You won't find a reception at the Na-Thai Resort. Instead there is the “green couch” in the open area below the main building. The couch symbolizes the very informal culture you will find in the resort. The “green couch” is where you are greeted, where you check in and out, where you plan your activities and excursions, and where Walee and Gerhard will give you sound advice and information.

The vast space below the main building, which is designed in the classic Thai style and build from wood, serves as internet café, dining room, lobby, and lounge. This is also the place where diving courses and various workshops, teaching traditional handicrafts, are held. This rather unusual “lobby” is open on three sides and will give you the impression to sit right in the middle of the tasteful tropical garden that surrounds the house.

A hedgerow of two meters height surrounds the Na-Thai Resort, marks its borders, and provides privacy from passers by.

Particularly remarkable is the odorless, eye and skin friendly water of the swimming pool.

Gerhard and Saman, the resort's gardener, are treating and cleaning the water with a
new water-care system that doesn't require any aggressive chlorine or chemicals, and is completely free of the sometimes unpleasant byproducts of ionization and electrolysis methods.

Meet Nee and Gerhard, to whom the resort owes its very special charm and atmosphere. You will realize as soon as you check in: At the Na-Thai Resort you are not just a “paying guest”, but welcome as the person you are and a as member of the Na-Thai family. There is a difference between the service hospitality of a hotel and the heartfelt hospitality your hosts extend to you at the Na-Thai Resort. It comes natural to Neeand Gerhard to treat you as a friend, rather than a “guest”. You will find this caring attitude and culture in every little detail of the resort. Where else can you find a self-service bar in a hotel lobby, where you are asked, to kindly write on a pad what you where drinking? Where else could you leave your kids in the care of the “hotel manager” if you feel like spending a couple of hours by yourself, or if you wanted to enjoy a night out in the bars and restaurants of Ao-Nang?

No unhappy faces here.

Nee and Gerhard are always there for you – even in the middle of the night, if necessary. They personally remove the “giant” but harmless spider from your bathroom ceiling at 2:00 a.m., help you book and organize trips and activities, and look into matters, if things occasionally don't turn out as expected.

Their outstanding personal involvement and care is also the reason why the resort is not bigger. As Gerhard says: “If we had any more guests, it would be impossible to take care of them as we do now. We don't need another hotel-machine, and neither do our visitors. Nee and I enjoy dealing with different people and to make their stay as pleasant for them as possible. Our visitors feel that, right from the first moment they set foot into the Na-Thai Resort. – And it's because of our attitude towards them that they come back. We would like to keep it that way.”

Many of the long-time visitors of the Na-Thai Resort have become good friends with Nee and Gerhard. The Na-Thai Resort is a hot insider tip for all those who don't want to spend their vacation in Krabi inside a fully automated, impersonal tourism-routine.
