Villa Chaya is a one of a kind guest villa in the area of Khao Lak. The impressive, temple-alike villa, was designed and built by Franky and his team in traditional Ayudhya Style. A luxurious property like this with a lush tropical garden and large pool with Jacuzzi is something you would expect from a 5 star resort. Yet, guests will enjoy the charme and tranquility of a small family business, hosting a maxium of only 14 guests. Surroundings are quiet and tranquil. Yet the villa is located only a few hundred meter walk from the most amazing Bangniang Beach (150m linear distance) and close to a plethora of shops, restaurants, traditional massages, pubs and tour counters. The local Bangniang night market is a short stroll away. Villa Chaya caters for families with children and travellers who are not willing to opt for secondbest when it comes to comfort, cleanliness, location and service during their holidays. If you wish for the luxury feel of a high end resort while enjoying a maximum of privacy that only a small family home stay venue could offer, then Villa Chaya is THE place for you! We look forward to having you as our guest! Franky and family

We live in Thailand for over 30 years now and have been living in Trang, Koh Lanta, Bangkok, Phuket and finally found my home of choice in Khao Lak in 2001. , so we know what travelling families with children need. Our passion is to bring joy to people. interesting talks with guests and friends and an open ear to their concerns and world views. We live in a fast-paced world, people are under pressure every day, at work, in traffic, in general - thus our biggest reward is to see people calm down and relax once they reside in one of our holiday resorts. Our biggest reward are the many returning guests who come back because we are able to offer what most resort owners can't due to being too big - privacy and the feeling of being home. The joy of our life are our small boys. We love them to bits, so do our friends and guests. We are just a normal family, perhaps that's the essence of our success.

Khao Lak is a place like no other and Bangniang Beach is right in the center of it. We have several national parks in the area, two waterfalls just a few minutes drive away, are surrounded by huge mountains and lush tropical forest, 20km of beaches, and the marine national parks Similan Islands and Surin Islands just a short boat ride away. The center of Khao Lak offers a large variety of shopping, restaurants, sea food, pubs, live music joints and local markets. The best however about Khao Lak is: No jet skies or dangerous and loud speed boats are allowed near the beach, no high rise buildings, no red light districts, but the feel of "true and original Thailand", something no other destination in Thailand can offer. We love Khao Lak!
