The Ayutthaya-style wooden houses of Ban Thai Sangthian are immense. The sweeping rooflines and solid dark wood beams make for an imposing structure that dominates the beach. Most houses are designed for more than two people, and are very popular with young Thai groups at weekends. Rooms aren't stylish, but they are comfortable, and have air-con, TV, fridges, and hot water showers, some of them outside. For a group, these rates are a great deal. Discounts for longer stays.
