Located: Lamai Beach Laem Set Inn, established in 1982, was one of the first hotels on the island. At that time there were only a dozen or so, and while this number has mushroomed to 200+, if one counts both small bungalows and big hotels, Laem Set Inn is the only establishment maintaining the original style of Samui, but placing it in a context of fine service and world-renowned cuisine. We still have thatched seafront bungalows, and our suites are all old teak houses, dismantled and reassembled here, with interior redesign to a most comfortable and elegant standard.

Accommodation -Laem Set Inn, with only 25 rooms, is completely isolated from the commercial developments on the big tourist beaches and is an ideal choice for those seeking a romantic and intimate owner-managed Inn.

Facilities and Room:  Koh-Tan suite: Based on an old rosewood house found on the nearby island of Koh-Tan then dismantled and reassembled here, this magnificent craftsman's residence has been internally redesigned and is an experience in elegance. A breathtaking entrance atrium leads onto a beautifully furnished lounge with full-length balcony offering stunning views over the Southern Isles to the mainland 30 miles away. Two bedrooms, (ensuite naturally), and extra beds in the lounge if required make it ideal for two couples or the height of luxury for a family. A private swimming pool built into an elevated promontory directly in front of the suite, its isolation from all other rooms and our quality room service make this fine house particularly suitable for persons requiring absolute privacy.
Studio Suite: Each studio is an old Southern Thai house faithfully rebuilt here with interior redesign to a most comfortable and elegant standard. Although broadly similar in size and specification, each is different and is named after the village from which it was removed. They are of open-plan design with the bedroom, living area and balcony flowing into each other and all have a separate bedroom with a set of bunk beds for children. They all have air-conditioning and are also fully screened with fans, giving one the choice of either style of cooling. These stylish and romantic little houses are ideal for either couples or small families. 
Hua-Thanon suite: Our newest suite offering, this all wooden house, about 60 years old, was moved from our local village. Refurbishing took a year and the re-sitting was completed in January 1997. The location is absolute seafront in the center of the main beach with unobstructed views to the impressive granite rock formations on the point beyond the pool. The two bedrooms, one with two single beds and one with a double bed, have elegant ensuite bathrooms tiled in the original old Thai manner and access to the huge balconies and terrace is via a small entrance lounge or direct through the sliding glass bedroom doors. A children's room with two sets of bunk beds to the rear, (total four children), is accessed from each main bedroom. Wide stone steps are set into the sea-wall giving the suite the feel of the whole house cascading onto the beach. It ideally suits two families traveling together or one family with in-laws
Ma-Ret suite: This lovely old house was moved from a nearby village and re-sited on its own sandy cove just ten meters from the beach. It has two ensuite bedrooms and a huge attic lounge which can, alternatively, double as a big bedroom for up to eight children. Below, bordered by rocks in a cool, almost cave-like atmosphere, is a day-lounge with beach furniture and showers. With a choice of air-conditioning or fan-cooling in all rooms and a private swimming pool directly in front, this unique house and setting is ideal for a large family or a small group of friends.
Honey Moon Suite: is in the studio suite style but it is the most remotely located house on the premises and is the only one not to have a separate children's room. The entire interior is open-plan and flows onto balconies in front and to the sunset-side where there is a little tub to cool oneself while sipping a cocktail. This suite is very popular and often books months in advance. It has just received a renovation which includes a hugely expanded balcony to take full advantage of the panoramic views.
Standard rooms: For those who would like something more conventional than a bungalow and less elaborate than a suite, we have the standard room style. With a choice of a/c or fan there are four rooms under a single roof in a replica of a big Southern Thai house. Each has one double bed and either one single bed or a set of bunk beds. These are nice, comfortable, completely soundproofed rooms which offer all amenities at a very affordable price. Some are right on the seafront making them a good choice for children and some are set slightly back, (but with nothing between them and the sea, -- this shouldn't be confused with a "second-row" position), giving greater privacy. These latter are newer and slightly more elegant
Thatched cottages: with woven bamboo walls have room service telephones and solar hot water. They are designed with couples in mind and have one double bed with a further single bed in a tiny attic room. We have adjoining bungalows for families. They are fan-cooled and are not screened. One sleeps under a mosquito net. With these rooms we try to realize the tropical island fantasy of a thatched cottage on the beach, beneath the stars. The construction is so open that give the feeling of almost camping-out. This is their charm for some, but for others they may not be suitable. An integral part of the philosophy of LAEM SET INN is to create an interesting gathering of people from all walks of life, not excluding younger persons and not becoming an elitist establishment. These bungalows enable us to offer the experience of LAEM SET INN to persons who appreciate style and quality, but who might find the other styles inaccessible
