Le Passe Temps occupies a secluded corner of Tha Lane bay, on the west coast of Krabi. Nine teak bungalows, direct access to the sea, seafood restaurant and pool: the property embraces simplicity and direct connection with the dramatic karst landscape.

Why choose Le Passe Temps

The property stands out for three concrete reasons. First, materials: everything is teak, from flooring to ceilings and private bungalow terraces. Second, location—away from the hotel clusters of Ao Nang or Railay, nestled in a fishing village renowned for kayaking. Third, size: just nine bungalows, creating an atmosphere closer to a guesthouse than a resort. The establishment holds SHA certification, validating compliance with Thai hygiene and health protection standards.

Atmosphere

The mood is that of a tranquil bay shore. Wood dominates throughout, giving spaces a warm tone and distinctive aroma. Bungalows open onto the sea or pool with complete privacy, and Tha Lane bay remains relatively sheltered from the tourist flow that serves the province's better-known beaches. Life moves slowly here: reading on the terrace, kayaking at sunrise, returning for a seafood meal.

The bungalows

All nine air-conditioned bungalows offer direct beach access, Wi-Fi and private bathroom facilities. Teak decor extends to the outdoor terrace, furnished for sitting and enjoying the view. Several configurations are available:

• a small house overlooking the garden, suited for couples seeking intimacy;
• suites with pool or ocean views, sized for families or small groups;
• a single-bed room facing the pool, designed for solo travelers.

Children of all ages are welcome. Pets are not permitted.

Dining and services

The Bac-à-Sable restaurant specializes in seafood, with cuisine centered on the bay's fresh catches. A bar rounds out dining, serving drinks and fresh juices. Additional facilities include:

• outdoor pool with sun loungers and parasols;
• spa and wellness center with dedicated body care practitioners;
• library (novels, graphic novels) and board games;
• multilingual reception in English-speaking staff.

Location

Exact address: 73 Moo 3 Tha Lane, Khao Thong, Krabi 81000. The property sits roughly 30 km from Krabi city center and a 30-minute drive from the international airport. This position makes it a logical stop between Phuket and Krabi as part of a southern Thailand circuit.

What to do nearby

Tha Lane is primarily a fishing village whose bay has become one of the region's best-known kayaking spots. Common activities include:

• kayaking and paddleboarding in limestone lagoons;
• boat trips to coral islands offshore;
• exploring sea caves and mangrove forests;
• spotting local wildlife: monkeys, birds, tropical vegetation.

To compare other options in the province, consider properties like the Amari Vogue, Anawin Bungalows or Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort, which lean more toward resort experiences.
