When I was planning and dreaming about Thailand, this is the place I always pictured. Koh Phayam is a little island in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Thailand near the southern tip of Myanmar.
Getting there: Traveling from Bangkok to Koh Phayam, we took a minibus to the airport, Nok Air local plane to port city of Ranong, Pon's Place minibus to town, speedboat to Koh Phayam. Got off the speedboat, walked down the pier, turned left and walked about 5 minutes to the end of the road to Sabai Sabai.
Sabai Sabai is funky, rustic laid-back paradise. Dreaming of a hut on the beach in exotic lands? This is it. This is a place just to 'be'. Everything complicated fades away and it's all about the simple things. Hammocks, naps, swimming, great food, and a drink.
Not everything is perfect. The beds are hard, garbage washes up on the beach, the bungalows a little too rustic, the shower is just a drip, they are way behind on maintenance, etc., but if you can let go of those things, it's a beach bum dream come true.
