On behalf of all nine of us, I wish to thank you and your wonderful staff for such an excellent holiday. We loved every minute of our time in Phuket relaxing with the massages, exploring islands and forests, swimming in the pool, and devouring Khun May's delicious meals. None of us wanted to leave your little piece of paradise and truly hope we can arrange another escape back to Villa Jasmine. We will recommend your villa to our friends.

We still think about Villa Jasmine with fond memories every day - please send our regards to May and the others, they were fantastic. (September 06 - Greg Young: Melbourne, Australia)
What can I say, it was without question one of the best holidays we've been on (and we've been on quite a few!). It was absolutely brilliant! It was perfectly chilled and stress-free. Just what we needed. We have no complaints or suggestions to make it better - we just had such a great time that we didn't want to come back. (August 06 - Sandra)
We had a fantastic time, the vila is gorgeous and May and the girls were absolutely brilliant, you're definitely onto a winner there with them. May's cooking was magnificent. I can't think of anything to suggest to improve it, it all worked so smoothly. Thank you for having us. (May 06 - Narelle: Singapore)
We had a fantastic holiday . The Villa and May and team exceeded our expectations! She is a credit to you and we would love to go back. Rooms are all excellent and great pool and other facilities .Everything was splendid! It is a five star experience. (April 06 - Rob Cox: London: UK)
The Villa was superb as was May and her team. Some of the best Thai food I have eaten in 24 years in Asia. I have forwarded details of the villas throughout my company and to my friends. I am confident you will get bookings from them in due course. Certainly my family and our friends the Berlin’s will visit again. (March 06 - James Lisle: Macau and Hong Kong )
My family and I had a wonderful holiday in the Villa Jasmine together with the Lisles. Fantastic service and cooking by May and her team. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends. (March 06 - Martin Berlin: Macau)
We had such a wonderful fortnight there - I still miss Khun May! If you can actually drag yourself away from the lovely infinity pool, here are a few suggestions of things to do and places to see:
Phuket Tropical Marine Company (+66 76273404). We had a great trip to the islands of Phi Phi, Maya and Khai in a speedboat supplied by the above company. We stopped off at Maya initially (also known as Monkey Island) for reasons which soon become obvious. Then on to Phi Phi for lunch after some wonderful snorkelling in beautiful crystal clear waters and passing many wonderful sights. The afternoon was spent on the island of Khai where again the snorkelling is great - right from the shore!! A wonderful day.
Phang Nga Bay Company (for sea cave canoeing) (Tel: +66 76210434). This company will take you by air-conditioned coach to the North of the island where you transfer to a large boat. This takes you to the sea caves where trained staff paddle you in canoes in and around this wonderful area the scenery is truly spectacular and the staff great fun. A splendid lunch is laid out for you on the main boat which then takes you to another island for a spot of sunbathing and swimming etc before taking you back to the coach for transfer home. This was a very special day and certainly one that we would recommend to anyone.
Siam Safari Nature Tours (Tel: +66 762801167). My sister and I did this trip whilst our husbands played golf!! You are transported by air-conditioned coach to a Nature Reserve on the mainland about 11/2 - 2 hours drive north of the bridge, passing through the most stunning countryside. On arrival at the camp and after refreshments, you either go on a river canoe trip or an elephant ride through the rainforest. The canoe trip is a delight, very peaceful and a chance to catch a glimpse of a lovely variety of bird life and other exotic animals - stopping halfway for an interesting cup of tea/coffee around a bush fire. Back to the camp for lunch in a most delightful setting before being transferred to the elephant camp where you are introduced to the elephants and their mahoots and are then taken into the forest on these wonderful beasts before returning and feeding them some well earned bananas! Transfer back by coach. A long day, but well worth the early start.
Fishing. There are many deep sea fishing trips to book and Khun May is quite happy cooking your catch - boats of all sizes can be booked at the information centre at Chalong Marina where we also hired a small speedboat to take just the four of us out for the day to various islands for some more great snorkelling and sightseeing. If you fancy a change of scenery from the wonderful beaches near the villa, try driving to the north end of the island just short of the bridge to the mainland. The road bears round to the left and you will see the sea on the left - pull in anywhere along this wooded area and you will discover a brilliant white sanded beach - we went up there twice and each time there were only a couple of locals on the beach which is miles long! There are also a handful of 'restaurants' with wonderful bamboo shaded seating areas where they serve brilliant fresh fish and cold beer - then just fall into the sparkling sea for a refreshing swim - pure heaven!! All this and then you return to the joys of Khun May's wonderful cooking!! Khun May very kindly booked most of the above trips for us and ensured that we were to be collected from the villa etc. She is also very happy to arrange restaurant reservations, taxis etc. (March 06 - Hugh and Jean Michelmore)
Just a quick note to let you know the holiday was a great success. You have an absolutely fantastic villa there and the girls were great. Thanks for all your help in the organizing Brian and I will hopefully speak to you again soon with regards to my next trip. Many thanks. (January 06 - James Pelham)
