Mandalai  

In the sleepy fishing village of Chaloklum on Koh Phangan's north shore, a beachfront boutique hotel sits steps from white-sand beaches and crystal-clear water. Minutes from Haad Thong Lang Beach, Koh Ma, Ban Chalok Beach and Haad Khom Beach, with the island’s famous Half and Full Moon Parties a short ride away.

Laid-back luxury meets simple, contemporary design across just 12 air-conditioned rooms. Rooms feature refrigerators, cable TV and private showers, plus safes, complimentary bottled water, daily housekeeping and toiletries; some rates can include breakfast for two.

Relax in an outdoor pool and step straight onto unspoilt sands and sea-breeze mornings. The property is fully serviced and lists island activities nearby, with complimentary wireless internet throughout the grounds.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Breakfast can be included for two and is served at approved village spots, one directly opposite the hotel. Chaloklum also has excellent cafes and restaurants serving meals all day and plenty of local Thai flavors to sample.
