Ao Yai Ma
Friendly and isolated

What we say: 
Ao Yai is the most isolated bungalow operation on the island at the very eastern tip of the island. It has a dedicated group of visitors who come to stay each year, attracted by the peace and quiet and excellent snorkeling at this end of the island. Bungalows are clustered around a hill, at the top of which sits the friendly restaurant. Bungalows are baisc and look a tad fresher than those at the other three cheaper places on the island.

Good location, rooms need beds!
Most of Ko Wai is completely overwhelmed by day-trippers from Ko Chang, but Ao Yai Ma is in a quieter spot, and close to a small but beautiful beach that's the best on the island. The resort itself is no great shakes; I had a room with shared bath for 200B, that was basically closet-sized with a mat on the floor and windows that couldn't closed. Bathrooms were sandy and dirty, not often cleaned. Looked into upgrading to a bungalow, only to find that they had very cramped bathrooms, and you still slept on a mat on the floor! Why no beds? Food is OK, and the place is OK too. However, I did have some stuff stolen out of my bags, courtesy of those unclosable windows!

Rechristened
Unless I'm mistaken, and this is the resort that's about five minutes walk past Pakarang, this place is now known as Granma Hut. Didn't stay here, but the accommodation looked pretty basic and the restrauant didn't have signs in English. It's pretty obvious this place is mainly geared to Thais rather than farangs. It has a nice enough beach, everyone we saw in the water was Thai or at least of SE Asian appearance.
