Good Feeling
First one on the island

What we say: 
Step off the boat and the unsigned restaurant of Good Feeling will be the first one you come to, and the business was also the first on Ko Wai. Good Feeling has seven beach bungalows about a five minute walk east along the coast and there's four more up the hill behind the restaurant. Rooms are rustic wooden huts, decorated with strings of shells. The beach bungalows are so close to the sea you might wonder if it's safe to step outside as the water moves in for the evening high tide, but don't worry. There are no fans in the bungalows and the toilets are squats. Interent is available here after 18:00, but type fast because it's 5B a minute.

The friendliest place in Thailand
The location of their beach front huts are fantastic. Smack bang on a small, deserted white sand beach, looking out on crystal clear water and Ko Chang in the distance. The beach is so quiet because it's not immediately accessible from the pier, so the day trippers all head to the beach outside Paradise Resort and leave the Good Feeling beach free for the long term guests. The staff at good feeling were so incredibly friendly and helpful. They lent us hammocks, candles and torches among other things. They have two lovely, dopey dogs (the ones at Paradise tended to pack up and run towards you at night -- not entirely pleasant) and enough kitties to form a kitty football (soccer) team. Sure, the beach huts are basic and if you are looking for something a little more fancy, then you may want to head to the hugely unsustainable Pakarang Resort. The Good Feeling bungalows have 'ensuite' loos (western or squat depending on the bungalow) with a shower, so you don't have to fumble around in the dark if nature calls in the middle of the night. I have to disagree with Waxybrushes with regards to the food. We thought the food was amazing, some of the best food we had in Thailand was at the Good Feeling restaurant. After you order your dishes, you'll here the banging and clinking of the pestle and mortar from the kitchen. The prices were also lower than the Paradise restaurant as well. This is the place to come if you came to Thailand for the scenery and tranquility, rather than the cheap luxury accommodation.

Gorgeous location
PROS: Basic huts but quiet and private. A lovely little spot. Be sure to bring your torch if eating after dark, the path can get jungly and they can turn out the lights at whim. CONS: Food not great at the family restaurant. Eat at Paradise or Coral next door. Without a fan, bungalows are sweltering at night during the hot season. NB: Rats chewed down corners of the mosquito net but scuttled around the rafters at night and stayed off my bed.

Get to know the family!
The husband-wife-her parent's team that run the place are truly wonderful people. My friend and I were the first guests to stay at Good Feeling-at that time unnamed. They had not opened but welcomed us and got food from the sister's place (It is the husband's sister that operates Koh Wai Paradise). The bungalows up the hill give one a bit of a sensation of being in the jungle. My friend was quite sick another time and the wife's mom took care of my friend and nursed her back to health.
