Description
Siam Beach is one of the best alternatives for independent visitors to Ko Kut. Fairly reasonably priced wooden bungalows are huge, with both fan and air conditioning, as well as a private cold shower bathroom. Part of the Koh Chang Siam chain, bungalows line a private stretch of very white beach, and the resort will rent kayaks and snorkeling equipment. A beachside restaurant has a decent Thai food menu. In high season, or for large package groups they have a barbecue, with fresh meat and seafood available.

Good place on a gorgeous beach -

Siam's nifty looking trad style huts behind the excellent beach looked just the place so I bailed out of the speedboat at the rickety pier. All the bungalows were taken but the nice manager put me in one of the big rooms in the family unit in “Siberia“ - waaay over the southern side of the resort about 400m from the restaurant, 100m from the beach - a block of 5 rooms built on piers over a small lagoon which looks pretty spiffy at higher tide levels, but they have taken no advantage of this - no balcony out back for the lagoon view. Siberia is good news for families, groups. Most of the 5 rooms are about 10mx4m, with either 4 or 5 beds, plenty of space for all those people’s gear, big bathrooms. My room was narrower at 3.5m and had only 2 beds - big soft ensemble jobs, ditto pillows. Shiny tiled floors but wooden walls not particularly soundproof. Quiet fan, lights a bit dim. Bedside table but otherwise storage on huge floor area. Huge tiled and concrete bathroom, basin, bidet gun, good water pressure. Towels, toilet paper, soap, comp water. No screens or mozzie net but not too hot at night despite closed windows. Not occupied for some time so needed a 3 minute sweep. Pretty good value at 500b.
The fan bungalows at the same price (they also has aircon bungalows at around 800) looked real nice, had screens+mozzie net and most are front row close to the beach.
Restaurant is the usual open-sided beachside job. Food was good, prices seemed pretty normal budget level, service quick, although English is not real strong away from the super busy manager. The Thai-Chinese owner is a bit brusque, but a good BBQ chef - every night I was there they put on a BBQ. I was a bit bucks-down, couldn’t afford the seafood, but for 130b had an excellent marinated pork+salad+huge potato-in-foil which goes down as my new best meal ever in Thailand.
A note which could be useful - Siam’s accounting skills are shaky, so pay your meals as you go instead of putting them on account. It took me ages to straighten out my bill on leaving.

Practise your Thai first -

The only people here who speak English are the Sweedish tourists. The staff either speaks little English or not at all. Nice and simple bungalows are set on a beautiful beach lined with coconut trees. The water is crystal clear and the sand is powdery white. Eleven of the bungalows are right on the beach (try to get one of them for best view). Others are set further in the jungle. The restaurant offers great dinner but mediocre yet expensive breakfast and lunch. The Chinese manager is unfriendly if not rude but the rest of the staff is delightful. You can rent a kayak at a bargain price here or a motorbike (non-automatic) for 300B.
We went to the place next door instead -

We had booked this place, but when we arrived we really did not want to stay there. The bungalows were very old and dirty. The restaurant had no charm at all, and the staff did not speak english. Instead, we stayed at the place ''next door''.
