Bang Saphan town

Rama Inn - Adequate for a night
Bang Saphan Rd, Bang Saphan
T: (032) 54 8219-21;
The Rama Inn is just a short walk from the train station, so it's the place to stay if you arrive late and are too tired to go anywhere else. It's crummy, over-priced, and yes, a little smelly, but ... Rama Inn complete profile

East and north of Bang Saphan

Benjawan Bungalows - Nothing special
100/1 Moo 5 Maerampeung Rd, Bang Saphan
T: (032) 69 1158;
This place is nothing special, and like a lot of the concrete bungalow joints in this area, it suffers from smelly room syndrome. The 250 THB fan rooms have hard beds mounted on frames made of tile ... Benjawan Bungalows complete profile

Western Hotel - A crummy looking giant
111/1 Moo 5, Beach Road (Maerampheung Rd), Bang Saphan
T: (032) 691 1015-7; F: (032) 69 1401

Bamboo Bungalows - Not overflowing with atmosphere
Next to Lola Bungalows, Bang Saphan

If the Lola is full, there are nine, rickety, bamboo bungalows next door. They aren't very comfortable to move around in, and the place doesn't have a lot of atmosphere. Stay here while waiting for ... Bamboo Bungalows complete profile
