer beauty and peace abounding. keep the air con away, keep the motor vehicles away, and continue to get just the right people. Don't take your babies. More

We have just spent 5 days at the beautiful and natural Golden Buddha Resort. You fall in love with the Island as you approach on the longtail boat and it certainly doesn't disappoint. Our house was basic in terms of no air-con or hot showers but the georgous and enormous bed, fantastic sea view from the terrace and the little... More

We stayed 3 nights, but wished we had stayed longer. "Our" house, Baan C2, was the best of them all :-) A real thai style house on pillars - with the most beautiful views from the porch. The only complaint: just two chairs at the terrasse was not enough for the four of us. We almost had a fight :-)... More
