Where should I start...just arrived in Ao Nang and having a bit of a culture shock after such a beautiful stay @ Seaview Bungalows run by Patrick & his lovely wife.
Expect basic bungalows, suberb views and service and a real jungle feeling, incl a pretty rough walk to one of the most beautiful and remote beaches ever...keep in mind that you're in the midst of nature and beauty with very few facilities and you ll have a great stay, I can assure you . Looking forward already to go back!

From the moment Patrick picked us up at the pier, we knew we were in good hands. He's chill, down to earth, helpful and fun. His wife is all of things, as well as an out of this world cook. My boyfriend (also a cook, and therefore very picky) and I spent our 1st 2 nights here, planning on venturing out to other areas of Koh Phangan. We spent the 3rd night somewhere else (more expensive and much less nice), and instantly decided to head back to SeaView. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Upon reading these reviews, I noticed the only people who had complaints about this place, are people who aren't up for being immersed in nature, without wifi and TV. That is exactly what I want on a vacation in Thailand, so if you do too, this is the place for you. The food here was the best of anywhere we ate in Thailand, including Bangkok. The hosts are incredible, we want them to be our friends! And the view from the bungalows as well as the dining deck are unbeatable. You do have to walk 5 minutes down a rugged path through the jungle to Thansadet beach, but it's good exercise and a beautiful journey. Also, Thansadet is the best laid back bohemian beach we saw on all of Koh Phangan. This is one of the last places you can go to escape the party animals. But if you want to party too, you can easily take a boat taxi to other parts of the island. In a nutshell, I can't wait to go back. This place is a gem, made extra special by the fantastic hospitality of the wonderful hosts.

We stayed here for 2 weeks. it was exactly what we needed to just get away from everything and chill out. Patrick picks you up from town when you arrive, they are welcoming and willing to help with whatever you need. It felt like being home staying with them. The food is delicious - and all home-cooked. The view from our bungalow was delightful. The bungalows are simple but good quality, not like some of the smaller flimsey bungalows on the island. The bathroom is simple and adequate.
Situated in nature this place was definately for us. We hope to be going back next year to teach some massage courses as it is ideal for this.
Very chilled and we met some lovely people during our stay here.
If there is a down side it is that it is not easy to get around from here although Patrick was really kind and took us into town with him when we wanted to go.
The walk down to the beach is about 5 minutes and takes about 3 days to get used to the climb back up again but is well worth it when you get this view; Thank you so much guys for our wonderful stay. I would definately recommend it to anyone who wants a more calm holiday.

No frills, amazing view, nice food: a great place to relax.
