Baan Ora Chon

Overall we had a lovely relaxing time with fantastically efficient and friendly staff, amazing food and a palace to play in!

This is a seriously beautiful villa with lots of space even if all four bedrooms are being used. Being just two we were incredibly spoiled and used more than one bedroom during the week, so we could get a feel of the different views and spaces. Having a deck, a really large pool area and a garden area too, before moving in to the beach, that had a hammock and private swing also, allowed us to move around the villa without really needing to go anywhere at all! The different dining areas inside upstairs and outside by the pool gives lots of options too, especially for groups and we mainly took advantage of the lovely evenings outside (sunset is a particularly lovely time). There are also ipod docks all over the house, so you can play music wherever you are and there are two TV areas with DVD players. Wifi is free and easy to access and they even have yoga mats with a number of areas perfect for practice!

Baan Ora Chorn was everything we hoped it would be and more. The pool is fantastic - and the pool bar a real treat. A truly beautiful beach on our doorstep - I couldn't believe how hot the water was! And - the staff were amazing - nothing was too much trouble.

Khun Lek is doing a very good job and everyone is friendly and attentive. Khun Ole is an amazing chef: every meal was delicious, inventive, beautifully presented. We tried to eat out in some recommended restaurants but always ended up disappointed in comparison to the quality and diversity of the Thai cuisine prepared by Khun Ole. Both Khun Lek and Khun Ole were the highlights of the trip.

What a perfect venue for a 3 day party, all together on the beach and such great sunrises .... The transformation of Baan Kilee from an established tropical paradise to a rock concert venue was quite miraculous and a testament to the imagination of the Hong Kong party team and to the delivery skills of the local event team. The detail that went into this production was amazing, from inflatable guitars, to vodka luges, choppers, lady boy shows, fire juggle r s, guitar shaped cakes - what a tough act to follow. The Band from Hong Kong quite stole the show, they are to be highly recommended - 9th State - and the stage and light show were of an amazingly professional standard. To have all our friends co-located in the wonderful beach houses, Baan Puri, Baan OraChorn and Waimari was fabulous - 80+ friends all in one place. Well done all.
