Ban Keang Talea

Most welcoming spot on the beach

What we say:

Though its bungalows have the feel of national park accommodation, they're large, and rather smart in a rustic way. Rooms are simply furnished but generally comfortable, with firm mattresses and clean bathrooms. They're located on the best section of the beach, a long stretch of smooth sand between Candle Light Resort and Sang Thian. Their restaurant is well designed to take advantage of this location, with charming thatched beach huts perched over the ocean. The most pleasant spot on Ao Thian.

Quiet spot, excellent restaurant

Ao Thian is a great beach if you want to avoid the hipster scene up north. Baan Keang Talae holds the middle position of the hotels on this beach, and it was as good as we had hoped for. Lovely white sand fronting the restaurant, good swimming right off the beach (which was kept spotlessly clean). The staff was helpful and friendly, and the food was fresh, delicious and quickly delivered. Like most places on Ko Samet, this one is a bit overpriced for what you get, but that's Ko Samet.
