Ban Kunlaya Homestay

Kayaking through the coconut grove was the highlight for me, especially in the morning or evening. Bring mosquito repellent. The place feels like a real homestay, with a private room and small yard, a friendly owner who'll chat with you, and enough privacy to relax. Little Bear is a welcoming host and guide, and you can contact the owner, Khun Poot, through Line. The food is good and reasonably priced. I especially liked the huge tom yum with mixed seafood, particularly the pork and chicken, and the papaya salad with two chilies, good shrimp, peanuts, and papaya. Breakfast's omelet was good too, and the butter on the bread was excellent. The room was clean and had the basic amenities, and there's parking on the property. I chose this place at random after seeing positive reviews, and it turned out even better than I expected.
