Thailife Homestay Resort & Spa

We stayed for four nights in the Thai Life homestay in a Dusita Villa overlooking the central lake. The villa itself was roomy and well equipped with a firm king sized bed, air conditioning, a kettle and microwave oven. The windows all had insect screens. The shower was outside in a private enclosure. One of the best features was a large veranda looking out over the lake. Ours faced west so caught the sun in the evening. We could watch the fish jumping and cormorants diving. There was a great sense of peace. We were given bicycles to use round the site at no charge and there are mopeds to hire . A good breakfast is served in a central covered area. The cooked element changed every day but always offered a choice of western or Thai dishes. The beach was a few minutes away by bicycle along a well lit track. The resort offers a free shuttle to the beach for those who don't want to cycle. They have a beach bar for lunch and evening meals and a massage station. There is a nightly buffet option but we preferred to eat a la carte. There is a reasonable choice of western and Thai dishes at fair prices considering that you are still in the resort. The beach itself is pretty low key and empty. It slopes gently and would be suitable for children but there is no lifeguard. There are a few other eating places nearby. Overall this is a low key calm beach resort that doesn't try too hard. It is a good choice for those who want a secluded beach and a restful environment.
