What we say:

In a garden filled with exotic fruit trees, simple wooden bungalows are offered at Elephant Garden. There are new owners now, Thai/Swedish, with the Swedish connection providing quality Snuss for those who are craving. The elevated common/living room has hammocks and cushions, a full bar, DVD movies and a play station for whiling away the rainy season hours. It comes across as a good spot to hang out and have a beer or a bite to eat, the deck providing good breeze and scenic views. Rooms are basic but clean, with fan and private shower.

Elephant Garden

A great place in the time being up until the owners LEAVE to another location out on the pier. Wil and the staff are outstanding, this place will definitely be challenged to meet the levels of accomodation that will be left behind once sold to new ownership. Stay here only if Wil is still sitting around drinking a brew waiting for you to arrive. Otherwise it's a lost cause, go find his new guesthouse out on the docks. Noone can ever make the Elephant Garden as wonderful of a place as Wil and his family and the staff that is a part of this outstanding guesthouse. Please keep in mind that by the time your arrive new owners may have taken over. And politely find where the new location is, this is a small villlage and Wil should be not hard to find. Tell him the crazy Chang man never did care what people really think, I was just a drunk funk on the dunk of a skunk not unlike a punk in the podunk lunk of a trunk riding along before my ship got sunk by the stupidity of being drunk.
