Cheap hotels in Ban Lam Ru (1)

A hidden gem! If you want to escape the macrotourism of Thailand, this is the place. A bit more inland from the Khao Lak coast Sawasdee Homestay is a family owned business with beautiful new clean houses and all the amenities. The owners help you with your stay with practical tips to do in the area and they do their own cooking for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They speak English and French fluently. It was also possible to rent a scooter for 300 bht / 24hrs to discover the amazing nationals parks nearby. I would recommend this place to everyone!

We very much enjoyed our water front hut and the amazing view. The hut is simple but has everything we needed (especially a water cooker). The beaches are stunning and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Hard to find a place like this nowadays.

This resort was one of my favorite places I ever stayed! Situated in an extremely natural environment, the quality of the room , the services , the staff exceeded out expectations !! The beach was amazing , the pools very clean!

Tip was so kind and helpful. Also the other girls were great. Very close to the beach. Short walk to essential stores. Bed very comfy!

Small resort, villas, beach access a few feet away, pool, lovely restaurant, and gracious staff.

The private pool was amazing. Nothing like relaxing in your own pool after a hot day outside!

The location is amazing, we loved the beach and the garden. Breakfast was fantastic, the room too, pool as well. Staff was always very friendly. We will come back.

We love the romantic feel of the tents and also the mattress was the same as what we have at home wasn’t a hard normal Thai mattress It was actually a temporary mattress it was so comfortable

The room was very clean and spacious. Parking available. Very kind and friendly staff.

It was super convenient since I needed a place to crash for just one night.

really nice owner and quiet vibe

We had such a great stay here. The staff was so helpful and friendly, they made us feel like family. The room was perfect and the deck on the water was so nice. Sitting out there in the mornings with the birds chirping was very peaceful. Will definitely be staying here again.

This place was just amazing. Beautiful, private and good location. The host was exceptionally kind and responsive.

Great location and option to be on the beach, nice and quiet area out of town. They store my luggage free of charge when I went alway for a week. They let you use shower beach and all facilities if you need to wait for later transfer afrer check out. Great breakfast and nice options for food for reasonable price, massage next to the pool as well

Everything was absolutely amazing! Everyone was so friendly, attentive and helpful. Overall an amazing atmosphere. Great access to the beach for swimming. Very safe. Nice pool with a pool bar. Always enough free beds at the beach or pool with and without shade. Hammocks and swings at the beach. Spacious rooms with comfortable beds & pillows and great shower. Everything was cleaned perfectly every day. WiFi worked well. Dance and fire show program on a few days throughout the week. Aqua gym, yoga, etc. every day. Nice food at the beach bar. Lots of choices for breakfast but mostly the same every day. Not far from Khao Lak center with access to many shops and restaurant. Either a 15 min walk or 100 baht taxi ride.

The room I had was superb. So cozy, comfortable and practical, with hooks, rackings, shelves. Plenty of space to put your things. Everything was spotlessly clean. The attached bathroom had a hot shower. Everything you need was supplied. The bed was very comfortable and not hard. Comfortable duvet and pillows too. I also liked the downstairs terrace restaurant, which unfortunately closes very early, but my room had a fridge which became very useful as it was a bit of a walk to 7 eleven. Excellent WiFi which works everywhere if you just log in to the correct access point, depending on where you are. There is also some tables out on the side (DSA),where you can sit when the restaurant is closed. The bus from Phuket dropped me right outside the hotel. They can also book tours for you here at good prices.

The property is amazing with a Coconut garden homing all birds

Really good location, nice staff, good breakfast for a really cheap price. You can maintain your room at 27° all time with not electricity cut for when you arrive to rest totally rosty from the beach. Good location not noisy. Best option for few days before your liveaboard!!!

The room was very clean,big and the location was very nice.

Big rooms and excellent location. Room was clean. There was a mini fridge also, a tv and a good AC.
