Ekman Garden Resort is located in Nakhorn Si Thammarat. A small hotel, where the guest will find calm, a friendly and a pleasant atmosphere. All 14 rooms at the hotel have all the modern facilities guests' would expect from a hotel of this class.
The garden is one of the most gorgeous ones in the whole region, with pretty flowers, ponds, fish, butterflies and birds, and a softly shaped 15 m pool in front of the restaurant part. There is a little river and a manmade lake within the garden where the guest can catch a nice fish for dinner. The guest can choose to eat either European or Thai style, or both.

Accommodation and facilities:
A lovely little resort with a lovely garden and very good food. Anna and Staffan was very nice and took good care of oss. The only disadvantage of Ekman was that the resort was not located so near the beach. It was the ca 1-2 km away and the last distance down to the beach, you had to walk on bamboo poles in a mangrove area.We were very pleased with our stay there.

Dessa människor var helt underbara. De tog emot oss med kärlek i en helt underbar miljö. Anna och Staffan som äger detta underbara ställe tog med oss ut varje dag, visade oss tempel, varuhus, stränder, marknader, batiktillverkning, matställe som thailändarna själv går till.Anna lagade den mest smakrika maten med fin uppläggning. Jag rekommenderar alla att besöka denna underbara resort. Jag har bott på många 4 stjärniga hotell, detta har fem för här finns miljön och den atmosfär man letar efter. Tack alla ni som tog hand om oss som om vi var en i familjen.
Reservation service:
Helt fantastiskt att både få en så fin miljö samtidigt få en sådan underbar personal.

Accommodation and facilities:
Ekman Resort is a little resort, laying in a very small village. So very good for people who want to avoid a flow of activities or a crowdy envirement.In the opposite it is even very quiet. So it is not interesting for people who just want to party and/or want have activities planned for children. The resort is not directly situated at the seashore, but a walk to- and enjoying the beach is very well possible. Service in Ekman garden is very good. All people working in or for the resort are very helpfull and friendly. We had a wonderfull time in Ekman resort.
Reservation service:
All reservations, payments etc. are quickly and good organized. There was just one little mistake in one of 4 reservations. Sawadee took action by itself to solve the little problem without questions or interference from our side. Reliable quick operating organisation.

This place is wonderful. Anna treated us as though she was our pee sow (older sister) and always made sure we were enjoying our stay, and that we were ok.. The food is wonderful, I will miss the yellow curry with bananas apples and chicken so much! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and it was one of my favorite places in Thailand. The rooms were great and the gardens beautiful. This place is off the tourist track and the people in the small town are just so friendly. Even though they speak little to no english, EVERYONE makes a point of waving and saying hello as you drive around the village. I can t wait to visit again. I will miss you Anna!

I used this service all through my travels in thailand and it was always perfect.
