Sawasdee Village

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was very nice and accommodating! Everything about the place was gorgeous. Breakfast was ok but was a bit expensive for what they had. Super close to the beach and not too far from everything. We frequented Kata Night market for snacks/food. The guy in front that helped everyone cross the street was so very sweet."
