My girlfriend and I accidentally stumbled upon this little known resort while looking for a beach resort at Hua Hin. Kasemsuk is actually a few more hours further south by train. The total length of the journey by train was around 7/8hrs, a tad long but worth the ride if you want to visit somewhere very quiet and truly an escape. By train we got off at the Bankrut station from Bangkok. Book tickets early to get better seats/trip time. We unfortunately suffered delays and arrived late but thankfully the resort let the stationmaster know at Bankrut that we were coming and he called a taxi service to bring us to the resort around midnight.
At the resort we were let into our seaside cabin, a free upgrade to our regular room booking, even late into the night. The cabin was air conditioned clean, relaxing, and intimate. There's a lovely private beach and breakfast is free and served beachside. The beach was lovely and at times we felt like we had the whole thing to ourselves. They also offer a scooter/motorbike rental service which we used to get to Bankrut town proper. Bankrut is a small seaside town with amazing Thai seafood restaurants one must try. We also used the scooter to explore the temples around the area including one monastery perched atop a hill which overlooks the ocean and you can see it from kasemsuk beach resort actually.

Kasemsuk offers really good value. We spent around $65 for two nights. So low compared to other resorts. Another resort relatively next door to kasemsuk was charging around $90+/day for their seaside cabin. One word of caution though is the resort owner doesn't speak English that well but her daughter spoke decent English and helped us out throughout our stay. She even dropped us off at the train station on our return trip. Highly recommended if you're willing to go for adventure and escape somewhere relatively unknown.More
