Baan Ja Da

Baan Ja Da is a two-bedroom villa with two bathrooms, a garden view and air conditioning, and the whole house is let to one group at a time. Tropical plants and shade trees surround the grounds, a setting for quiet mornings as well as games of badminton.

Up to four guests can stay, and the house has a kitchen with tea and coffee facilities, a fan, toiletries, towels, a flat-screen TV and a desk workspace, so there is room to work as well as to relax.

Facilities at the villa include free parking, a kitchen with tea and coffee facilities, air conditioning and a fan. The garden offers space for games such as badminton, and for yoga and meditation.

Towels, toiletries, a flat-screen TV and a desk workspace are also provided, and cleaning products are available for the house.

Baan Ja Da stands on Koh Yao Noi, a small island in Phang Nga Bay, where the pace is slow and the landscape is green, with farmland, fishing villages and quiet shores. The villages of Rim Talae and Baan Lam Sai are in the immediate area, and the setting suits those who want a calm base in the Andaman Sea.

The nearest beach is Laem Had Beach, 4 km away, and the Sor Ngam beach viewpoint is 1.6 km from the villa. Koh Yao Yai, the neighbouring island, lies 7.1 km away across the water, and Hong Island, with its lagoon, is 8.4 km away. Manoh Pier, 2.3 km away, is one of the ferry terminals close to the villa.

A day could begin with a boat trip towards Hong Island and its lagoon, then end on Laem Had Beach. The Laem Had viewpoint gives a wide view over the bay, and the sea around the villa is the setting for the boat trips that leave from the island's piers. James Bond Island, in Phang Nga Bay itself, makes a longer boat trip for a full day, and the villa's garden is a good place to rest between outings, with its shade trees and quiet corners.
