About the Thapwarin Resort

Thapwarin is a bungalow complex located on the northern part of Koh Ngai's main beach, right next to Coco Cottage. The beach huts are situated directly on the sand, while others are set back among the trees, creating a feeling of being both in the jungle and by the sea. Regular guests report that the rooms have been renovated and are now better protected against insects than before.

The hotel is run as an eco-hotel and is committed to protecting the island's hornbills, mangroves, and seagrass meadows. Hornbills can often be seen in the surrounding trees. The reef in front of the resort is excellent for snorkeling, kayaks are available for rent, and you should keep an eye on your restaurant bill. The sand disappears from this stretch of beach at high tide, so walking south along the beach is easiest at low tide.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
