The Moken Eco Village

We had a wonderful stay with the most helpful and friendly staff. Thanks especially to James for helpful tips and being who he is. The food was great and the beaches wonderful. The snorkeling was nice but the visibility varying. We would definitely come again. Thank you Moken.

You have to say about this review - if you are looking for peace and absolute solitude, this is the right place for you. Anyone else who needs luxury and a supermarket etc - please do not come to this place.A perfect beach - two offshore islands with perfect snorkeling conditions - very great original Thai food - super friendly and helpful staff (thanks James) and fantastic bungalows (the wooden ones - the bamboo ones are more for backpackers) - lots of peace and quiet and nothing going on.Pick up by boat and excursions always worked perfectly. Ok, the snorkeling trip wasn't cheap, but it was just the three of us in a perfect place without any mass tourism.The only thing that's not cool is the sand flies on the beach in the evening. But that's nature and it's just good to lubricate it with oil that you can buy at the resort.Thanks to James and his team - I had a great time with you.

This is our fourth time coming here. It is a wonderful retreat for people in need of rest. There is no music or other loud activities. …

WOW, just wow! My 6th time to Thailand over the last 27 years. Seen much change and been to some amazing places!! Moken eco lodge is an absolute jewel of a place! I can honestly say it’s probably been the top location I’ve had the good fortune of visiting! We were there 8 nights. The team could not have been more amazing. My wife managed to get an infected blister just before we arrived. Nothing was to much, they took her to the health centre each day, got us medication. James even played Dr, for Lisa!! I know Thai hospitality is amazing, but these guys go the extra distance and become friends. Amazing people, amazing location, amazing experience. thanks James, Pam, James’s Wife (Sorry, don’t think we got your name) and the whole team for such a stunning experience!! Currently en-route to Phuket. Only left a couple of hours ago. Already want to go back!

A paradise for couples as well as for families.Our family of three visited this wonderful place for the fifth time this February. The first year, our daughter was five years old and we booked a stay for five weeks at this one single place. We made this decision based on the beautiful understanding and clear responses we received via email to our innumerable questions. Still, we had some worries: would it work without a pool when our daughter yet couldn’t swim? Would our daughter eat the food? Would we start to get restless? But oh, how our decision to land at this resort for rest and adventure paid off!We didn’t miss a pool one moment. On the contrary, the place feels more restful without it. The nice long shallow sea bay is a fantastic asset for a family with children. Our daughter took her first swims between us right here. During our five stays here, with a total of 140 days, we have only been troubled by sandflies during a total of three days.And ah, the food…, the food is delicious. This restaurant has without a doubt the best and, at the same time, the most affordable food on the island. The chef, together with her team, creates amazing, tasty, and exquisitely beautiful expressions of genuine Thai cuisine. Also, you never hear a harsh or stressful word from the kitchen even when the guests are many and the orders pile up. The chef consistently creates a kind and supportive vibrations for her co-workers. The kitchen also has western dishes on the menu, and if you ask for thin "Swedish pancakes", you may have them. For the last years, we have had all our meals at their restaurant - breakfast, lunch and dinner. Actually, the food plays a large part in the kind of support and care that sustains us throughout the vacation.As for restlessness, this turned out to also not be a problem. The place invites us to find calm together with nature. We usually borrow one of the kayaks provided free of charge to go on daily small expeditions in this tropical paradise. The quiet bay is enclosed by two small islands with nice beaches, and around the islands there are easily accessible coral reefs for snorkelling (snorkelling gear is provided free of charge). The water is a little more still (smaller waves) on these beaches which allows for play and exploration, should the smaller children like that. There is also another beach to the left in the bay with long shallow water. A couple of times per stay we book an activity with the place's local guide. Safari tour, jungle trekking, visiting bat caves or boat trip to large coral reefs, to name a few. When evening and night falls, you are only surrounded with the sound of breaking waves, birds and insects. This allows for deeply restorative sleep.Regarding the label “Eco”, that is clearly not only for show. The family that owns the resort grows most of the vegetables and fruits served at the resort. They pick coconuts on the island and prepares them to get coconut milk for to boil sticky rice, and even to produce their own coconut oil which is used by the masseuse and for frying in the kitchen. They prepare their homemade tamarind sauce as well as marmalades for breakfast. They even grow and pick roses in order to make their own soap and shampoo for all the houses at the resort. This part of the island still doesn’t have electricity, but they have solar panels to give the necessary service. There are fans in the bungalows, but we never use them since the architecture allows for the soft warm wind to blow right through the house. Remarkable!Finally, it must be mentioned that the service is exceptional. The kind hearts of the owners are easily noticed. They take good care of the staff, the nature and the guests.We have already booked for the next year./ The Carlsson family

What a special place to find . So quiet and peaceful and exactly what we were looking for. The resort was ideal and so friendly. It's not often you can walk a beach and be the only ones you see on it. …

Hidden gem, many kudos to James and team for making our stay unforgettable. Recommend!

I'm soooo in loved with this resort!!!!All is so good, nice lodges and well design (even though no air con), excellent view in every moment of each day, superb hostage from all staffs. And super delicious food from the restaurant, if you are Thai pls try local menu which I love several of them like Hokkian noodle (ผัดหมี่ฮกเกี้ยน), pork stir fried with koey (หมูผัดน้ำเคย)

It was a very happy 3 days and 2 nights. Until I don't want to go home at all.I was very impressed by the quietness and tranquility. There were few people and there was privacy. During the time we went in early April, there was a cool breeze blowing all day and all night. sleeping on the porch (Crab House No. 1) Sleep soundly and comfortably with the gentle sound of waves. The sound of the wind blowing through the pine trees is calm, the mind is clear. The house is spacious, clean, good beds, good bathrooms, delicious food.The first morning, we went to see the sunrise in the Savannah field. The guide did a good job explaining, taking us bird watching, and helping to find a photo spot. You can stop wherever you want. It's fun and very impressive. After eating, taking a long nap on the terrace of the house, in the evening, watching the Andaman sunset in front of the beach at the accommodation. This is low cost happiness that everyone can truly feel. It was so beautiful that it was hard to explain. The next morning, a walk on the shady beach without anyone in the morning The beautiful sky receives the sunlight coming from the other side. Walk around and look at hermit crabs, take photos, and this evening, go jogging along the long beach with the sunset on the side.***The beach at Koh Phra Thong is not white sand, but it is clean and the water is clear*** Nature Most of the accommodations are still based on nature. Suitable for people who like peace, really come to stay, there are no beach activities. There are no beach bars, but the peace and beauty here is really nice.***The employees here are all lovely and provide good service. sent on a boat Standing and waving goodbye to each other until they were out of sight***
