Beach Hotels & Resorts in Ban Phang Phrao from AU$162

"Conrad Koh Samui is an incredibly luxurious resort. Food is wonderful, amenities are great, staff are incredibly helpful, to the point of giving us a WhatsApp number to contact them for any assistance, the view is to die for and the bed is like sleeping in a cloud. Everything we asked for was granted. The area is in the quiet part of the island too, so you get a much quieter experience than staying at some of the larger resorts in the north east. The pools for the villas rival suburban backyard pools for size. I would have wished for 1 more restaurant with a different cuisine, but it's by no means a deal-breaker and I expect they may add such a thing over time. If you want a quiet, luxurious getaway, I can't recommend it enough."

"The accomodation was nice, little overpriced but pool room was nice and clean. The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to provided anything we needed. I even left some new T shirts I got from Bangkok in the room which they kindly forwarded on to me. Staff amazing, nice hotel, breakfast was good, just a little expensive. They have a happy hour on cocktails but still a little overpriced, two for the price one would be better and fairer. Great cafe across that does lovely coffee and nice food and a shop you can buy some beers from at cheap prices, location is a little remote but grew if you can hire a bike, which also available through the hotel.

"We spent a peaceful long weekend at Racha Kiri Resort & Spa Khanom, and it was an ideal escape for my mother and me. The private villas offered real privacy and comfort, with sun-lit terraces and, in our case, a relaxing pool—perfect for casual chats and slow mornings. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making every interaction warm and seamless from check-in to departure. The spa was a highlight—professional Thai-inspired treatments in a calm, soothing setting that felt like a mini retreat in itself. Dining was satisfying, with a mix of Thai and international flavors and a focus on fresh ingredients. The resort sits on a quiet stretch of Khanom Beach, so early walks at sunrise or a lazy afternoon by the water were all part of the experience. If you’re after a refined, low-key beachfront stay with spa time and a serene pace, this is a wonderful choice for a two-generation getaway. Note: it’s a bit secluded, so plan transfers and any extra excursions accordingly."

"Absolutely love this place. Beach, pool, really well designed hotel…the people, location. Not for everyone, but perfect for us."
