18 Moo.2 Aonang, 81000 Tonsai Beach, Thailand – Great location - show map

Traveler photo of Tonsai Beach by PhilStef

Switzerland · December 24, 2016

The most conventional and expensive place I stayed my entire time in Thailand. It was very clean & large. Railey is absolute gorgeous and I regret not staying here longer and less in Ao Nang, especially this area. It is separated from Railey West and East and can be difficult to get back and forth by foot, which means it was very secluded. The view from the restaurant and bar is captivating. The drinks were strong. Breakfast included.

The room was very nice and clean. The location straight on the beach is great.

Kamila, United States of America

The views were incredible. Our room was very nice, didn't use the mosquito net because we weren't sure if it was just decoration, and we never had an incident. The resort is Very chill, lots of rock climbers and hip young people. Restaurant was always good too, food was very tasty.

Elana, Canada

Beautiful rooms with nice view of greenery, great restaurant with great breakfast. Amazing people. We loved this place! We actually extended our stay!

Rocío, Argentina

The location and the staff absolutely make this place, so much so, we spent an extra 4 nights here!!

Nathan, United Kingdom

It was the best place when we consider the value for money factor during my trip in Thailand. The resort has great location, just on the beach and it is well-maintained. The rooms look new and clean and are nicely furnished. It is easy to get to it with a boat from AoNang pier. Actually this is the only good property at Tonsai (all else is scary, dirty looking bungalows) and a reommendation

Emiliya, Bulgaria

We had a bottle of mineral water every day and the breakfast was great. They were cleaning our room every day and we were close to everything.

“Nic place to get away for a few days and good value for money if you get the rooms at disounted pric”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe Double or Twin Villa
- • Stayed 5 nights
눉A few little thing's that annoyed us were not knowing the power is turned of during most of the day ie 9.30am til 5pm. That means no air conditioning in the rooms, unable to recharge phones, camera's, laptops etc. Yes a bit of planning can overcome this in most cases. The pipes for the bathroom sink leaked and, although the water ran into the shower drain, it was the first part of the bathroom that you stepped into.
눇Tonsai Bay is an ideal location to just get away from everything and unwind. Not as popular as Railay Beach but the same sort of thing...just quieter! The Resort was nice and good value for money but at the same time I wouldn't have paid more even in peak season due to reasons listed below!

눉they turn electricity off from 09.00 till 17.00 Location is very bad, you would have to go somewhere by boat to enjoy other things like a nice beach for example. The beach in this part is very dirty a lot of trash. This resort is the only resort on this beach so not much else to do. Breakfast was quite poor and when I asked for another slice of bread this wasn't possible. Most organised tours depart at 09.00 in the morning. They didn't inform us about this at the check in so there were hardly any tours available when we arrived at 10.00
눇the room was very nice and clean. The restaurant was amazing, best diner ever! Wifi in all areas of the resort

“A little slice of comfort amidst the ruggedness”

눉Bees at breakfast. And a limited brekkie selection. Otherwise all good.
눇Service staff were top notch in helping us book our boat transfers and giving us directions. The bed was comfy and room was pretty decent for the money. It is the best property on Ton Sai if you're looking to flash pack. The Ton sai experience is meant to be abit rugged and backpacker style but it's a nice treat to be comfy and still enjoy the island' beauty after a night of partying in the forest pubs/bars.

눉A little pricey, but the best option available online. The flies, so many flies all over the breakfast area. I did not see anything like that anywhere else in Thailand, which is a little unnerving.
눇The most conventional and expensive place I stayed my entire time in Thailand. It was very clean & large. Railey is absolute gorgeous and I regret not staying here longer and less in Ao Nang, especially this area.

“The ONLY beachfront lodging in Tonsai”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Superior Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The only negative was that, as some people mention, bees and flies are seriously attracted to the morning breakfast buffet. They have everything covered, but I still squeezed out a bee from the honey bottle one morning. Fun! We also got sick the night of the day we left Tonsai, but that could have been from one of the bars or restaurants in the village we ate at; can't say if the hotel or that was to blame. Tonsai has poor infrastructure, and getting ill here is common.
눇For those looking to get away from the tourist crowds and over-development of Railay Beach — but who aren't in the mood to camp out with hippy backpackers and jungle creatures in the budget accommodations of Tonsai, Tonsai Bay Resort is an incredible lodging option. As this was our delayed honeymoon trip, my husband and I weren't backpacking or staying in hostels on this particular visit to Thailand like we have in the past. However, we really wanted to stay on Tonsai as we were drawn to it's beauty, it's quirky vibes and its overall lack of major development (due mostly in part to an abandoned resort project that, while having forced the old beach businesses into the jungle, leaves Tonsai relatively untouched). Tonsai Bay Resort is the ONLY lodging option in Tonsai located immediately on the beach, and that is it's major draw. It is also the only lodging with power 24/7, which is nice if you're a climber looking to rest in the middle of the day, or if you need to relax after an early beach day. It's a convenient walk (~5 mins) to all the bars and businesses in Tonsai Village (we liked Viking Bar and Mama's Chicken the best). Access to Railay is via a 30-40 min jungle trek (for adventurous types only as it's not a developed path the entire way), by longtail, or by walking around the bay during low tide (not as difficult as some negative reviewers make it seem). A lot of negative reviews come from people who, honestly, would be better off staying in Railay — lots of complaints about the "remote" location, having to get to Tonsai by longtail boat, no major resort amenities like a pool, etc. If you're more adventurous, but would like AC and a nice shower, don't let the negative reviews dissuade you.
