บางใหญ่ บุรี รีสอร์ท — Hotel in Surat Thani Province

From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel very welcome. I needed a Thai sim card to make calls, and Pu, the owner was more then happy to drive me to the 7-eleven to organise me a sim card. This was a great example of the kindness I was to receive many times over the course of my stay.||||The rooms were clean, and well equipped with a fridge and air conditioning.

It wasn't, it was right there on the right.||Large well kept, well laid out and clean bungalows. ||Very quiet.. Only birds and butterflies.. Lovely large garden with flowering shrubs and large trees.||Good swimming pool. Well kept. So clean the water was sparking (unlike our last hotel in Bangkok).||Owner is a lovely man, English speaking and works hard to keep the estate pretty and tidy. He built the resort for his children apparently, but they then up and went to New York to work leaving him to manage the business.||Will definitely stay there next month when we return to...
