PingChan Koh Phangan Beachfront Resort

Beautiful, excellent breakfast, friendly staff

Our time at Pingchan Bungalows in Koh Phangan was nothing short of amazing—we only wish we had stayed longer than four days! Nestled on the stunning Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach, this hidden gem is the perfect retreat for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. Waking up to the sight of soft white sand and the soothing sound of waves was pure bliss. Our beachfront bungalow was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with air conditioning, a fridge, mosquito net, a cozy bed, Netflix, and private daybeds on both the patio and the beach. The property itself is one of the best on the beach, featuring a central location, a lovely pool, and a fantastic beachfront massage spot right next door. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, and there were plenty of local restaurants and beach bars within walking distance. For even more dining options, we enjoyed taking a quick bike ride to Thong Nai Pan Noi, which had a wider selection of great restaurants. Our only suggestion would be for the hotel to renovate the beachfront restaurant, as it has incredible potential. Currently, there’s no lunch or dinner service, but adding a beach bar for sunset drinks would make it even more special. If you’re looking for a tranquil, rejuvenating escape, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice resort right by the beach. We had a bungalow first row with beautiful wiew to the sea. Calm erea. The room was nice. But the price was high compared with the fascilities on the resort. The breakfast was quite plane with not to many things to choose from, and was lasting only to 09.30 am. The pool was small with few beds next to it. And the resorts restaurant and bar closed at 5.30 pm, which was way to early. (But there are many other restaurants around).

This is the best place to stay on the beach by far. The nicest place we stayed our whole time in Thailand. We were almost crying when we had to leave. Best shower, best location. I use these kinds of reviews to make my booking decisions.

Outstanding experience. Location: Perfectly located in a peaceful area directly to a beautiful beach. Small village with necessarities and some cozy restaurants on the beach. Service: The best about this stay was the friendliness of the staff who did everythinhg to ensure service. Extremely kind and helpful. Reception organized tours, tickets, transfers in a helpful way for a good price (same as best price on the street). Cleaning: Room was spotless and cleaned daily, well timed when we were for breakfast Bungalows: We stayed in third row which is fine if you can live without the seaview from your bed or balcony. Still only a few steps from the beach. Front row has their own sunbeds in front of the bungalow. But beach is kept free from sunbeds which is good to maintain the “natural look” so this is a main benefit for front row bungalows. Breakfast: Really nice idea, you fill out a order on paper and they serve it in portions at your table. Very friendly efficient staff. And happy to add / refill. Good quality. And very good coffee. Pool area: Nice and peaceful with sunbeds. Pool seemed cooled to perfect temperature. Bungalows: Spacious with good size bed and space for everything. Safe, closets, desk, electricity, very nice balcony, fridge, aircon. Western toilet and shower. This is not a international 5-star resort standard, but local cozy Thai of very high standard. Highly recommended.
