  Description

  This is a new work-in-progress villa homestay on a small island of Koh Phayam, Thailand. We are planning to create a place where families, couples and groups of people can come on weekend trips and vacation time with a type of atmosphere of "home away from home". We are located on top of a mountain with a magnificent view of the sea and jungle. Surrounded by nature, cashew nut trees, banana trees and with hornbills and eagles flying around. We have both sunrise & sunset views of the villa. We are still in the developing process and we need handy people to extend parts of the villa - construction work, decoration jobs, gardening. We have several guest rooms, kitchen & bathroom on each floor, nice outdoor kitchen, sundeck, basketball court, a garden, parking space, workshop with all kind of tools.

  What else ...

  Koh Phayam is a small island in the south of Thailand with only motorbike roads and little shops. It takes 35 minutes by speed boat from Ranong pier. Forested hills of Ko Phayam are a habitat of monkeys, wild animals and a variety of birds like Hornbill and Sea Eagle. At the south end of Buffalo Bay is a small sea gypsy settlement.
  
  This gorgeous little island is truly the undiscovered pearl of the Andaman Sea with long white sandy beaches, clear blue sea, coral reefs, it's the perfect place to really get away from it all. The two main bays are Aow Yai , the sunset bay, and Aow Khao Kwai - ( Buffalo bay ).Both bays have long curving white sandy beaches. If you get bored of the beach life then there's always the inland experience. Ko Phayam island has lots of good mini hikes into the hills, forests and jungle.
