Helen Grainger 2008-01-21 until 2008-01-25	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi Stayed for 4 night over the full moon period. We stayed in bungalow 26 closest to the beach. It was fantastic. The bungalow itself was very clean and had air conditioning and was in a traditional wooden style, surrounded by lush gardens. It was in my opinion the best type of this kind I saw when travelling as some bungalows are all concrete and tin roofs. The beach was beautiful and the surrounding village and bars perfect to expore and eat in.
Chantal Hayman 2007-12-15 until 2007-12-27	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi We stayed in this resort 3 years ago and it was fantastic.This trip we booked for 12 days.We could not stay the entire time as they were in the process of bulding new villas.The noise factor was too much. It starting at 8am in the morning to 10pm at night and the hut we were in was right next door too the frantic building.I feel that Sawadee booking service should have had a comment on there website, that there was construction so we could have made an informed choice weather to go there or not.However the staff and management of this resort are fantastic as well as the food.The huts I believe could be upgraded.The beach is fantastic and the new sun loungers and umbellas are a treat. I think it will be great when the new villas are ready and I will certainly stay there again.
Guinane 2007-03-07 until 2007-03-11	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi We booked the new island beach bungalow. the bungalow was located about 3 metres from the beach.Aircon and hot water.they were small and dark. We asked about contruction work onsite they advised no work in progress. We then found that there was contruction work in progress. Not alot noise from the contruction work.Had a bad experience with local thai men drinking alcohol in the afternoon and smashing bottles and been violent with each other.Found a Russian lady annoying as she was working as a tout and continully asking us to go on snorkling trips.Overall the resort is located at the best beach in Koh Phangan, very quite, nice gardens, restuarant had nice food, Just be careful with the seafood tho.The road from the port to the resort is about 15km and most of it is dirt road. Very dangerous on a scooter so we hired a 4x4 car for 3 days while there.advise to hire trail bike or 4x4 car due to the bad road. resort does have a taxi that runs into port town twice a day.100bt per person into town. Back to resort from town can be up to 800bt with normal taxi. best to get many people into a taxi to reduce the cost.Work was in progress on this dangerous dirt road so hopefully it will be concreted in the near future.If you are looking for a nice quite location away from the hussle and bustle we would recommend it.	no problems

sarah daniels 2007-01-20 until 2007-01-23	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi wonderful location. OUr first burri was disgusting, dark, moldy, and too small for 2 people. WE were fortunately moved to a newer location also on the beach, called beach house. It had a rat and no water pressure. The beach is the best and the rest. is great, also the staff were friendly and helpful.	sawadee has been great as we had to change hotels and they did everything for us without any effort on out part.
Michael Harvey 2006-12-15 until 2006-12-27	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi If you want to experience remote beach side living with the friendliest and most helpful staff then this is for you.Yes its rustic with a capital R and even though the place was under total reconstruction when we arrive (and will not be completed for a least 6 months)we loved it.On arrival our beach side bungalow was not available so we were upgrade to beach side house for 6 of our 10 day stay.I got to speak to The Boss who arrived from the mainland and informed him of our concern re building work ,he apologised and offered discounting off our next visit(and we will be returning) and sent a gift of wine for continued good relations,so your there its happening you enjoy or fume...we had ourselves a ball and entered into the festive spiritof xmas.The setting of the resort is right on the beach with the sound of the sea to sooth you to sleep at night and to excite you on awakening.The jungle encrouches all around and makes for that desert island feel.There is a wonderful atmosphere in the resort itself and the surrounding village.This place is not for everyone but where is?The pace of live is infectious here calm relaxing and friendly also very safe.We loved it and again extend our thanks to all the wondreful staff Cho Cucumber(Jani) Jipp Koy and Ole .We also made close friendship with our Thai massueses Not and Neung who created a beautiful xmas dinner for us and who taught my wife to drink The Bucket Thai style they were Sanung!!	Excellent
Pedro Futenma 2006-11-16 until 2006-11-22	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi So there you are, and be prepared to what you ve booked for. A very rustic, small, dark, humid, hot beachfront bure. No towels or bed sheet changes, you do the floor cleaning by yourself; if you are used to camp, this is a very comfortable room. I dont know why they named it a Resort. At moment it is under reform, a ugly scenery in the backyard. But no hard feellings, I guess we were not prepared to that. About the restaurant the comments are right - its just great and inexpensive food. The beach is fantastic!	Perfect!
Mr J Muir 2006-11-01 until 2006-11-08	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi Resort is currently under refurbishment so a lot looks like a tropical storm has recently passed through and many facilities are not available. Huts very basic and not cleaned, one redeeming feature was the restaurant where staff were courteous and food great tasting and good value for money. I was also charged at a higher rate than I was originally quoted on my departure and would ve expected some sort of discount considering the state of the resort. I wouldn t consider coming back and reckon after seeing the rate of progress the builders were making it would take at least a couple years for them to complete the redevelopment. Beach however is beautiful and a great retreat from the bustle of city life.	Very user friendly and efficient.
Charlotte 2006-08-26 until 2006-08-30	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi Fantastic!! Myself and 3 girlfriends stayed there for 4 days as part of a 2 week holiday in Thailand. Baan Panburi was by far the best accomadation we stayed in. Great value for money, a beautiful beach, 2 bars in the local village and fun and friendly staff. I would recommend it for anyone, families, couples and mates wanting to chill out. The huts were clean and tidy and the hotel food was very tasty! Get booking :)	Very good and helpful.
Paal 2006-08-20 until 2006-08-24	Baan Panburi Village, Ao Thong Nai Pan Noi We had a beachfront Bure which opened straight to the beach. Very nice! The Bure itself was far from good. Cramped room with only wooden pans which added to the somewhat claustrophobic feel of the place. The fact that the fan were to slow and the the net over the bed had dense clothing on the top (never seen that anywhere before)meant that insanely hot nights and mornings became an issue. Quite honestly, I do not see why everyone (incl.Lonely Planet) makes such a fuzz about this place. Its mediocre at its best and too expensive for what it offers.	Flawless as always
