The main entry to the villa is up three steps that lead onto a Veranda that runs the length of the villa. Through the front door you enter the open plan living area. To the left you find a relaxing lounge area with stereo system and flat screen TV. To the right is a well-equipped kitchen separated from the living area by a bar counter. The kitchen is equipped with modern cooking appliances including hotplates, microwave, fridge-freezer, coffee maker, wine cooler, toaster and cooking utensils. A full complement of crockery, glassware and cutlery is also provided.
The living area opens on to the pool deck through two sets of double doors. The 10-metre pool has bar stools at the front overlooking the sea with views to the next island of Koh Phangan. The pool deck is cooled by ceiling fans and equipped with a breakfast table and chairs and further occasional tables and chairs. A small wooden bridge over the pool leads into a spacious sea front Sala ideal for shady relaxation or alfresco dining with seating for 6 at the generous dining table.

Neighbourhood – Overview
On the ground floor Villa P3 enjoys a large open veranda area adjacent to the private pool. The beach is sandy and quiet with no mass tourism. There are 5 restaurants within easy reach; 4 are a short walk down the beach (Jun Hom, The Sea, Sunset Bar and By the Beach), a further Thai restaurant is located near the villa entrance (The Terrace). Within 1km there are convenience stores, more restaurants, bars, massage shops, spas and a gym.
The nearest centres for shopping and restaurants are about 10/15 minutes’ drive (Maenam, Bophut or Nathon). Nowhere on Samui is that far away as the island is only 20km by 25km, however, we would recommend you hire a car during your stay, if required we can arrange this for you. Driving on Samui is quite straight forward, with one major road around the island, cars are RHD - same side as UK/Australia.
Getting Around
We would recommend car hire during your stay, although it is possible to flag down the local "pick-up taxis" that frequently pass the entrance.
Should you choose to drive an international driving license should be used. International car hire companies such as Hertz and Avis are present at the airport. Banyan Villas can also arrange car hire for you.

Getting to Banyan Villas

Most visitors to Koh Samui, whether domestic or international, will reach the island by air.
Bangkok Airways own the private airport on the island and operate flights from Bangkok every thirty minutes from early morning until 9pm. With a flight time of just 45 minutes, it is but a short hop! Bangkok Airways also operate direct flights from other cities within Thailand, as well as international locations such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China. Check the schedule on Bangkok Airways website for details.
By road & ferry
If driving through Thailand then head for the small port of Donsak on the southeast coast about 70km from Surat Thani. There are two car ferry services operating from here, with crossings to/from Koh Samui every hour between dawn and dusk.
Visas
Thailand does not require visas for most European, North American, Australasian or ASEAN nationals if travelling for the purposes of tourism. It is best though to be sure and if travelling from overseas
