An Experience We Will Never Forget
if you want an experience away from the beaten path, where you can relax and enjoy southern thailand for all its natural and cultural beauty, this is the place.
though it may be surrounded by up and coming resorts on one side, and a small thai village on the other, pawapi does a great job of bridging the gap between the two. the rooms and facilities are clean, comfortable and have unparalleled views, while the staff is made up of local hard-working thais who themselves are from koh muk island. you can still hear the call to prayer from the local mosque as you relax on your porch, and you can visit the local village store for extra supplies or a traditional 'roti' pancake by just a five minute walk from your bungalow.
the andaman sea is literally right outside your front door, with huge tide changes, which affords you with great opportunities to swim and to explore the shells and starfish that make up the shallow emerald seas.
the food menu is largely based upon what is available daily, though if you have the opportunity to snag the massaman curry, it alone will make your trip worthwhile. for explorers there are affordable local excursions available with flexible plans to fit anyone's taste (everyone in my family was pleased with our half-day adventure).
i hesitate to even write this review, as i want to keep pawapi all to myself. but the truth is, pawapi is a warm-hearted, locally-concious wonder in a sea of over-indulgent mega-resorts, and it deserves all the praise it should get.
