    Description

    Hi, my name is Chiyoko; a Japanese lady and I have been living on Koh Phayam (Phayam Island) for 27 years. Koh Payam is located on the west coast of Thailand, off the coast of Ranong province facing the Andaman sea.

    My business is located only 400 metres from a pristine beach which offers surfing, fishing, snorkeling as well as many great places to eat and socialize. It is also the ideal location to watch the beautiful sunsets each evening, obviously I give you free time to do this as well.

    My business consists of our new restaurant, 3 bungalows and gardens which need to be maintained

    I also have 9 cats, 5 dogs and 30 chickens so hopefully you are like me, an animal lover !!!!
