Chomjan Hostel
A hostel on Koh Phayam, the island off Ranong province, with dormitory beds, fan and air-conditioned rooms, a shared kitchen and Ao Mae Mai Beach a short walk away.
Chomjan Hostel is a 2-star hostel on Koh Phayam, the island off Ranong province in southern Thailand, with dormitory beds and rooms with fans or air conditioning. Ao Mae Mai Beach is 200 m away, and the Koh Phayam Pier, the island's ferry terminal, is also 200 m from the hostel, so both the sand and the boats are a short walk away.
The rooms run from a bunk-bed dormitory with a shared bathroom to a fan room with a sea view and a mixed dormitory with a beach view. Guests can cook in the shared kitchen, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.
The island is reached by boat rather than by road, so the last part of the journey is by sea. Within a short walk you will find Chedi Loi Nam Beach and the Bot Klang Thale pagoda, while the Hin Talu viewpoint is a little farther off.

Location & what to see
Chomjan Hostel is in the village of Ao Mae Mai on Koh Phayam, an island in the Andaman Sea off the coast of Ranong province. The village itself is 100 m away, and the beach and the ferry pier are close together in this part of the island. It is a quiet place, with the sea close at hand. The island has no road link to the mainland, so it is reached by boat.
The beaches of Ao Mae Mai and Chedi Loi Nam are both close to the hostel, and the Bot Klang Thale pagoda is 700 m away. Further afield, the Hin Talu viewpoint is 1.9 km from the hostel, and the beaches of Ao Muk, Ao Hin Khao and Ao Khao Kwai are all within a few kilometres of the hostel.
