Mai
Pen Rai Bungalows, Than Sadet Beach
We loved it. The perfect place to go and totally chill. The secluded
beach was clean & the water was clear. The rooms were basic and simple
with character. The food was good and very cheap. The place has such
character and the staff were fantastic. It feels like a little community.
We were free to relax in our own way. The electricity was hit or miss
and there was no hot water but who needs hot water when it 37 degrees?
This place is literally 40 mins in 4x4 to nearest town. You need to
take everything you need with you because there s nothing there....at
all! We have been to many places all over the world. We think this
place is our favourite. We shall certainly be returning to Mai Pen
Rai. |

Mai Pen Rai Bungalows, Than Sadet Beach
Our stay at Than Sadet Mai Pen Rai Bungalows fullfilled more than
we ever dreamt about. Spectacular nature wild location on this former
pirat island where you almost can sence the spirit of history since
goods greation. Wawes hammering on the rocks and sandy beach with
a true King Kong jungle in the back makes this spot on earth beyond
believe. Perfect creative hippieinspired and cheep bungalows build
as a tribute to the sorrounding nature. Great restaurants with relaxed
atmosphere and excellent cheep food makes it even better. Mai Pen
Rai supports ideas of life and living with business as a necessity
- but not the primary option for its excistence. May this dream last
forever. Tom, Majbrit, Amanda and Caroline. Copenhagen DK |

Mai Pen Rai Bungalows, Than Sadet Beach
We had a wonderful stay even though the weather was pretty wild.Than
Sadet still maintains it s magical away from it all feel.Our bungalow
was clean and waterproof!!! it was a truly fantastic experience for
our 2 small children and the food was still the best in thailand.It
was very sad to see how trashed Haadrin has become but be assured
Mai Pen Rai still maintains that true magic that is. Thailand |

Mai Pen Rai Bungalows, Than Sadet Beach
A quite spectacular and amazing place to go! We had a bungalow on
the rocks (cheap!) , which really was an experience (especially the
bathroom..)! Fantastic view! The beach is also very nice with (sometimes)
strong waves! Fun to swim! The restaurant was ok but we preferred
the one on the top with that fantastic view!! A very relaxing atmosphere
everywhere ( but nothing for people who need luxus..) |

Mai Pen Rai Bungalows, Than Sadet Beach
Mai Pen Rai is located on Haad Sadet on the east coast of Koh Phangan.
The road is long and rough to get there, but once there the bungalows
and the beach are amazing. The waves were very strong and very fun
when I was there. The bay is beautiful, as is situated perfectly to
catch an idyllic sunrise. We stayed on a bungalow on the rocks, and
it was amazing. The natural breeze we got cooled us at night, and
the sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks below were awesome.
The view from our bungalow was great and relaxing, and the other bungalows
looked great as well. There are 3 restaurants on the beach, but we
only tried the one at Mai Pen Rai. The food was good. Not the best,
but certainly not bad. The lassis are amazing! Mai Pen Rai is also
located near the Than Sadet (or Sadej) waterfall, which is a really
nice hike and waterfall which has several natural pools for a fresh
water dip. If you stay here, plan to stay put, as there is only one
daily taxi provided by the resort at 10:00AM, and hiring any other
ride (to or from) will cost you 800 baht or more. |

Mai Pen Rai Bungalows, Than Sadet Beach
I really enjoyed my stay at Mai Pen Rai Bungalows. It was the most
relaxing place I had ever been to, exactly what I needed :) The staff
are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble (hence the no problem
). The food is fantastic and so are the cocktails! The huts were just
like they were pictured on the net, and also what I expected. We didn
t have hot water, no problem, who needs hot water on a hot day! The
views from the bungalows are amazing and the balcony hammocks are
just the thing for an afternoon nap, that's of course if you wake
up from the lunch time siesta on the mats in the restaurant. We met
some great people from all over the world during our stay, everyone
who stays there seems to have the same desire to just chill out. We
went via the long boat to the full moon party, which just added to
the adventure! We partied hard and drank way too many buckets (my
German friend did warn me to pace myself...ha I am an Aussie I know
how to drink....not...should have listened to you yoyo). The guys
on the boat made sure that everyone that went there got home safely
to the bungalows (thanks to whoever got me out of the hammock and
pointed me in the direction of my bungalow). If you are after a ritzy
five star resort, then go to one. If you are after some chill out
time with a friendly, no problem attitude then this is the place to
stay! |

Mai Pen Rai Bungalows, Than Sadet Beach
E UN POSTO MOLTO ALTERNATIVO.PERO E MOLTO LONTANO DA HAAD RIN... CIRCA
40 MINUTI DI JEEP..IMPOSSIBILE AFFITTARE UN MOTORINO, PER VIA DELLA
STRADA CHE E PERICOLOSISSIMA..LA TRATTA CON LA JEPP E COSTOSA RISPETTO
AD ALTRE LOCALITA DELL ISOLA..PERO E UN POSTO VERAMENTE AFFASCINANTE
I BUNGALOWS SONO SPAZIOSI E SPARTANI ,PER GENTE CHE AMA L AVVENTURA
COME ME SONO L IDEALE..IL REGGAE BAR E CARINISSIMO E L IDEALE PER
RILASSARSI LA SERA..ANCHE XCHE DI ALTRO NN C E NIENTE DA FARE..IL
PERSONALE E DISPONIBILE E VELOCE E SI MANGIA MOLTO BENE..LO CONSIGLIO
A CHI AMA L AVVENTURA E IL RELAX COMPLETO.I BUNGALOW SULLE ROCCIE
SONO L IDEALE. |

We felt that Mai Pen Rai misrepresented itself online. It says that
it is a short taxi ride away from the Full Moon Party, which it is
defintely NOT! More like a forty minute haul and expensive to get
there. Once you are there, there is nowhere to go, so be prepared
to stay put. Also they should let you know about the 1pm taxi service
from the pier so that you don t spend tons of money trying to get
out there on your own. |
