Nangkam Boutique Don Sak

Every room at Nangkam Boutique Don Sak has air conditioning and a balcony or terrace, along with a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, an electric kettle and free bottled water. The rooms measure from 20 m² to 50 m² and are offered with either a mountain view or a garden view. Each room is a separate space with its own private bathroom and its own balcony or terrace.

Rooms sleep up to three guests, and the garden-view room sleeps up to two. Some rooms have a sofa, and all of them come with towels and a clothes rack, so each room is equipped with the basics for a comfortable stay.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms and in the public areas, and there is free parking on site. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, and private check-in and check-out, with air conditioning in the public areas as well.

The restaurant serves Asian cuisine, Thai food and local Southern cuisine, and it is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with coffee and tea available.

The grounds include a garden and a terrace, which give guests outdoor space around the hotel. Non-smoking rooms are available for guests who prefer a smoke-free stay, and the terrace adds another place to spend time outdoors, with the rooms and the public areas both offering air conditioning.

Nangkam Boutique Don Sak is in Don Sak, a district of Surat Thani province in southern Thailand, where the working port of Donsak links the mainland with the islands of the Gulf. Surat Thani, the provincial capital, is the main town of the area, and the hotel is a practical stop for travellers heading to the islands. The surroundings are calm and shaped by the port and the sea, with the ferry piers close by.

Nangkam Beach is 400 m from the hotel, and the Raja Ferry Donsak Pier, a ferry terminal 2 km away with boats to the islands, is the main departure point nearby. The Prince of Chumphon Shrine and the White Buddha pagoda are both 2.1 km away, two local places of worship worth a visit. Surat Thani Airport is 70.4 km away by road, while Samui Airport is on Koh Samui, so using it means a boat crossing.

A simple day can start with a walk to Nangkam Beach, then continue to the shrine and the pagoda, with a car useful for reaching places further away. Free parking is available at the hotel, and the Donsak piers are the place to go for boats to the islands, though rough seas can disrupt crossings at times.
