AN ECO RESORT IN CHANTHABURI, THAILAND
26/1 Moo 7, Sanamchai, Nayaiarm, Chanthaburi 20000 Thailand www.faasai.com
Faasai means clear skies; a reference to the refreshing quality of the breeze and expansive views of the sky and encircling hills and mountains. From the comfort of your pavilion terrace you can enjoy abundant bird life, brightly coloured butterflies, lizards, the scent of the forest and tropical flowers, the rising sun and moon, a starlit sky and the sound of the waves. In the rainy season you will also see fireflies, mountain mists, tropical thunderstorms and spectacular views of the Cardamon Mountains 80 kilometres to the east. Faasai Resort and Spa is an eco-resort, committed to preserving the environment and supporting the local community.
Faasai Resort and Spa is a peaceful coastal haven only 220 kilometres to the southeast of Bangkok or about three hours by car. The quiet garden resort is only ten minutes walk from Kung Wiman beach and a good base for exploring the beaches and mountains of Chanthaburi. The nearest airport is Suvanabhumi, the Bangkok international airport, about two and a half hours away, which has buses going directly to Chanthaburi. It is a good alternative to the other eastern beaches of Ko Chang or Pattaya, as it is closer than Ko Chang and quieter than Pattaya.We can arrange transport to and from the resort by taxi or private van. Alternatively there are regular bus services with buses leaving almost every hour from Bangkok. If you are driving from Bangkok, take the eastern motorway to Bang Na, then Ban Buen before turning into highway 344 to Klaeng and Chanthaburi. At Klaeng turn left into highway 3 and then after 32 kilometres past Klaeng turn right into highway 3399 which will take you to Kung Wiman. You will see Faasai on the right 300 metres before you reach the sea.
“We recently stayed at Faasai Resort for 1 week and had the best holiday for a very long time. The hostess Bronwyn is delightful happily showing you her gardens and animals. But the surrounding area with specials such as “Swimming with Dolphins”, Golfing, Swimming in the sea, Mountain climbing are just fantastic. Worth a visit and very good value.
