The guesthouse

Small, central, between hostel and hotel.

Laewan Guesthouse is six private rooms next door to Lavella Spa, on a busy street in Ban Tai. Two minutes to the bars across the street, five to the beach. The pier and the rest of the island: a short scooter ride away.

Between hostel and hotel: every room private with its own bathroom, smart TV, WiFi, and air-con. Daily housekeeping. Cafés on the street.

It's not a quiet hideaway. It's a comfortable base, in the middle of things.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Is breakfast included?
No. There are several cafés on the same street. Coffee, fruit bowls, eggs, Thai breakfast. Most are open from 8am.
How loud are the bars at night?
There's music from the bars across the street, especially Friday and Saturday. It tends to quiet down by 1–2am. Earplugs are in every room. We've retired the noisiest rooms from rental, so most of what's bookable is on the quieter side.
How do I get from the pier to Laewan?
It's about 3.5 km, too far to walk with luggage. A songthaew or taxi is around 5 minutes for ~100 THB. Let us know your arrival time and we can arrange pick-up.
Do you have long-stay discounts?
No. The booking page shows our best available rate, no separate long-stay deals.
Is the spa open to non-guests?
Yes. Lavella Spa is next door and welcomes walk-ins. Guests of Laewan often get a small discount, ask at the front desk.
Can I rent a scooter through you?
We don't rent ourselves but can point you to a reliable nearby place. Always wear a helmet and check the insurance on your travel policy.
How do I pay?
Card payment via Stripe, through our booking engine (Beds24). We accept cash (THB) at check-in for any extras.
