We stayed at Gecko Villa on the recommendation iof friends.

It is a standalone house with a private pool, 2 large bedrooms, large living room, kitchen, huge garden & grounds etc where a couple looked after us the whole time and even helped with the children (they have four of their own). It was great fun and we really fely we were experiencing the real Thailand, with Thais, rather than tourist centres. Added to which, it worked out cheaper even though we had our own entire property, private pool, local people to look after us ... and meals!

They have a website at www.geckovilla.com
