Grand Sea Beach Resort

The rooms at Grand Sea Beach Resort range from standard rooms of 20 m² to bungalows and sea-view rooms of 38 m², sleeping up to two or three guests depending on the type. The beds include singles, doubles, queens and kings, and the views cover the garden, the nature around the resort and the sea.

Air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and refrigerators appear in several room types, and some rooms have a private bathroom, a balcony or terrace, a mini bar or blackout curtains. The bungalows and rooms are set in gardens, with the resort's outdoor swimming pool and private beach shared by all guests.

Wok Tum is a stretch of Ko Pha-ngan's coast with small bays, a short way from Thong Sala, the island's main town. The resort sits in gardens near the bay of Ao Nai Wok, with the island's main town close by.

Nai Wok Beach is 450 m away, and the bay of Ao Nai Wok is 300 m from the resort. A Muay Thai gym called Diamond Muay Thai is nearby, and the HTMS Phangan 713 Warship Museum is a short distance away. Thong Sala has shops and restaurants, and the Ko Pha-ngan Pier, 1.3 km away, handles the ferries to other islands. The nearest airport, Samui Airport, lies across the strait on Ko Samui, 21.1 km away, and a boat is the way onto Ko Pha-ngan from there.

The bays along this stretch of coast are small and quiet, which suits a slower pace on the island. A good day here could combine the beach with lunch in Thong Sala, and in the afternoon Wat Am Pha Wan, a Buddhist temple in the area, is worth a visit. Rough seas can affect the boats during the rainy months, so it is worth keeping an eye on the sea before a day trip.
