Our stay at Baan Tawan Chai was truly special. We were there for 5 days with our family (of four) visiting from the US. The property was beautiful, tasteful and stylish, immaculately clean, luxurious and at the same time homey and comfortable. The location felt secluded but was minutes away from shops and restaurants. We had spectacular views and being on the water we took gorgeous walks on the beach. As the listing states, the beach itself is not ideal for swimming but there are some amazing beaches close by that were easy accessible. Each bedroom was private and cozy, (each with its own indoor and outdoor shower). The open layout, with the central pool and inviting kitchen and living areas, naturally brought everyone together.
Hawa, the property manager, is exceptional. She immediately made us all feel at home. She gave us perfectly spot-on recommendations for local beaches, attractions, restaurants, and nightlife. She was so helpful and flexible in helping us to make plans. She also offered to arrange dinners and fun nights at home, which we didn’t have the chance to take her up on. Also, prior to arriving, the property owner Zu was extremely helpful with answering all our questions and even helped us plan some of our itinerary for places to visit (such as the elephant sanctuary) for our trip. Went far above and beyond what we have seen or experienced before at other properties.
I have stayed in 5 other properties on Koh Samui during prior trips and this one is by far my favorite! Looking forward to staying here again on our next trip back. Thank you BTC for an amazing experience!
