Ban (village) Chaloklum is still primarily a fishing village, and the fishing trade centres around the mid-section of the beach where the village is located.

There are also a few cool bars to visit and Paradise Waterfall, one of the biggest clubs on the island is just outside the village.

The architect who designed the resort has fused traditional Thai and modern influences to create a well laid out and spacious landscape that is both pleasing to the eye and functional. All the bungalows face the beach and are positioned so that there is a sea view from every balcony and enough space between them for complete privacy. The resort was previously a coconut plantation and the tall palms remain, giving shade to the lush gardens and cooling the buildings.
