- The resort is surrounded by five national parks and sits within an hour's boat journey of the Similan Islands, consistently ranked among the top dive sites in Asia.
- The smallest published suite or villa start at 1,023 sq ft (95 m²).
History
The Sarojin is a boutique resort on Khao Lak's Pakarang Beach in Phang Nga province, on Thailand's Andaman coast. It was created by the British couple Kate and Andrew Kemp and opened in 2005 — but its story is marked by tragedy and resilience: the Boxing Day tsunami of December 2004 struck just ten days before its planned opening, and the owners rebuilt before welcoming their first guests.
The resort comprises 56 residences arranged across seven low-rise buildings among tropical gardens near the sea.
The setting
6 km from Sai Rung waterfall. 22 km from Tublamu Navy Golf Course.
