Ko Samet, Chumphon hotel rooms at the Independent

"The bungalows at Rimsiri are well designed, very clean, and thoughtfully appointed. We loved the outdoor kitchen! The property is full of beautiful green and flowering plants, trees, palms, and there are some roosters, hens, and even a pair of white peacocks wandering around from a nearby house. It’s a unique and peaceful place. The owner lives right there and is justifiably proud of his rentals. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Pet friendly and very welcoming. We highly recommend this rental!"

"We chose this motel for a quick stay before flying out of Chumphon airport. The little bungalow was nice and quiet. AC worked well. Bed and bedding comfortable. The hostess was very kind to us and helped us get to the airport with a very reasonable price ride service. "

"Fantastic stay. Rooms and site fantastic. Would have stayed much longer if we could. "

"Great location near local market and many local eateries."

"It is the standard 2 star (adequate, but not quite up to the standard of a good long term) hotel in a 5 star location. TV didn’t work properl, lots of cracks for bugs, NO bright lighting (bath was very dark and dim)… Very clean bed, and the service was spectacular. Breakfast was abandoned due to ant invasion."

"Great property across the street from the beach With a restaurant bar that sits on the beach Lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance Mostly thai food but some western. This hotel That's a nice pool. And great staff the morning buffet is good from seven a m to ten am. Overall, a very nice property for the money"

"Clean room, comfortable bed, nice pools. Super quiet no background music. Personally would like some music in the background while having dinner or drinks. Partner ordered a pizza which was obviously a frozen one. Wouldn't recommend one. I had spring rolls and they were good. Overall a nice stay."
