In fact, I rarely write reviews of our intermediate housing. Usually hotel articles do not go to the reader’s newsletter, but simply placed imperceptibly somewhere on the back of the site purely for information. But here I could not resist. Place some kind of magic and we even a little regret that only 3 nights planned here. But okay I tell them in order, for we ended up here quite by accident.

Foreword
When we decided how to get to Krabi from Bangkok, I had an idea appeared instead of taking a plane to take a car to Daria dispelled a bit and remembered how it felt to travel. Many think that here they went to Thailand, how cool, but in fact, our life here differs slightly from Moscow in terms of rest: I am constantly working, and Daria is busy with Egor 24 hours a day. So that we have no travels here.
But just drive a car with over 800 kilometers at all unreasonably. First of all, Yegor has become quieter, but still not a gift, but secondly, every day is torn to sleep which can not be carried out in the car (Egor does not sleep in it). Hence the conclusion – we need stops, with at least two, in order to ride 250-300 km per day, no more. And then I thought, why would we not relax somewhere along the way for several days at once, for example near the national park Sam Roi Yot what is near Hua Hin. Here and the sea is, and should be quiet, since the area is not much resort, and you can go to the national park, if desire appears.
The Beach Village
Unit price
Going over options for stopping at AirBnb, I stumbled upon these apartments (almost a villa!). By and large it was not important where, most importantly on the road to Krabi and somewhere near the sea in a quiet place. Honestly, it is very interesting, you walk around the site, you look any options, ask the price—
- 1350 baht on Airbnb along with charges. This is a private 1-bedroom unit in which we lived.
- Units on RoomGuru 1750 baht for a studio, 2300 baht for 1 hip, 3500 baht for 2-bedroom. But these are already other units that he rents himself. complex. We, as I wrote, rented a unit directly from the host.

Interior
In fact, initially, we did not think that we were here like it. Well, the room is decent, well, a pool, think. Somehow we indifferent to amenities, we evaluate them only in terms of availability kitchens and places for a little boy. And yes, everything is there, except a washing machine.

Territory
In this complex several blocks, each of which 8 single-storey units under the same roof and located around the pool. There are several types of housing: studios, 1-bed room and 2-bed room. The territory is typical for resort, there is a cafe, a gym. But Only here is not quite a resort, because some apartments have their owners (in fact, we just have such a number and removed). The rest of the apartments are rented through the same RoomGuru as the hotel.

Dolphin Bay near Sam Roi Yot National Park
The area itself is very quiet and calm. Everywhere grow palm trees are rare and mostly European houses separated by rainforest. Dolphin Bay beach is deserted, no one at all! Yes, do not say that it is straight strongly Cupable and beautiful, but after the Black Sea and Pattaya beaches quite to myself, the sea and the sea. But bounty lovers will not support me, here and the shells are large, and muddy bottom, and very shallow, that is, horror-horror! In principle, for the fact that there are no people here, one can forgive him a lot. The main thing is that there is almost no human garbage, it’s already great. Only for us a minus is the lack of a developed infrastructure, although there are a couple cafes on the beach (average prices), a couple of Thai convenience stores with chips, one water mat, one laundry, and even bike rental. And so You can drive in Tesco, it is half an hour from Dolphin Bay (on the road located).

My sequel—
For the second day we are here and enjoy the tranquility. and nature. After a noisy and bustling Bangkok is just paradise! how as a person needs little to be happy, just sometimes to stay in the bosom nature and take a breather— When I recently traveled north to my mini-trip, I also check it out. It is very difficult to put into words sensations, maybe it’s not at all in a particular place, but in the fact that we picked up the rest, but once again it seems to me that man just needs to sometimes be in the lap of nature. And the essence is in nature, silence and lack of humanity, and not in the resorts with their resorts and service—

Immersion in the starry sky 
P.S. Great place to relax, have a good time. week-month and not just come see the national park Khao Sam Roi Yot, as they usually do. Recommend!
P.P.S. Chekin and checkout were very simple, they gave us at the reception the keys, and then we got them back there, and that’s all. From the minuses seen: broken hygienic shower and strange switching in the ordinary soul.
