Thongtakian Resort
Compare prices
Sitting directly alongside Crystal Bay in the Maret area of Koh Samui, this beachfront resort combines a prime coastal location with well-maintained accommodation and attentive hospitality. Guests consistently highlight the spotless condition of the property, the charming atmosphere, and the immediate access to the beach — making it a practical and comfortable base for exploring the island. Rooms are spacious and regularly serviced, with fresh towels provided daily for both beach and shower use. The resort includes a beachside restaurant serving breakfast, and the friendly hosts are noted for going above and beyond, including room upgrades for some guests. Motorbike and scooter rentals are available on-site at around 200 THB per day, giving travellers an easy way to explore the surrounding area independently. Good to know: Thongtakian Resort does not currently list opening hours or booking details online, so prospective guests are advised to contact the property directly to check room availability and confirm current rates. Booking in advance is recommended during Koh Samui's peak season, roughly December through April, when beachfront properties fill up quickly. Those sensitive to dated bathroom fittings should be aware that some rooms retain older bathroom fixtures, though this has not detracted significantly from the overall guest experience.

Visitor Reviews
Stayed here for 4 Nights at their Superior Double room. Rooms were very spacious, just the bathroom is a bit outdated but its fine. Location is beach front , they have a beach restaurant for breakfast and lunch. For dinner there are a couple restaurants down in the main road. Wifi was decently strong connection. Service was excellent. This resort has the Silver beach, a nice little small cove beach, peaceful and nothing like beachclub vibes. Highly recommended if you want somewhere quiet. Away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended! Good value
Gracious hosts. A spotless & well-maintained resort, flanked by the magnificent Crystal Bay on either side. The resort also offered a convenient motorbike rental (~200 THB), perfect for a 20-minute ride to Chaweng at night, or just 5 minutes to the vibrant Lamai night-market for some late-night street-snacks.
I enjoyed my stay here, nice rooms, replenished towels everyday for beach and shower use and nice access to beach, scooter rental and hot showers. Rooms NEED to have shower hooks though ?? I’m surprised there are zero spots to hang towels?

Thong Nai Pan

Bottle Beach (Haad Khuat)
Bottle Beach (Haad Khuat) on Koh Phangan's north coast is the island's poster child for earned seclusion — a wide crescent of soft sand backed by jungle hills, with no road in.
