We absolutely loved our stay here! From the front desk, staff to the shuttle drivers to the housekeeping staff as well as the breakfast crew, we couldn’t have asked for better people!!

Everyone was just so friendly and helpful and there when we needed them. We felt very cared for, attended to and safe.

The rooms were very spacious and absolutely beautiful. The beds were super comfortable and the outdoor shower was a really nice surprise. The air-conditioning worked well and the pillows were amazing. The showers always had hot water and the room was set up so you got to go to sleep to the sea and wake up to the sea!!

The beach chairs and the little couch outside so that we could have a nap outside and the little table and chairs were so nice so we could have a morning coffee there and listen to the waves.

We loved that you could just walk down the beach with your bare feet and your bathing suit on and choose any of them many restaurants to eat at. And they were all so good. Also rate on the beach is a little supermarket with ATM so it’s really handy if you need anything

It was an absolute perfect day and we would highly recommend to anyone and we are also coming back for sure

Our time at Pingchan Bungalows in Koh Phangan was nothing short of amazing—we only wish we had stayed longer than four days! Nestled on the stunning Thong Nai Pan Yai Beach, this hidden gem is the perfect retreat for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.
Waking up to the sight of soft white sand and the soothing sound of waves was pure bliss. Our beachfront bungalow was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with air conditioning, a fridge, mosquito net, a cozy bed, Netflix, and private daybeds on both the patio and the beach. The property itself is one of the best on the beach, featuring a central location, a lovely pool, and a fantastic beachfront massage spot right next door. Breakfast was simple but satisfying, and there were plenty of local restaurants and beach bars within walking distance. For even more dining options, we enjoyed taking a quick bike ride to Thong Nai Pan Noi, which had a wider selection of great restaurants.
Our only suggestion would be for the hotel to renovate the beachfront restaurant, as it has incredible potential. Currently, there’s no lunch or dinner service, but adding a beach bar for sunset drinks would make it even more special.
If you’re looking for a tranquil, rejuvenating escape, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back!

Best Spot By Far

This is the best place to stay on the beach by far. The nicest place we stayed our whole time in Thailand. We were almost crying when we had to leave. Best shower, best location. I use these kinds of reviews to make my booking decisions.

We loved our stay at Pingchan Hotel. We were a family of four staying in a beach front villa, after a week in a big hotel on Koh Samui. We wanted to get away from the big tourism of Samui and Pingchan and Thong Nai Pan Beach really delivered! Such an amazing setting, quiet, beach shack bars, beautiful clear water and fine sand and it certainly felt a little off the beaten track. The room was comfortable with all necessary amenities, some areas like the outdoor shower looking a little tired and in need of maintenance, but overall wonderful. Pool to ourselves most of the time, with an amazing jungle backdrop on one side and sea on the other!

Everything was perfect. Comfortable bed in a lovely room in the most beautiful location. Perfect for a quiet getaway with a stunning unspoilt and un-touristy beach just steps away from your door. The service was second to none, special mention for Ken who went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Food was lovely. We can’t wait to stay here again in the future.

Definitely stay here!

We are a family of 4 that stayed for 4 nights, it was amazing! Just walk up and down the beach to choose from different restaurants and activities. In town (5 minute walk) was street food, small bars, scooter rentals, and everything you need.
The staff are so helpful and friendly. My daughter was seasick from the ferry ride and vomited on her blanket. They rushed a laundry order for me so she could have her blanket back to sleep with that night.
I would absolutely stay here over and over again.

Nice resort in quiet part of the island.

Family stay in a nice location on a beach that due to the time of the year was mostly empty. The resort was also empty other then our family (three bungalows) there was o my another family for the whole week.
Breakfast was lovely although the food ordering system is little but odd. You are allowed to order up to 5 items per person but you can ask for me you serving of these items (you can order plate of fried rice for yourself but ask for three serving of it).
The other odd thing was that upon our departure in the reception we have been “presented” with the soap dispenser which we accidentally broke (and advise reception at the time) and was told that they will not charge us for it breaking it as curtesy.
The pool is lovely and clean and the room are spacious (a specially the double one) and cleaned and organised beautifully daily.

Overpriced mediocre 2.5-star hotel

Extremely Overpriced. We paid around 100 USD (3300 BAHT) per night and expected much higher standards. The pool was tiny and very dirty, the breakfast was a-la-carte (not buffet) and the food was extremely mediocre.
Location was not good - almost no nice restaurants around it. Looked like a deserted village

Could / Should be 5* but doesn't quite make it

Love this beach, love the location - but for the prices charged they don't quite make 5 stars. Partially they just need to get the design slightly better - finishing touches in the rooms let them down, and the atmosphere in the bar / restaurant in the evenings make this one of the less appealing places to eat and drink on the beach, but there are heaps of good options near by. This is more frustrating as the food is actually pretty good. More importantly the staff are really nice but let the hotel down slightly due to an overly penny pinching attitude. Being warned that they don't want to charge for lost keys but will have to on arrival felt vaguely threatening. Having paid a substantial sum for two rooms for a week to be held at reception when we were due to leave while they ascertained that we had left the requisite 4 beach towels in the rooms seemed unnecessary. Cleaning staff keen not to clean rooms if possible. The breakfast ordering system, with accompanying request not to order more than we would eat so the hotel doesn't have any waste - while perfectly fair in sentiment was also just a bit penny pinching. These are minor grumbles and the management (who are really nice) could fix at not significant cost, but they just add up to making it not quite the experience to match the prices charged. Wish I could give them the full 5 stars.

Great location

The Pingchan is definitely the nicest hotel on this beach. It is a short walk to various restaurants and shops; no need for any transportation once you get there. If you are looking for a place with night life this is not the right place, but if you are looking for a laid back place to relax you can't go wrong with the Pingchan. Definitely recommend upgrading to the first row beachfront bungalows.

Dejlig, rolig atmosfære

Vi havde et rigtig dejligt ophold på Pingchan med vores 8 mdr. gamle baby. Her var så dejligt roligt og ingen høj musik som på mange andre hoteller. Ofte havde vi poolen helt for os selv. Hotellet er ideelt, hvis man trænger til at komme helt ned i tempo.

Morgenmaden fungerer sådan, at man udfylder en seddel med, hvad man vil have. Det fungerer rigtig fint og er meget lækkert.

Der er ikke aftensmad på hotellet, men der er rig mulighed for at spise på restauranter nede på stranden og oppe i byen få minutters gang fra hotellet. I byen findes alt, hvad man skal bruge.

Eneste minus er, at hotellets babyhøjstole kraftigt trænger til en udskiftning.

Nice hotel but a bit pricy

Nice resort right by the beach. We had a bungalow first row with beautiful wiew to the sea. Calm erea. The room was nice.
But the price was high compared with the fascilities on the resort.
The breakfast was quite plane with not to many things to choose from, and was lasting only to 09.30 am.
The pool was small with few beds next to it.
And the resorts restaurant and bar closed at 5.30 pm, which was way to early. (But there are many other restaurants around).

Really enjoyed our stay.

Outstanding experience.
Location: Perfectly located in a peaceful area directly to a beautiful beach. Small village with necessarities and some cozy restaurants on the beach.

Service: The best about this stay was the friendliness of the staff who did everythinhg to ensure service. Extremely kind and helpful. Reception organized tours, tickets, transfers in a helpful way for a good price (same as best price on the street).
Cleaning: Room was spotless and cleaned daily, well timed when we were for breakfast
Bungalows: We stayed in third row which is fine if you can live without the seaview from your bed or balcony. Still only a few steps from the beach. Front row has their own sunbeds in front of the bungalow. But beach is kept free from sunbeds which is good to maintain the “natural look” so this is a main benefit for front row bungalows.
Breakfast: Really nice idea, you fill out a order on paper and they serve it in portions at your table. Very friendly efficient staff. And happy to add / refill. Good quality. And very good coffee.
Pool area: Nice and peaceful with sunbeds. Pool seemed cooled to perfect temperature.
Bungalows: Spacious with good size bed and space for everything. Safe, closets, desk, electricity, very nice balcony, fridge, aircon. Western toilet and shower.
This is not a international 5-star resort standard, but local cozy Thai of very high standard.
Highly recommended.
