2min from a beautiful beach, each chalet has its own mini pool very refreshing when it’s hot. Very clean and lovely, well maintained garden. Staff friendly and accommodating. Complimentary drinks in fridge with sodas, water and beers.

I loved this part of the island. It was nice to be away from the busy side of the island but still have beautiful beaches and amazing adventures. We also loved the hospitality.

Fantastic location just a stroll away from the beach. Great little street nearby with fantastic street food (with good prices too). The private pool is sooo nice! Coffee facilities in rooms and minibar offers on your first night, this was a lovely attention. Great spot on the island far away from the buzz of the west coast, easy to ride a scoot as well. There is a real authentic feel about this part of the island and the confort of the hotel makes it the best place to stay....Not to forget the beautiful and helpful staff members...keep it that way!

The great Escape offers great and private Chalets with a big veranda and a small private Pool. The Veranda is surrounded by plants and you have a lot of privacy. The Chalets are very well equipped with real(!) Coffee and other useful stuff, games and .a TV with Amazon Prime and Netflix (in case it rains outside). We really enjoyed the stay there and will come back!

Escape!..while you can...

Set in the spacious surroundings of their lush tropical gardens, the chalets at The Great Escape offer a dramatic view of the jungle covered mountains that surround Yai Beach on Koh Phangan. Just a few metres from the beach, the garden location for these ten modern chalets offers a tranquil setting to enjoy beach days or just relax on your private veranda in a hammock. Despite being so close to the beach, dining and shopping in the local restaurants and shops is just a few moments away along the garden trails through to the main village, although you would never know it, as the privately run complex has the feel of Koh Phangan from yester year. But not inside the modern chalets, with their cool tiled floors, large bedrooms opening out onto a private veranda through sliding glass doors, an A/C in every bedroom, modern spacious bathrooms and king sized beds in some chalets. The whole mini resort is serviced with free wifi in every room and around the garden, a small shop at reception, and a friendly laid back management, who genuinely want you to enjoy your stay at one of the most beautiful beaches on the island – and one of the few beaches still untouched by big hotel tourism.

20 years in ThongNaiPan and still amazed about its beauty.....

Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai are twin coves that form a scenic double bay and are the most popular beaches in the east and sunrise side of the island. Both beaches are the image of paradise with softly curved white sand bays surrounded by mountains covered in rich tropical rainforest. The surrounding mountains make these beaches fairly inaccessible with a steep and concreted road the only overland option; though road works have commenced to make it a dual lane concrete road, another way to get to there is by boat from Had Rin or Chaloklum.

We stayed in a Deluxe chalet which was a bit small for the 4 of us. Next time will go for the bigger one but unfortunately they were fully booked on our dates. The only thing the hotel is missing is maybe a shared swimming pool.

“PERFECTION IN PARADISE”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
Absolutely nothing!!
Thong Nai Pan Hai & Noi were the only bays on KohPhanGan, Koh Tao & Samui that I hadn't explored. My purpose for this trip was to tick them off to say I'd seen the entirety of these Islands in the Gulf of Thailand so I could continue my global explorations to places I'd never seen BUT after my stay here I discovered a paradise that I just have to return to & my stay at The Great Escape Chalets was the icing on the cake! I stayed in the smallest of the chalets, it is a large, bright, light filled, spotlessly clean space with a large bathroom that has separate shower and bath tub at opposite ends of the bathroom. The spacious outdoor area that flowed out from the oversized double glass sliding doors adjoining the bedroom included a comfy large daybed, table & chairs, 2mx2m plunge pool surrounded by privacy enhancing potted palms and lush garden beds. Swinging in the hammock under the ceiling fan is bliss after a day out exploring. Perfectly located just 2 minutes walk from the main road/main street of the village/supermarkets/ shops yummy good value eateries & the most beautiful paradise of a beach. After looking at other accommodation in the neighborhood at similar prices and even those that were more expensive I can confidently say that The Great Escape Chalets are hands down superior in every way!! Nicer, cleaner, brighter, more spacious, private, peaceful. The mini bar is stocked with 5 beers, 1 x soda water, 1 x iced tea, 4 x cans of soft drink, all complimentary. They have a jug, fridge, coffee plunger, good quality complimentary coffee. They even have beach mats, board games, a little esky, a first aid kit for little mishaps (bandaids, bandages, etc). The air con is excellent & quiet, there's a quality super cooling pedestal fan. The smart TV is preloaded Netflix etc. THE STAFF ARE AWESOME!! Taxi boat to TNP Noi 100THB.

We loved everything about our stay. Great location, Excellent rooms and the perfect hosts. The beautiful beach is a 1min walk away and in the other direction a 1min walk to the village. The rooms are really well equipped with free mini bar on arrival, beach mats and games like backgammon and Jenga which we used every afternoon on our beautiful outdoor seating area overlooking our plunge pool. We felt like we were the only ones staying here as the rooms are so private! Was very suprised when we found out they were fully booked for our week. The hosts are always there with a big smile to book tours or ask any other questions. We loved our stay and would love to return one day!

Absolutely everything was fantastic about this place! The staff at reception were super friendly. The room was gorgeous with a private plunge pool, hammock and seating area on a private patio. They offer a free mini bar for the first day, beach mats, towels and board games. The room had lots of light and each chalet is surrounded by trees and plants. It was beautiful to wake up there every morning and it is so close to Thong Nai Pan beach. Amazing place!
