Welcome to Green Wood Bungalows

Green Wood Bungalows is a small friendly Thai/English family run resort with only five small bungalows and one beach front two bedroom villa. On Baan Plai Laem beach is where we are almost hidden,just off the beaten track.

We have four beach bungalows(4.5m x 4.5m) each with a double bed and one deluxe bungalow(5m x 5m).All have hot water and a western toilet, all with fan some with aircon and all are within sight of the sea.

We also have a beachfront villa(16m x 7m) fully furnished with traditional Thai furniture with two aircon bedrooms(4.5m x 3.5m) and ensuite bathrooms and a large living area, TV, DVD and fridge as well as kitchenette and unspoilt view from the large covered terrace.

We have a Thai thatched beach bar and restaurant directly on the calm coral waters and white sandy west facing beach. Where we have a fantastic range of home cooked Thai and western dishes. Here at G.W.B you will be given a warm welcome and have a chance to recharge you batteries and have a relaxing time on this peaceful and tranquil beach.

We have great views of Koh Phangan to the right and the Big Buddah to the left all with amazing sunsets behind Ang Thong the national marine park.

GWB is located about half way along the 2 km white sandy beach and the calm coral water of Ban Plai Laem on the north east coast corner of Koh Samui. On Baan Plai Leam beach there are no large hotels or large resorts,at the moment.It is like almost having and being on your own private clear empty beach. With the occasional thai fisherman and the odd tourist BPL beach is a lovely quiet chilled place to be. We are only 5 mins from the airport,15 mins from the main entertainment centre of Chawang beach and only 10 mins from many restaurants and bars at the Bophut fisherman village.

There are small local shops within walking distance and several bars and restaurants a slightly further walk away down by the Big Buddha and Plai Laem Temples.

We think our traditional small bungalows are the perfect accommodation for the young at heart and older style travelers. Who like us are trying to keep a little piece of Samui like the way it was. This is the place to book and stay if you are the kind of person who isn't afraid of being a short way off the beaten track(500 meters to local shop and 1km to 7-11 shop which is open 24hours,down the beach and turn left!) directly on the beach, not too close to civilization but then only a short ride to all the western trappings of modern Samui.

Not far away are the Big Buddha temple and closer still the Plai Laem temple, both soothing places to visit. Opposite lies the small island of Koh Som easily accessible by kayak. BPL beach is not deep enough to allow jet skis and speedboats to come into, so the quiet and tranquility remains just like Samui used to be. When the tide is in its a nice beach to swim, maximum of 2 meters deep with no large waves or strong currents. When the tide is out its a good beach for walking and tanning.

We can arrange taxis, cars or bike rentals for you and can help to book any tours or tickets that you may require, including diving trips, padi diving courses,
snorkeling and kayaking day trips to Ang Thong or Koh Tao, Living Thailand half/full day trip, full moon party speedboat tickets, seatran ferry tickets,
day spa and anything else we can try to help you with.
We look forward to helping you have a great holiday.
The place to chill and relax, to chillax
