Baan Chai Lay
Superbly located mini-resort
What we say: 
With only four beach front villas and a couple of rooms at the back, this miniature resort is probably one of the most attractive places to stay, in main because of its great location. Wedged between the larger Holiday Beach and TK Hut, many people walk right by without noticing Baan Chai Lay. The four villas are where you want to be, literally stepping out your front door onto the powdery white sand. The small restaurant serves respectable Thai food and also some Western favourites such as pizza. This resort is popular with long stay tourists and the owner (Swedish Peter) is happy to negotiate a decent monthly rate with those interested. The onsite restaurant is actually independently run by another Peter (German) and his wife, and here you can get some decent western fare such as Schnitzel, Pizza or Cordon Bleu.

Very friendly but
When we arrived they were full but Mimi got us a room next door. Price was reasonable but be forewarned, the sand flies are absolutely fierce right now. After the first day we each had over 30 bites and by the second we had over 60. Do not sit on the beach for any reason. Mimi was great and everyone is friendly but I think you may want to avoid Ko Maak all together right now. The whole island is crawling with them this year, worse than usual.

Excellent accomodation
This is a great resort that I will visit again. rooms were clean and spacious, the associated resturant is fantastic (baking there own bread and smoking there iown ham). Peter and Mimi who run the resort are wonderfully helpfull and charming and make you feel most welcome. Patrick (ireland)
