Our beautiful island home is located in a quiet neighborhood. We had only 2 neighbors so far, but currently they are building few more houses around (said to be finished by May 2024). There is a major influx of construction on the island currently, so it is bit more noisy during the day. Even with the current construction in our area, we don't feel very disturbed, but if you will be spending a lot of time at home, and need silence it might not be the best location for now.
Distance from the beach
Our Persian cat diva - Frida, will be requiring some feeding, litterbox clean and some loving from time to time, but she's very independent, and in general is just left to her own little cat life.
You will also need to take care of our little plant jungle, but the plants are low maintenance, so it will be very easy.
We include Honda PCX motorbike with the house, so you can enjoy exploring this beautiful island. It's the easiest and most enjoyable way to move around the island. There are Songthaew taxis, but they are quite expensive, and not sustainable for every day travel. We can offer contacts for car or bicycle rentals, but the most common way of transport is using motorbike. We have one bicycle also that you can use during your stay.
The space
2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, equipped kitchen (island style), super comfy sofa with 65inch smart TV, dinning area, loads of greenery around. Very bright and spacious with big windows and a lot of daylight.
Bedroom 1 - en suite, we use this one for sleeping, has king size bed big window and newly renovated bathroom.
Bedroom 2 - Maciej uses this room as his work space (a man cave ), has big desk for computer work, very bright with 3 big windows, also has king size bed.
Living room/dinning area/kitchen - it's an open L-shaped area with a lot of daylight. Second bathroom is accessible from here.
Free standing 60L electric oven, air fryer, blender, food processor, loads of cupboards, refrigerator with freezer, island in the middle for some kitchen shenanigans.
Guest access
few steps to access the house as it's built on short stilts.
for now it is a dirt road, but with the new development most likely we will get better road. Sadly not suitable for wheelchair access.
Notes
this is our primary home and we can only offer it for exchange when we are travelling ourselves.
We usually go during "low seasons" - May-June then October-November

Our house is located 5 minute motorbike drive from both Sri Thanu beach and HingKong beach, where all the magic of west coast of the island happens.
This area is well known for the amazing food selection, from Thai, Persian, Middle eastern, Vegan, you name it, Yogi and health conscious community, interesting workshops and conscious events. Our island has a lot to offer, and it seems to be attracting expats from all around the world.
Getting to my home
Few options
1. Flying to Samui airport, then taking 30 min speedboat to Koh Phangan, Tongsala pier.
2. Flying to Surat Thani airport, then taking bus + 3 hour ferry ride to Koh Phangan Tomgsala pier
3. Taking overnight bus from Bangkok, this is the cheapest but also the longest way of getting here. Bus takes you to mainland Donsak pier and then ferry to the island, allis included in the ticket (currently at 1200b pp)
4. Taking train from Bangkok to Surat Thani, then bus and boat to Koh Phangan, Tongsala pier.
From the pier you need to get a taxi, or we can pick you up if we still here to do take over.

Getting around
Best way is to use motorbike, which we provide with the house, but you can also rent a car or bicycle if you wish.
it was absolutely a dream come true. Beautiful island, pristine waters, sun shines all the time. The house is clean and bright, well equipped, very comfy beds. Cat Frida is definitely a character, took her time to warm up to us, but after she did, it was a lot of fun to take care of her. She's low maintenance and most of the day keeps to herself. The use of motorbike was also very helpful, it's the best way to go around this beautiful island.
We would be looking forward to coming back here for sure if Kinga and Maciej will have us again.
great communication, overall very positive experience. We haven't met in person yet, but hopefully soon.
everything was great. Dorotas apartment is small but very sweet, it feels like home away from home. it was convenient for us to stay as close to family and friends. Place was clean and fully equipped. It is in a low rise apartment block in a quiet road. around 15 minutes walk from train station connecting to Warsaw in 30 min
Small but very cosy place, wirg about 10 min walk to train station with direct transport to Warsaw. Clean and tidy with a lot of personal touches.
Our house and a cat were taken care of very well. We kept communicating through the stay and they were very attentive and responsive. Great guests.

Kinga
Hey world. We're Kinga and Maciej, originally from Poland, but living on a tropical island of Koh Phangan, Thailand for last 10 years, where we're running a vegan restaurant.
We love travelling whenever we can, usually trying to do it twice a year during the "low seasons " of the island, when we're not as busy with the restaurant duties.
As we have beach around us all the time, we usually prefer to travel to mountainous destinations with fresher air, where we can feel a bit cooler :).
We love exploring new places, experience how is it to live someone else's life for a bit, and exchanging homes is the best way to do it for sure.
We are new on this platform, but have been members of other one for few years, with few exchanges and some references.
Looking forward to experience your part of the world :D
