Amazing location central Thong Nai Pan Noi beach”
thong nai pan noi is a most beautiful place, well worth the drive or boatride if you want to stay and relax and enjoy the surrounding area. phuwadee sits right in the middle of the beach, with beach dining in the restaurant which serves very tasty food, the pad thai was very good. the pool is smallish but you dont need it as the ocean is deep enough and clean enough to swim in which is wonderful. given the price paid, our room was very good - spacious, all the mod cons, airconditioner, fridge, safetybox etc - a nice verandah in the garden with butterflies everywhere and a view down the path to the ocean. the village is lovely - get your minimart supplies from snoop shop, the rasta baby has great views from the hammocks and the luna has beautiful french cuisine, the orange duck was delicious. we enjoyed our stay and will return to thong nai pan noi - seeing that the pool is not necessary we may look at cheaper accommodation or we could go the other way and splurge at santhiya or others, but phuwadee is good middle of the range accommodation.

A little bit of heaven”
I have now been to Phuwadee three times and I love love love it. It is like a little bit of heaven - quiet, peaceful with the most beautiful beach and it's excellent value for money. The rooms are clean and air conditioned. They are cleaned daily with new towels every day. Beach towels are also available. Sunbeds are provided and there is never a problem getting one. It's only a short walk to the 'town' which has shops and restaurants. Bamboo Hut, Jip Shop and Mrs Handsome, amongst others, all do gorgeous food and Rasta Baby is brilliant for a drink (or food). I have now been there once on my own, once with my husband and once with a friend and I've felt comfortable each time. Probably wouldn't go with young children (although people do) as there's not much for them to do apart from the beach and pool. Jet skiing is available and PADI instruction. Also boats to Bottle Beach and Koh Samui leave from Thong Nai Pan Noi beach. I love this place and will probably go back, even though I keep saying I need to see more of the world!

Lovely tropical escape:)”
Perfect for those who don’t mind the quietness, for those who want to run away from the crowd and enjoy their own paradise:) The beach looks stunning, though the waves are sometimes too harsh for swimming, be careful! Otherwise it’s very clean and almost empty for you to feel like you’re on a private tropical island. The sand is beautifully tiny and pleasant to walk on, the bottom of the sea is perfectly safe, no corals. When it was too windy we would easily walk to the neighbouring Tong Nai Pan Yai beach – not as pretty, but without waves. The hotel itself is amazingly cosy and has everything one might need, the quality is great for this price! The reception closes at 9 and the stuff is sometimes sleepy or just absent, but all in all nice, friendly and laid back. We absolutely loved the massage service by the beach, thank you so much for an hour in heaven – must try! The pool is pretty, the breakfasts are sufficient and well made (though not a buffet – just several sets for you to choose, including a fried egg, an omelette, muesli, chicken soup, and other stuff like toasts, fruits and juice – makes you feel full for the rest of the day). The room was nicely cleaned every day, the beds were comfy (though there were no blanket covers – just two sheets and a blanket in between:) The bathroom and everything else was working perfectly well. We did feel like home and fell in love with this quiet paradise island. All in all, this resort is great for a budget hotel, we would recommend it to friends.

OK Budget Option on the beach”
Considering the high priced international resorts around, Phuwadee is still afordable Thai option and I would recommend it for a budget stay in Thong Nai Pan Noi, although the value for the money was probably the worst of my Thailand holiday. The main argument is the location directly at the beach, which is quiet, idyllic and good to swim - much nicer then Yai btw. The Budget-Bungalows could be great with a bit maintainance, especially the windows lack cleaning and leave wide cracks for bugs and mosquitos, which is a big downside for me: New windows or at least a mosquito net over the bed would have risen my rating dramatically. Besides their good but pricy Pizza, the food in the village is better and cheaper (around "Bamboo") Their Taxi-service for 200/300 Baht to Thongsala is great. Although the streets are really good now, it would be quite a long ride by motorbike. Better change money elsewhere, there is no bank at this beach, just shops doing change and ATM's.

Great location right on the beach”
you find everything from shaky to swanky on thong nai pan noi. phuadee is middle of the road. we had a comfy stay. convenient since it is right on the beach and a five minute walk from the centre of town where there are restaurants and drinking places to go out at night. i recommend coming back by the beach at night to avoid the puddles on the access road which gets quite muddy after the rain. i have really enjoyed the pool as well, which i had to myself most of the time. the staff is very friendly.

a nice place”
basically, as the first time travller to koh-phangan, we booked this hotel. when we get there, there is no pick up, need to get a taxi will 200B/person and 1 hour drive up and down in the mountain on the muddy road to get to this hotel, which is totally the otherside of the island from the very pier, thong sala. nice beach, quiet, but every expensive compare to other option near haad rin or haad salad beach. a bit too "not busy". good place for a bigger budget holiday.

Affordable by the beach”
One of the few places left with cheap bungalows. Thong Nai Pan Noi has been taken over by expensive resorts an this spot is perfect for the traveller on a budget who likes a little privacy.

Good location, relaxing”
We loved our stay at Phuwadee Resort. We arrived a day late but we were informed that we could still stay for 3 nights if we wished which was a lovely suprise. The staff could have been more helpful at times, not very helpful with internet and also threw a strop when we asked to swap our towels as it was after 5pm, also charged me 20baht for a local call which I thought was very steep?! The beach makes this resort, the best beach and sea we have been to on our travels. Nice and peaceful location but difficult to access anything outside of the resort. Local shops and restaurants close by. Lovely swimming pool. Advised to get air con room as we had fan room which was unbearably hot.

Puwadee Resort, Koh Phangnan”
Judging by some of the other resorts that are on thong nai paan noi beach i would say that puwadee resort and spa is one of the older accomodation options. My room was clean and spacious but the front door had a huge gap at the top and cracks in the door were filled with tissue paper! The staff were helpful with all questions and the gardens were well maintained. Overall not a bad option for the medium price ranged air-conditioned rooms.

A pleasant surprise! ”
My friend and I only chose this place because it was on of the only hotels that would allow single night bookings during the Full Moon Party and it was cheap. To my pleasant surprise, the place was great! The food at the restaurant was delicious, it was right on the beach, the pool was nice and clean, there was a little Thai massage hut, the list goes on & on. The only negative about the hotel was its location if you are planning on going to the Full Moon Party. It is about a 25 minute ride from the Haad Rin area, but the hotel provides 2 shuttles at a fixed price at 8pm and 10pm. Every taxi/tuk tuk/truck you take on Koh Phagnan will be a bit of a rip off in comparison to the rest of the places in Thailand, but that is because it is a tourist destination and so you have no choice but to pay a bit more. Overall, the stay was great and I would definitely go back, but maybe not during the Full Moon Party next time. ;)

Right on the beach!”
The room with just the fan at this time was too hot for me. We later got a room with a conditioner and it was too cold for my wife. soo take it as you will. we have lots of experience with buying beer at the hotels bar and 2 times they cheated me. First they were telling me the beer was 100 baht. I thought "okay its a bar to a hotel". then i found out for that time it was 80 baht. they didn't give me my 20 baht back. and another time i went and this little guy thought he would be sneaky and i ask "how much" he said, "110 baht". i'm not quick to anger buy i did want to punch him in the face. that was the most negative experience. everything else was great. we sat on the beach all day and relaxed. the hotel is about 5-10 minute walk to the "shopping center" which isn't much. but there are restaurants there with good and really cheap food. do not plan to spend money on souvenirs there because it is all over priced. wait until your in bangkok. the hotel room is clean but i would recommend putting the room cleaning sign on your door handle everyday. if you are scared of frogs, toads, snakes, bats, or little lizards i dont know what to tell you. i'm not a small guy but we saw a toad the size of my fist on our deck, a snake "running" up a tree in front of my deck, and lizards in my room. i dont have a problem with them. but i should mention it. last but not least bring bug spray. this hotel does try to spray from misquotes but they find their way back. its not the hotels fault. so buy some bug spray (it saved my life more than once). the hotel is very nice and quiet. the pool is small but it is nice to swim in it when it is late and your feeling to lazy to walk to the beach. the massage crew there is excellent. if you will go to the full moon party (we honestly hated when all the young kids came). dont worry. they will all leave. but you must sit on the beach to see the moon rise. i've never seen anything like it. beautiful!!! (about 7:30 to 8:00).

Fantastic! Look no further”
We stayed for 5 nights in a garden suite. The is not really much difference between the garden fan and garden suite other then AC. The Bungalows are nice, clean, and comfortable with a bar fridge that is stock at reasonable prices. The Restaurant has good food at a fair prices as well plus you can get a candle light table right on the beach. Lots of choices to please everyone. The pool is OK but we did not use it once as we went to the great beach. Not a busy area of the Island so it was nice to relax in piece.Easier to reach by taxi boat then car. Heads up Agodas web page indicates a Jacuzzi but when I asked the front desk they said that there was know. Also the "Spa" is simply a beach hut and only massages are offered at the resort. All in all a great place to stay will recommend

Another great stay at Phuwadee, I have stayed here several times over the last 10 years. The rooms are good value on what is now an expensive beach to stay at.

Great beach, too far from full moon ”
Loved the hotel itself. We were a couple going to Phangan for mainly the full moon party, but the location of this resort was far from ideal for that purpose. Luckily the resort offered a taxi service there and back which was very convenient and lovely to come home to a nice quiet place. It's on the Far north east side of the island and from the ferry pier was $1500 baht. About 45 minutes from Haad Rin. Beautiful beach, great clean rooms, comfortable beds and had AC. The pool was decent size as well. The pizza was the best thing on the menu but there are a couple other great restaurants close by. If you're looking to get to the quiet side of the island this is wonderful.

Out of the way, but lovely”
Our second stay at Phuwadee for the full moon party, the hotel is completely out of the centre - but perfect place to recharge the batteries after Samui! There is plenty of shops and restaurants in walking distance. Cons - The shower is absolutely shocking!

Amazing location!!!”
Absolutely the most gorgeous beach on Koh Phangan. I fell in love here, it's busy enough but not too busy. Really nice and relaxing and easy to enjoy just beach lounging and enjoying the sun. Glad we found this little gem of a beach. Would go back to this place for sure!! Worth the trek across the island.

Great hotel right on the beach”
For the price I paid, i thought that this place represented great value for money. It is on the same beach (which is open to the public) as a very expensive 5 star hotel. There is a great pool although not much shade there but umbrellas & sunbeds are provided free of charge on the beach. My deal included a free breakfast which was also good value. I would recommend it.

Clean rooms with direct access to a great beach”
The Phuwadee Resort is situated out of phangan, about 45 mins drive to the north of the phangan main stretch. There was no little restaurants or 7-11's outside the resort and so you either had to walk 20 mins to the nearest restaurant or catch a tuk tuk so if you couldn't be bothered doing this. The compulsory new year gala dinner seriously overpriced and is not good value.
