Baan I Talay @ Chumphon

The employ was not talking English at all so it was difficult to have some information. The location and the hotel was great.

Near by the pier. 5 mins walk. Clean room Simple breakfast Large bed From Chumphon airport to the hotel, 200baths per person by Lomprayah taxi service.( approx 1 hour travel)

We arrived after 21:00 since our flight has been delayed. When we arrived at the hotel, nobody was there at the reception. We and another couple waited someone coming and tried to find someone, but we could not.( there was NOBODY even other guests)I found a note at the reception something with thai and a phone number. My husband tried calling that number and finally a lady showed up to let us check in. I wish there was an even simple English note that could help us what to do and find it easily.. There was no place to eat and shops, so better to get some snacks before you travel to the hotel.

The room was clean. The owner knew I would check in late and was waiting for me to open the room. She had also set up early breakfast with local food before I took the ferry. Nice beach.

The pillows were very big and I could not catch much sleep. I arrived at 19:00 and when I asked the owner where to have some dinner she friendly said “eat tomorrow”. Eventually the people at the minimart helped me to find a beach 7km away (sai re) Had nice food there. It’s a very isolated location with a couple of guest houses. No one speaks English well. Had my own scooter but it’s hard to go anywhere else.

5 minutes walking to the pier to go to ko tao. Breakfast possible before departure boat 7am. Comfortable and large bed.

Bathroom may need a renovation.
