Overview
Sustainability is the selling point here. Baan Boom Boxes presents itself as an eco-friendly resort, and the setting backs that up: it sits among greenery on the inland side of the Mae Nam district rather than on the busy beach road, with garden and mountain views from the balconies.
The communal side is simple and pleasant: an outdoor swimming pool, a sun terrace for lounging and a garden. Each room is air-conditioned and has its own bathroom, a refrigerator and a desk, so it works for a week of remote work as well as a lazy holiday.
Cycling and nature trips are part of the appeal, and the property flags both as things to do from the door.
Highlights
- Outdoor pool with a sun terrace
- Balconies looking over the garden or the hills
- Fridge and work desk in every room
- Free private parking on site
- Airport shuttle available for a fee
- Cycling and nature outings nearby
Location
The address is in Mae Nam on Samui's north coast, but the resort sits back from the shore. By the property's own figures, Santiburi Beach Resort (a landmark on Mae Nam Beach) is about 3 km away, Fisherman's Village in Bophut around 5 km and the Big Buddha roughly 10 km.
Samui International Airport is about 9 km away. With the beach a drive rather than a stroll, a scooter or car makes the most sense; the ring road links you quickly to Mae Nam village, Bophut and the pier for Koh Phangan.
Address 28, 45 moo1, Mae Nam, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani 84330, Thailand
Good to know
- Plan on transport for beach days; the sea is not on the doorstep.
- The airport shuttle is a paid extra, so arrange it in advance if you need it.
- Parking is free, which helps if you hire a car or scooter.
