Hornbill Hut is one of the older resorts on Koh Phayam and the bungalows reflect it’s age, this is not a criticism our room was very pleasant, clean and spacious, set among many trees which gave good shade during the day and kept the room cool. There is a lovely platform by the beach where you can watch the sunset... More

Me and my partner stayed here for 1 week and had a bamboo bungalow for 300 baht. Ko Phayam the island is absolutely beautiful, it is extremely relaxed and load back and very quiet. There are a few bungalow resorts on the beach a few bars and a dive shop. The bamboo bungalows at hornbill huts are extremely basic. We... More

My husband and I had such a good time at Hornbill Hut last month. We stayed in a hut a bit further back for one night then moved to a beachfront hut the next day. We spent 8 days in total doing far too little. Days were spent swinging in the hammock - every hut has one - walking on... More

After a bad experience with another place on the same beach (see my other review) we looked for somewhere nice, and visited every place on Ao Yai Beach. The second we walked into Hornbill Hut we knew we found what we were looking for: we were greeted with a huge smile by the guy that runs the place. He showed... More

The Staff of HB is very discreet and nice. If you are looking for silent place, where you will not have too much possibility... More

First of all: Read the review made by naomi83 - I can only add a few details. In my oppinion the restaurant was quite good at making Thai dishes and it attracted guests from all of the beach. And the restaurant serves your food on an elevated terrace at the beach (mosquito free in a combination of mosquito coils and... More

Stay away! This "hotel" is the worst i have ever been in. There are holes in the floor so lots of insects/lizards got in. We stayed for one night (we were booked in for five!) and moved to a beautiful hut 300m away (bamboo bungalows) which was paradise!
