Phupha Resort

Rooms at Phupha Resort measure 16 m² and most sleep up to two guests, with one double room taking up to three. Beds include king beds, a double bed and futons, and several rooms have a balcony or terrace, air conditioning or mountain views.

Flat-screen TVs, refrigerators and blackout curtains are common across the rooms. Some rooms add a shower, a mirror or a closet, and free bottled water is provided in several of them. A free instant coffee comes with the king bed room with a mountain view, and several rooms also have clothes racks and closets, while one room has a desk and a shower in its bathroom.

The resort has a restaurant and room service, and a 24-hour front desk. Free parking is available, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

Guests can also use luggage storage and enjoy daily housekeeping, and the grounds include a garden. A concierge service, tours that can be arranged, an airport transfer and a shuttle service are also available.

The resort's own restaurant and room service mean meals are available on site, and the garden sits within the property, so guests can spend time outdoors without leaving the grounds.

Phupha Resort is in Don Sak, a district of Surat Thani province in southern Thailand, and the area is known for its ferry piers. It is a working port rather than a resort strip, with ferries running to the islands in the Gulf of Thailand. Surat Thani province is a common gateway from the mainland to Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.

The White Buddha pagoda is about 1 km from the resort, and Nangkam Beach is a similar distance away. The Donsak Seatran Station is close by for those arriving by train, and several ferry terminals are within 1.2 km. Surat Thani Airport is 69 km away on the mainland, while Samui Airport, on Koh Samui, is 43.4 km away across the water, so reaching it means a boat crossing.

A day could begin with a walk to the White Buddha pagoda, followed by a visit to Nangkam Beach and a return to the resort's garden and restaurant before dinner. For trips to the islands, the Donsak piers are the starting point, and the resort offers an airport transfer, while tours can be arranged for trips further afield. The pagoda and the beach are both reachable by road, so a day out does not need a boat.
