Description

Oh'lala Studios is an apartment in Ban Tai, Koh Phangan, with 45 m² units featuring private kitchens and terraces with city views. The accommodation comprises Deluxe Studio and Deluxe Apartment options, each with a large bed and capacity for two. The apartments have a separate bedroom and living room, while the studio has a single studio layout.

Kitchen facilities include a microwave, kitchenware, electric kettle and dining table, alongside private bathrooms, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs and streaming services.

Rooms

4 room types · 45–45 m²

All four accommodation entries are 45 m² and have capacity for two, with a private bathroom, kitchen facilities and an outdoor terrace. The Deluxe Studio has a combined studio layout; its kitchen includes kitchenware, a microwave and tea- and coffee-making equipment, with a flat-screen TV offering streaming services. A balcony and city views are also part of the room setup.

The Deluxe Apartment options add a separate bedroom and living room, along with a private entrance. Their kitchens have a microwave and kitchenware, while terraces look towards the city. Both room types share air conditioning, a large bed and a private bathroom, and the bathrooms have a bath or shower. The options are alike in size and capacity, so the main distinction is the apartment's divided living and sleeping spaces rather than extra floor area.

The island road system connects the south coast with Thong Sala and other settlements, but roads towards Haad Rin and the north-east are steep, so take care on a scooter.
