Makmai Villa  

On Mae-Rum-Peung beach in Rayong — about two hours from Bangkok. This beach hotel sits steps from Khao Laem Ya–Mu Ko Samet National Park and is minutes from Mae Rumphung Beach, Ao Prao Beach and Ban Phe Pier; Utapao Airport is roughly 66 km away.

Think chilled Thai beach-house energy with a holiday-home vibe. The property has 50 air-conditioned rooms with private balconies, refrigerators, satellite TV, complimentary bottled water and daily housekeeping.

Swim in the outdoor pool (and an indoor pool is also listed), lounge on the terrace or wander the garden. On-site perks include barbecue grills, a banquet hall, bicycles for rent, karaoke and complimentary Wi‑Fi — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and kick back after a day on the sand.

Useful for work or events: a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, dry cleaning/laundry, luggage storage and free self-parking are available onsite.

Room service is offered during limited hours and there’s a barbecue area for casual beachside meals.
