If they hadnt charged me for
Pros:

It is close to the beach and its the cheapest accomodation you can find in Tonsai

Cons:

The staff was more or less friendly but then one morining they came to my room and jailed at me because i had clothes and climbing gear on another bed (i was packing and i was alone in the room so i was taking lots of space to be honest). They charged 200 bath for using another bed even if i explained that i was trying to fit everything in my backpack so that was the reason for me having my clothes and climbing gear all around the room. Also remember There is no light between 6 pm -4 am

Pros:

What made this place special is the family running it — warm, welcoming, the kind of hosts that make you feel like a guest, not a customer.
This is a basic place, and I mean that with full respect. Come here to slow down and disappear for a while. The nature is alive around you. Monkeys wander through regularly. The place is cut off from urban infrastructure, which comes with some limitations. Electricity runs on a generator — evenings only, off by 4-5am. But honestly, that's a great trigger to put the phone down and just be.
Not a fancy place. But if you're after atmosphere and local hospitality — this is the spot.

Cons:

Could be hot in low season. And a few extra hammocks in the common area would have been a lovely touch.

Pure Tonsai vibe
Pros:

Good place where to stay in tonsai. Meeting other travelers and climbers was nice. It keeps the essence of Tonsai alive and the staff was really nice

Cons:

The only thing I think could be improved would be ac in the rooms

Good location but very basic facilities that felt dirty.
Pros:

Good location and not too expensive for area as you can easily walk to Tonsai and Railay Beach.
Near quite a few restaurants.

Cons:

There was no electricity during the day from 6am to 6pm, meaning the fan didn’t work, so our room became really hot. Therefore, we had to avoid accommodation during the day. On the listing the rooms show nets over the beds, however we did not have these and the staff stated there was not nets over beds in any rooms. On our first night we had a bug infestation, including flies, mosquitoes and bugs on the floor. They were in both the bathroom and bedroom (including in our bed). It was awful (this is the room with an Italian flag on the door for anyone wondering). We’re okay with a few insects and geckos but this was awful. Thankfully the host let us change rooms, but there was still no net over the bed and the facilities were basic. We will not be staying here again.
