I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Phayam Friends. The serene location right on the beach offered amazing views and a tranquil atmosphere. While the bungalows were quite basic and could use a few more amenities, the very nice food and attentive service made up for it. The friendly couple managing the place really made me feel at home, but the occasional mosquito could be a nuisance.
