they just opened for a year, location not that great, but is a cheap hotel that you can rent motor and explore. We stayed there for the 2nights then changed to karon beach just for a change. For the same price, we came back to Phaithong for the cleaner, cozy room.
can get your free simple coffee and toast for breakfast, sometimes with banana and treats from the owner. Is a family owned hotel, we met the mom while daughter was away for few days, mom cant speak much english yet she tried her very best to help us whatever she can. Daughter can speak fluent english and chinese. You can rent motor there, or ask them to help you get you a taxi, which is the friendly good taxi driver.
