Sametnangshe Boutique sits in Takua Thung, Phang Nga, on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand. The landscape is hilly and green, with the sea and a scatter of limestone islands close by, and the appeal here is the mix of hills and water along this stretch of coast.

Several sights lie within a short distance. Beyond Skywalk Nangshi is 250 m from the hotel, and the Samet Nang She Viewpoint, 1.2 km away, is a lookout point in the countryside. Further afield, the Elephant Care Camp is 5.6 km away, and James Bond Island, 7 km away, is the limestone island in Phang Nga Bay that served as a film location for a James Bond movie. Ko Thalu Tai is one of the small islands offshore and is reached by boat.

A day could begin at the viewpoints in the hills and continue by boat to the islands, where the limestone cliffs are the main draw. Boat trips are the usual way to see the bay, and tours can be arranged through the resort. Late in the afternoon, the viewpoints are a good way to end the day, and the resort's own pool and bar make a good place to rest afterwards.
