카놈의 방갈로 (30m², 침실 1개, 프라이빗 욕실 1개)

this resort is great. i believe it is named after the guy who runs it - Sansuk. He is so kind and friendly, and very helpful when it comes to amenities. From what i can tell it is mainly him that looks after the place, and does a great job of it. It can be hard to locate this on apple maps/google maps. if you zoom in next to ‘Jasmine Spa and Resort Khanom’, you will find the resort is located next to this building. the rooms are spacious, complete with blackout curtains, a mini fridge, kettle and a dual coffee setup. the bathrooms are easily accessible as they are attached to each room. We were only here for 3 nights, and used it as a ‘rest break’ from backpacking so that we could build our budget back up by having a few lazy days. the town is quiet, but well within walking distance. there are multiple 7-11’s in town, the closest only a 30 minute walk away. the beach is a 10 minute walk, although tends to be quite windy and the sea was too choppy to swim, however it is a very nice beach. you may have the option of seeing one of the towns iconic pink dolphins, if you look close enough from the shore (or book a tour). there are only 150 of these rare albino indopacific humpback dolphins in the area. we were not fortunate enough to see these, however i have heard from locals that the beach next to Donsak Raja Pier - only 22km away and the main access point for koh samui and koh pha-ngan - is a much better place to look for these rarities. all in all this was a great place to stop off, and impressed us more than our accommodation on Koh Pha-ngan.
