Saman Muay Thai

Muay Thai boxing gym

👍👍 Great fight training. Don't let the look turn you away, Saman and his son are pro fighters having won many titles and bouts.

The Headland

👍👍 great villa for a real relaxing time. Around are some possibilities for eating, if not ask them to take you to the market there you can buy what you like to eat. They also can prepare something for you, so you not need to go out. And this area is away from all the tourist areas, real nice and quiet.

Restaurant

😐 We came there as highly recommended by a friend. The cocktails were quite good but pricey. The vegan plates served were however failed to meet our expectations.
