"Seek out the taste (and scent if you light your complimentary incense) of Indo-China at this tranquil gem that recreates the elegance of 1940s and '50s colonial Asia." Full review

"Rooms are decorated in one of three styles: local, with bright colors and rattan; Chinese, in dark lacquer and soft fabrics; and Western, something a bit like a minimalist European design hotel." Full review

Regardless of which you choose, you’ll be able to see the Gulf of Thailand; some rooms have terraces with pillow-heavy hammocks, and some overlook the pool, which is a remarkably tranquil scene, especially for Koh Samui.

Prospective guests who would like to experience Thailand and its gracious charm would do better to choose Bo Phut Resort, westward along the beach.
