Our story
Tawanna is a boutique, family-run eco-focused resort that offers an authentic taste of southern Thai life, set amidst the unspoiled beauty of Phatthalung province. Peacefully nestled among coconut groves and rubber tree plantations in a traditional organic village, our eco-certified retreat is perfectly placed for rest, renewal, and a genuine connection with nature.
Driven by our commitment to sustainability and eco-tourism, we offer more than tranquil accommodation—we invite guests to embrace the rhythms of village life and the richness of the surrounding environment.
Tawanna is also the ideal base for discovering Phatthalung’s many green travel experiences, including its UNESCO-recognised wetlands, which play a vital role in global biodiversity.

Things to do
Phatthalung is often described as one of Thailand’s hidden gems, a province quietly building a reputation for eco-based tourism and authentic cultural experiences. Close by our resort, you’ll find vibrant green markets such as the Pa Phai Sang Suk Market and Lad Tainod Green Market where you can sample regional delicacies and enjoy the warm, welcoming atmosphere.
For those seeking adventure, the surrounding landscapes offer river kayaking quad biking and wild swimming in crystal-clear pools beneath breathtaking waterfalls — all within a short drive.
If you’re drawn to history and spirituality, Phatthalung is dotted with enchanting cave temples nestled in the mountains, including Wat Khao Daeng, Wat Khao Aor, and Wat Khuha Sawan each offering a glimpse into our province's deep cultural roots.
Perhaps most famously, Phatthalung is home to Thale Noi (Little Sea) — a UNESCO World Heritage–listed freshwater wetland and bird sanctuary. This protected ecosystem is alive with migratory birds, herds of water buffalo, and fields of pink lotus flowers, playing a vital role in global biodiversity. Just 15 minutes from our resort, we can arrange boat tours of Thale Noi, starting as early as sunrise at 6am for a truly unforgettable experience.
These are only a handful of the treasures waiting to be discovered here in Phatthalung. If you would like more personalised recommendations, please don’t hesitate to ask.
