Aforetime House @ Samui

Taling Ngam Beach

Taling Ngam Beach is a few steps from the hostel, while Grandfather's Grandmother's Rocks is 14 km from the property. The nearest airport is Samui International Airport, 28 km from Aforetime House @ Samui. The best hostel we have ever stayed at. We originally had 3 nights booked but decided to extend for another 3 because of how good it was. The owner is the sweetest most welcoming man and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The shared dorms are amazing. You have a plug and a lamp right by your bed, comfortable mattress, a locker and a curtain for privacy. Everything is super clean thanks to the amazing staff. Located right at the beach with the most stunning sunsets. The location is a little remote which we personally didn’t mind as it was very peaceful. You can however rent a scooter right at the hostel for a fair price. The community here is great and organized many different activities such as day trips, bbqs, etc. Definitely a place we will come back to!!!
