Brassiere Cozy Beach — Hotel in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province

Well, here is the deal with Brassiere. As many have noted, it's a gorgeously located place, a plaster-white neo moorish house with little villas nestled among gardens and under a huge limestone karst. The staff are very nice, very obliging in that inimitable and lovable Thai way, and at night the beach is so beautiful - empty and calm in its little bay with the islands just offshore.However, you need wheels ; without them you will be seriously at a loose end. You can drive a "motocy" along the beach to the tarmac road that wends its way across the estuary and into the village. With this short cut, it's not too far. Sam Roi You is a beautiful and mystical area and the back roads are worth exploring. There are also some excellent restaurants nearish by, like Ba Ing and Boutique Farming ( at the weekend ) and you need a motorbike to get to them. But what about the Brassiere's, you ask? Ah, well here we come to the problems. The quirkiness that delights you at first glance quickly turns to a kind of somber amazement at how badly run the hotel actually is. The rooms : none of them have curtains or blinds or shutters. So, that's great if you like getting up at 5 am every day but aside from that they hung bright electric lamps in the trees around you so in fact the room is bright enough to read a book in all night long, or most are anyway. Our first night we managed to sleep for about three hours and were also devoured by mosquitoes. We dragged ourselves shattered to breakfast and asked - my girlfriend is Thai and I speak as well - if this light-box-as-hotel-room-filled-with-mozzies was some kind of sadistic policy. They smiled. The rooms have outdoor bathrooms with tepid shower heads and virtually no comforts. Think hostel rooms with nice little arty touches ( which I actually found charming ). The minibars are located thoughtfully right next to the toilet and contain precisely nothing except two bottles of water. Well, you're not there for a room are you? Well, at $150 a pop you actually are. So on to breakfast : ok coffee, nice bread and very good bio-tasting jam, all of which was pleasantly surprising. Beyond that, an omelette, a different fresh juice every day ( no, you can't have orange juice if we made pineapple juice today! ) and some congee. You won't be writing tripadvisor raves about the food. The second night we transferred, with our puppy, to a different and slightly darker room armed with repellant and got in a solid 5 hours before the dawn sun blasted into our dreams and woke us to military schedule hours. I rushed down to the sea ready to hurl myself in but it was wavy and lo, I spotted the hotel pool. It was boxed in entirely by a strange and impenetrable hedge and was scummed with months' worth of dead leaves. Maybe not, then. Baffled, I retreated to the room and had a cold outdoor shower instead. It was bracing. Later that night we couldn't get any internet and I wandered the hotel at 8 pm looking for staff - a vain pursuit since it was as if they had all walked off into the night and wouldn't be back till the next day. I actually found that quite charming too. I'm tough that way. But the Thai other half was scandalized by the decrepitude. No matter, the place is quite popular ( I imagine ) with cultured hi-so types who are ready to ignore these weirdnesses in order to be out of a corporate box and in a wild setting. Alas, the Hansar has opened next door, a blazing oasis of corporate brightness and creature comforts, and the Brassiere might be finding its bra themes and little bra keys wearing a little thin. In a way, it'a shame. Eccentricity should be rewarded. But only if you can actually sleep and if someone can be bothered to clean the pool...

If you’re looking for a charming, artsy, and peaceful beachfront escape — Brassiere Cozy Beach is your place. Located just steps from the sea, this boutique-style stay offers a unique mix of vintage French-inspired decor, cozy vibes, and stunning natural surroundings.||The room was airy and full of character, with high white wooden ceilings, patterned tiles, and touches of soft vintage elegance.

Absolutely love this place! Warning, tho, for those who wishes to have be more active than zoning out or sitting at the beach; you won’t find much here. As a serene destination for chilling out, the place is unparalleled. It id a beautiful and very much untouched as a beach destination in Thailand. While there isn’t much to do; the place is totally peaceful and is a true hidden gem.

The resort itself is old but is in decent shape. The body of staff member is small but are very friendly and attentive. This includes the doggies who live on the property! They guard us and keep us company while my group was there. Only adds to the stay at this place.

The two downsides I would point out are the toilet and the mosquitos. The Bikini’s bathroom needs a better maintenance. We had to change room in the dead of night, and the overnight staff help us get moved immediately which is a very good solution on their part. The mosquitos here, strangely enough, are active during dawn and dusk. There were no mosquito during the night, which I find weird. The resort provides repellent in each room and is happy to provide whenever asked so it is forgivable. Overall, the downsides are well-handled by the resort and so we felt we were well taken care of, in...
