Aforetime House @ Samui

Taling Ngam Beach

Taling Ngam Beach is a few steps from the hostel, while Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks is 14 km from the property. The nearest airport is Samui International Airport, 28 km from Aforetime House @ Samui. This hostel is more of a home than a casual place to stay. The family behind the business are very wonderful people, and go above and beyond to make your stay is as comfortable as possible. This is the best hostel I've been able to stay at.

Perfect from the start to the end of your stay. He comes directly to the pier and takes you through your accommodation and does the same when you leave, free of charge. He is always available to give you advice and help, always smiling. This guy is a legend! I wish you the best for the future, thank you again my friend!

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe

Koh Samui

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Koh Samui. 500 metres from Rocky's Beach and 1.3 km from Natien Beach, the property provides a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation offers nightclub and free WiFi throughout the property. I can’t say enough good things about Chill Inn Lamai. They have bike rentals right on the property so getting around is a breeze for travellers, the facilities are clean comfortable and cold in the summer heat. Lamai Beach brings the most laid back of travellers and the bar and surrounding area on the property are both beautiful and comfortable. The staff are super happy and extremely helpful. Tours, hotel transfers and rides around Koh Samui are all available in the main office and the food available is wonderful along with 20% off of cocktails for guests. I have stayed here 2 times over my visit to Thailand and I had gone through a traumatic experience on Koh Samui off of the property. While I was in the hospital the manager Rob and staff helped me out as much as possible by helping me book rooms, watching my bag for me while I was in the hospital and always helping me with my bags. Chill in has been the best hostel I have stayed in for a laid back, comfortable backpacking experience. If you’re tired of the hustle and bustle of beautiful Thailand Chill Inn Lamai is the place for you to sit back, relax and paddleboard or kayak on the ocean with the equipment freely available. Thanks Rob and Team for ensuring my stay at Chill Inn Lamai was wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to staying with you in the future!
