Gajapuri Resort + Spa

Serene class

No pic at the moment -- Sorry!

What we say:

Gaja Puri translates to Elephant City in ancient Sanskrit, but we didn't see any evidence of elephants here. What we did discover was a stylish, elegant, boutique like retreat which is a welcome addition to a now dated region of the island. Whilst Khlong Prao and White Sand beach have seen a boom in new developments, the majority of Kai Bae's players have been here for years, slowly updating their resorts as the years go by. This is perhaps the first sign of things to come, with gorgeous rooms crafted out of solid teak, very Thai yet at the same time modern, with flat screen TV's, swanky cable and DVD receivers, and a mini-bar in which the drinks are free! Not only that, from 4pm until 7pm residents receive an elongated sunset drinking session, also for free. The pool is divine, but then if you have one of the awesome pool villas you can just use your own, in the privacy of your own gated yard, before stepping into the whirlpool tub in the huge bathroom. Prices include breakfast, but unfortunately they don't include the spa facilities. The list of treatments is endless, starting from around 600 baht for 60 minutes. If you like the resort atmosphere then this place may be too quiet for you but for those looking for a chic getaway... look no further. The one gripe is that the beach here isn't wonderful, the sand a touch gritty as it's close to a headland. A hundred metres further up the beach it improves.

Just awesome

Since we decided we would indulge our last days on Ko Chang in luxury, we couldn't have picked a better place. Just really relaxing, nice atmosphere, tasteful bungalows, great service. The resort isn't that big which really enhances the intimacy of your stay. We enjoyed the pool, dvd corner, the beach, the music, the food, the bungalow ... Heck, we enjoyed everything ...
