Sansuko Ville Bungalow Resort

Very comfortable double bed and a lovely hot shower whenever either was needed. Semi-private patio/balcony area, ideal for reading a book or simply contemplating life :-) It is very peaceful and relaxing with its own pool and the "locals" are very friendly as one would expect in a rural setting in Thailand. When I was there (October 2018) for 3 weeks, there was new management with grand ideas for the future, which I hope they manage to do without taking away the simple charm of Sansuko Ville. This property is located in a small, predominantly Muslim village called Klong Mu Dong, within walking distance of many local amenities, and certainly 10-30km away from the hustle and bustle of Phuket Old Town or Patong. Well worth hiring a car if you wish to travel, although there are Scooters onsite for hire at a very reasonable 2-300 Thai Baht per day. I travelled as a single person, but there was no issue with me bringing back a new friend to stay overnight or for breakfast in the morning. Room cleaning is 24/7 and all dependent on when (or if) you bother to leave the room. I doubt if I have spelt their names correctly, but Tukta the Manager/Owner is very accommodating ie should you wish a bottle of beer with breakfast :-) or stay up all night until the early hours of the morning talking and drinking. Nam and Li are the two lovely ladies who serve the beer, clean your rooms and generally help make your stay as relaxing as possible!!

It was the rainy season when I was there, so an essential piece of kit is Fly Spray!! Absolutely nothing the property management can do v nature itself, but useful nonetheless!!

Couldn’t fault the Bungalows or staff. All was great. Pool was a nice addition too.

A little bit out of the way of places and need a bike to get around.

Sansuko has a good feel to it. The room is spacious and the bed very comfortable. The pool is also good. It allows for you to experience the real Thailand because it is located in a Thai neighborhood. Having explored the area thoroughly here are the top things we found. Number 5 is a good option. 1: The beach with a restaurant & bar and massage huts. Turn right at the little giraffe statue on the mountain road and you can use that beach if getting something from the bar or restaurant. 2: There is a local non tourist Thai restaurant next to the 7/11 which is front of the river. The fried noodles and Pad Thai is so good! 3: Sawasdi Restaurants number 1 and 2. Number 2 has live music. 4: Panwa Cafe has great breakfast! 5: There is a pier close to Sansuko that has a ferry to Phi Phi Don Island. Take the ferry with an open return ticket. It is 800 baht return. Stay on Phi Phi Don and walk through the cutest little streets at night and eat good food. Get a long tail boat for 1500 baht for 3 hours for 2 people and go and explore Phi Phi Ley island and see the beautiful lagoon and Maya Bay (if open) etc.

Owner, Bobbi, is absolutely fantastic and helped us to better arrange our trips and the overal stay. I loved the bar that is available on the site. Pan and other staff have been really great to us and the option to be driven to local beaches and sights was one of the best features. We also celebrated a birthday of another visitor with local Thai grill party, which was memorable and delicious experience.

That I could not stay longer.
