Not a well-known or part of a big hotel chain, Ban Laem Sai resort offers much more than an unfamiliar name. Even though Samui is kind of far off Bangkok (around 8 hours drive + 30 minutes on a boat but air travel possible), you’re guaranteed to be offered the sight of one of the most spectacular beaches you’ve ever seen. All the rooms are actually chalets and villas, making them very spacious, and each offer, of course, a great view of the beach. The spa is highly recommended, offering the famous Thai massage. There is only one restaurant, but its dishes include Thai, Japanese, as well as Italian. Most importantly, the service is brilliant and the staff are always full of smiles. Predictably, the prices are quite high but it is all worth it, guaranteed.
