This hostel is by far the best one I ever stayed in. Almost everyone staying here had to extend their stay at least once, because it is just so comfortable in here. If you like hippie vibes and not so crowded beaches, Koh Phayam is really it for u. This hostel is truly a hidden gem :)) lots of love

Could hear the sound of the surf from the bungalow and I love swimming in the sea. Dining on the beach was super and the restaurant food was very good. Bungalows were comfortable and clean. The resort didn’t overwhelm the nature. The cost was a real plus; JJ’s delivered great vacation value.

What a beautiful, mostly unspoilt island, lovely beaches, jungle and no cars! Laid back atmosphere. The food was amazing, much, much better than in Koh Tao where we are now. Lovely local people. A real gem - let’s hope it doesn’t go the way of Koh Samui and Koh Tao.

The Island is incredible - beautiful, lush and lovely to explore by scootie, cycle or walking. Our fav restaurant was The Kitchen Table run by Chioko. Best brusketta and place to hang with sweet kitties and dogs. Also Flower Power has excellent Italian food. We loved our stay in Bamboo Bungalos. Can’t wait to go back! Pure heaven.

Empty wide sand beach, tranquility.
Empty wide sand beach, tranquility. It is great for people who really want to relax, great for families.
Rent a scooter to get around, if you want to explore a little more.
Kajaks are fun to have some activity.

The weather, the scenery.
The weather, the scenery. The beaches were all stunning and the sunsets at JJ Beach resort were amazing!! Plenty of good restaurants on the island. Can personally recommend Flower Power and Cha Chai Hime for vegetarian food.
All round good vibes on the island.

Phayam is a paradise of older Thailand. (No MacDonalds!!!!)
Phayam is a paradise of older Thailand. (No MacDonalds!!!!) The Thai and Burmese that live and work on the island are always friendly, helpful and HONEST. Getting around the island is easy and cheap, whether by foot, motorbike, bicycle or motorbike taxi. The food is delicious, with a variety of cuisines for those who want a change from Thai or Burmese food, many of the foodstuffs are sourced locally, including seafood caught from the sea surrounding Phayam, food and accomodation are very affordable, I have been coming to Phayam for ~ 8 years now and won’t stop.
best staff! Non and First are the most lovable people and the whole place including the bar, has an amazing and fun vibe/ atmosphere! the bar is good for food(till midday) and drinks, but you can also enjoy privacy and its not loud during the night, as the bungalows are not close to the bar! happyhour from 5pm till 7pm, good cocktails, gotta try the salty dog! when i come back, i will stay in this place the whole time (you’re lucky when you get a room, a lot of peoples wanna stay here, so book when you get the chance)
It wasn’t my first time in this place.I made booking for bungalow and villa for my friends.Unfortunatelly it were only bungalows and I had to change my choice.It was really problem for my friends, because of only cold water in shower in bungalow,so they were disappointed.It was not good option for them to stay in JJ Resort longer even we could spend more few days on Koh Phayam.I like this place and people working there are very nice too,but for staying longer I recommend to give guests option with hot water in shower.
Couldnt ask for more from Ailay. The hosts were genuinely friendly and caring, rooms got cleaned everyday, food could be delivered to the room, on a beautiful clean quite beach with coral reefs close by (they have snorkeling gear, boogie boards, kayaks and more that are free for guests to use). I have a gluten allergy and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating, never had a reaction. Hosts helped us book all our transport to our next hotel. Wonderful experience overall that made for a very relaxing getaway.
This is one of an amazing place to stay…the bungalows renovated with such a thoughtful and loving style and hand..we loved everything…gorgeous beach, amazing food….people you need to eat there…you don’t know what you are missing out!!!!!
And then the owner Toi, the loving and ever smiling Liam and all the other staff…..( we missed meeting Sam the other owner) the most humble loving grateful honest caring people you will meet♥️♥️ we will return for sure…the best start in our vacation time ever🫶🏽
The bungalow is a bit rustic as other reviews have already mentioned. However, that was not really a problem for us as this is the case for most bungalows on the island and the general vibe is very low-key. I appreciated that there was warm water and electricity without any cuts. I read it's often the case in other places. Probably the biggest adventage was excellent location, nearby best rated restaurants, bars and cafes with amazing food.
We had such a wonderful time at this beautiful little resort in a quiet spot on Ao Khao Kwai beach. Tastefully decorated bungalows and restaurant, really good food and coffee and a relaxed beachfront area. Toi and Liam were extremely friendly and helpful, all day long ready to help you with whatever needs you might have. Thank you so much to both of you and the rest of the team!
Everything about our stay was great. We stayed 4 nights, the owners and staff were lovely and friendly. Our bungalow and the hotel had places to laze and hang outside. Breakfast hit the spot. The beach was quiet and water great and the restaurants and bars along the beach were great as well. Just a great place to be based out of on the island and to go slow. Would come back!
There is swimming pool next to the beach. Good view and we can order foods from hotel’s restaurant. Foods and coffee are so delicious.
Room is not far from the beach and hotel is not far from the pier. Hotel provides car to pick up and drop off at the pier. Hotel can reserve speed boat for 600 thb per person (go and back).
Great location very close to the beach, lovely restaurant, amazingly helpful staff, bungalows are super clean and the bedding and towels smelled really fresh and clean! Our host was fantastic, always a smile, and he even gave us guests a little present for Valentines day! We would love to be back!

100% perfect location on the south end of Buffalo Bay. Only a few bungalows tucked away in the trees so never felt busy. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, surroundings immersed in nature. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and served above average food.
Friendly and helpful staff
Great location to one of the beaches
Easy to sort travel to the other main beach
Some shops and restaurants close by
Friendly cats on-site and lots of nature! Lots of butterflies, sometimes hornbills
Free transfer to the pier when leaving the property
Everything, soooo peaceful.
Before I came i read the reviews and there was one or two saying bad things?
Don't come if you're expecting 4 star hotel comforts but if you like nature and don't mind a fairly basic experience (i think you know what I mean?) You will love it x
I liked the huts that were located directly on the beach. They looked kind of cute, minimalistic but had everything we needed. Beach is amazing. Coffee in the morning at the hotel’s restaurant was amazing. I didn’t try the breakfast but it looked really good too.
I liked everything : the rooms and the hotel, in the middle of the nature, the beach was literally 5 minutes far from my room, the island is the most beautiful one I've visited in Thailand, and the owners welcomed me as if I were a member of their family !
We stayed in this charming lazy hut near the beach at Ko Phayam. The location could not be better: perfect sunsets, nice food and drinks at your sunbed and a clear sea to swim in. The people that work here are very friendly and they make your stay amazing.
Located in the middle of the jungle, this well finished bungalows are perfect for your stay in koh payam (you need a scooter though).
Staff was super helpful and friendly, the room is very nice and the bed is VERY comfortable!
Close to the pier. Perfect location for exploring the island. Host is very accommodating and will help you with anything you need. Wonderful accommodations. We will be back !
