Guest review: “Stayed at Wang’s place with two friends and was blown away by how nice it was! Before arriving Wang was a great communicator, responding quickly but even better he took the time to give us really detailed tips for things to do in Bangkok and useful apps and numbers to have which was a lifesaver! The apartment itself was awesome, very very clean and with great storage and amenities, very cozy and the rooftop was much larger and lovelier and evening expected! It’s located on a calm alley which was nice for walking or catching a taxi outside of the hustle and bustle of the Main Street- there are many great Korean places just a minute walk away, and Terminal 12 is just a few minutes walk as well as the ASOK station. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Bangkok, and have only good things to say about it- highly recommend! :)” – Emma

The staff is onsite daily and they are wonderful. They are friendly and very accommodating. You literally walk out of the room onto the beach. It is perfectly placed on the street. Close to one of the less populated ends. When the weekend market rolls in you have a great starting place. You are steps away from food, shopping, and scooter rental. This place is the best place I have ever stayed in.” – Derek

This is by far and away the best Airbnb property that we have stayed in. The photos look fabulous but don’t let them fool you. The reality is that the place is better than the photos. Lots of little touches that make a holiday special and make you want to return ( which we fully intend to ). On top of that Stuart and Aa could not have been better hosts. From day 1 when our daughter contacted them and asked that they provide some little surprises and they took the time to go out shopping and lay it all out, to our last day when having a late evening flight they allowed us to stay in the villa all day. I fully expected to pay extra for this but Stuart refused to charge us. Stuart and Aa a thousand thanks for a great stay and we look forward to seeing you next year.” – Joe and Margaret

The service was extremely good. Ian organised an airport pick up and drop off between Krabi and Koh Lanta. Luk took us around the villa and explained everything thoroughly. They provided a phone with Luk’s and Ian’s phone numbers, including a number for a taxi. Bau (taxi driver) was always available whenever we needed a ride to the town (around a 5 to 10 minute drive from the villa). The two ladies who work for Luk and Ian were also lovely. We organised a private long tail boat through Ian and it was the best decision ever! Overall it was one of the best experiences we’ve had. A wonderful stay! Kulraya is a little hidden gem!” – Nish

Mu Ko Ang Thong Park: Semi-private Sunset Cruise Tour
“Avoid the crowds on this relaxing sailing cruise aboard a luxurious yacht to the limestone islands of Mu Ko Ang Thong Marine Park. Enjoy snorkeling at the best spot in the park, climb to the Emerald Lake and admire a beautiful sunset.”
Price: From $165 USD (8.5 hours)
Review: “A really great trip, long, but because you can move around on the boat and change places, you can also relax. The snorkeling was on a very nice island with nice corals and lots of fish and sea urchins. The kayak tour with a visit to a great lagoon was a mega experience. The climb to the viewpoint was also very nice. But at the end of the day you are done … take something warm for the evening return. A really great and different experience than taking the speedboat to a crowded island and snorkeling in cloudy waters.” – Antje
