Pakasai is a split-level resort featuring seven
different room types and chalets in Ao Nang,
Krabi. The resort has recently undergone an
extensive renovation comprising room refurbishment
as well as the addition of a new three-storey
building above a modern and attractive lobby
with plenty of sofa space.
The old lobby is presently a breezy coffee
shop and bar as well as relaxation area and
stands adjacent to the open-sided restaurant.

Where is it?
Pakasai is at the northern end of Ao Nang (in the
direction of Nopparat Thara beach) on a road leading
uphill out of the resort, conveniently close to Ao
Nang's shopping and nightlife scene. See map
below...
The resort is located 200 metres from the Ao Nang
Beach Road. The higher you go in this hillside resort,
the greener and cooler it becomes and chalets on the
upper part have good views out over the surrounding
countryside and partial sea views.
How many rooms?
Pakasai has 104 rooms with 38 Adora, 31 Deluxe, 20
Superior, two Deluxe Family Rooms, two Pakasai Peak
Suites and one Superior Family Room.

The 48sqm Adora Room has clean lines, helped along
by parquet floors, clever lighting arrangements, a
king-size bed with a couch at its foot, large sliding
windows leading out to an ample terrace with adjustable
rattan blinds for privacy as well as wooden side louvers.
There is also a white soaking tub on the balcony
as well as a solid table-and-chairs set. A swivel-based
cable and terrestrial TV with DVD player stands over
the minibar and fridge.
Behind the bed lies a workspace with drawers and
an open bathroom space with non-slip tiles and modernistic
digital weighing scales.

The shower cubicle shares the same sliding opaque
glass door as the toilet and has both rain and normal
shower facilities. Ample storage space comes in the
shape of a large wardrobe with plenty of open spaces
for shoes and suitcases. Lots of free toiletries and
extras such as a beach mat in a beach bag are good
touches along with expected accessories such as bathrobes
and slippers and umbrella as well as a digital safe.
The 52sqm Deluxe Room follows along the same lines
as the Adora with polished parquet floors and several
extras such as a large-base king-size bed, a corner
work space along with a large and breezy balcony with
good garden views, a spacious bathroom with a walk
in shower. Thai textiles adorn the walls above the
bed.

The second-level free form pool features an infinity
edge at its west side, affording views out over neighbouring
hills and partial sea views. There are 14 double sun-lounger-and-parasol
sets with a pool bar and terrace along with a children's
section.
The pool never gets too deep and so is safe for elder
children. Pakasai also has a medium-sized fitness
room as well as mountain bikes for getting around
and a charming Adora Spa with a full menu.
The lobby lends out VCD's and has an attractive mini-library.

Overall
 |
| New reception |
|
Pakasai has benefited enormously from its renovation
and the cleaner and more defined lines of the resort
are undeniably attractive and functional.
A lot of its individuality comes from the fact that
it is on a hillside and in lush greenery. Another
plus point is its handy location, being just a short
stroll away from downtown Ao Nang and the longtail
boat departure point for neighbouring islands.
