Baan Tawan Chai is a relaxed and comfortable villa located on the tranquil south coast beach of Laem Set. The walled property is comprised of three pavilions set around a central area, facing great views across the gardens and swimming pool to the beach and sea beyond.

The focal point of Baan Tawan Chai is the blue-tiled swimming pool at the centre of the garden, with an integrated Jacuzzi. Small wooden decks protrude from the sand-wash pool deck, with sun-loungers and parasols. Adjacent to the pool is an open-sided sala pavilion, furnished with teak armchairs and a chaise-longue, facing the sea views. Two paths of stepping stones lead across the open lawn to a gate opening onto the beach.

The air-conditioned main living room is a detached building behind the pool, which includes a comfortable lounge, dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen. With vaulted wooden beamed ceilings, and foldaway glass doors, the living area opens onto the garden. An al-fresco dining set and outdoor BBQ kitchen are arranged on the adjacent patio.

On either side of the pool are the sleeping pavilions, each with 2 en-suite double bedrooms with indoor-outdoor bathrooms. To the right of the pool, at the beach side of the sleeping pavilion, is an air-conditioned lounge/TV den, with foldaway glass doors facing the sea. On the opposite side of the pool, the 2 further bedrooms are a double, and the master bedroom, which features glass doors opening onto a patio with outdoor seating, a lounge area, and a larger bathroom that includes a tub. All of the bedrooms are individually air-conditioned, with ceiling fans.

The expansive beachfront garden is enclosed by a natural screening of planted bamboo which provides privacy without compromising the views. The beach is quiet and secluded, and the location is an ideal getaway, far from the madding crowds. To the left of the beach is a peninsula of stunning natural rock formations that further protects the privacy of the shallow bay.
