Rest at homestay, enjoy plenty of seafood, and get ready to learn the ways of the fishermen

Ao Kram is a small fishing community of about 20 houses in Sawi District, Chumphon Province, that welcomes travelers in homestay style. Relax in a wooden house by the sea and learn about the local fishing lifestyle on the Gulf of Thailand. It’s akin to being in a seafood market - get on a boat to go shopping every day.
