Aforetime House @ Samui

Taling Ngam Beach

Taling Ngam Beach is a few steps from the hostel, while Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks is 14 km from the property. The nearest airport is Samui International Airport, 28 km from Aforetime House @ Samui. Had such a nice time at Aforetime. All the staff are so nice and the atmosphere is very chill. It’s a social hostel if you want it to be and also a great place to be your self.

The property is around 1.5 km from Chaweng Noi Beach, 5.3 km from Fisherman Village and 7.6 km from Big Buddha.

The owner(DK mama as we called her), she was so caring,helpful and super funny at the same time, literally made me feel like I was home while staying there. And the location was fantastic as well, a few minutes walk to Chawang beach and with 7-11 and many street vendors nearby, easily one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in Thailand! If you ever decide to visit Koh Samui, highly recommend staying at this hotel! DK1’s the best!

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe

Koh Samui

Chill Inn Lamai Hostel & Beach Cafe features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Koh Samui. 500 metres from Rocky's Beach and 1.3 km from Natien Beach, the property provides a bar and a private beach area. The accommodation offers nightclub and free WiFi throughout the property. I can’t say enough good things about Chill Inn Lamai. They have bike rentals right on the property so getting around is a breeze for travellers, the facilities are clean comfortable and cold in the summer heat. Lamai Beach brings the most laid back of travellers and the bar and surrounding area on the property are both beautiful and comfortable. The staff are super happy and extremely helpful. Tours, hotel transfers and rides around Koh Samui are all available in the main office and the food available is wonderful along with 20% off of cocktails for guests. I have stayed here 2 times over my visit to Thailand and I had gone through a traumatic experience on Koh Samui off of the property. While I was in the hospital the manager Rob and staff helped me out as much as possible by helping me book rooms, watching my bag for me while I was in the hospital and always helping me with my bags. Chill in has been the best hostel I have stayed in for a laid back, comfortable backpacking experience. If you’re tired of the hustle and bustle of beautiful Thailand Chill Inn Lamai is the place for you to sit back, relax and paddleboard or kayak on the ocean with the equipment freely available. Thanks Rob and Team for ensuring my stay at Chill Inn Lamai was wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to staying with you in the future!
