Great place to stay. The owner couldn't do enough for everyone who stayed there. The room we stayed in was quite new and still needed some work but other than that was very good. Would recommend this place to anyone as long as they are happy to use a scooter as the resort is located in the jungle.
Phangan Farm Stay
About
Phangan Farm Stay was previously called Palida Resort. It is located in the jungle to the north of the main road. It is next to a lake. It is a quiet spot. The resort has cheap bungalows, rooms and a family room. The resort has a swimming pool, a restaurant, and is one of the few places where you can go fresh water fishing in Koh Phangan.
Accommodation
Phangan Farm Stay has one bed chalets for 500 Thai Baht. There are twin rooms for the same price. The superior chalets are still just fan but also have wifi and satellite TV. The deluxe family room has 1 single and 2 double beds as well as a kitchenette and TV. Again no air-con. Family rooms start at 700 Thai Baht.
Many of the bungalows or 'chalets' look a little worn and old. It is curious that the management have switched from A/C dorms to battered fan bungalows.
Hostel Facilities
Phangan Farm Stay has plenty of room to walk around and enjoy the nature of the interior of the island. They rent mountain bikes as well as motorbikes.
The rooms have hot water and some have satellite TV. The more expensive rooms have extra beds.
The resort has a restaurant that serves Thai and Western food as well as a range of beverages. In 2017 the resort put in a swimming pool.
Other services include a taxi service to the beach (you can also walk for 25 minutes to get to the beach), table tennis, free wifi zone, safety boxes, elephant riding and fishing.
