Bailan Hut

Chill out zone

What we say:

Promoting their bungalows as a chill out zone is just the right idea for these tightly packed basic bungalows. Made of wood or bamboo, they all vary in decorative detail, surrounded by verdant garden. Each has a fan and floor mattress, some with shared bathroom facilities. For a bit of extra view and the breeze take the higher treehouse style huts on stilts -- by far the better option here. A restaurant/bar on the premises is a great place to hang out and relax. The location is wonderfully remote, with this being one of the top spots for sunset views. A good option for long term visitors. If there are no staff around, contact Joy restaurant in Lonely Beach; it's the same management.

Grew on me

At first this place was a bit polarising. The access road gives way to a sizable dirt parking area which because of overnight rain was pretty muddy and daggy. Then the guy said the price was 500 for one night, 400 a longer stay, which was no great deal compared to Family Hut which was booked out. There is no beach at Bai Lan bay (well I think the midrange joint may have small patches of sand) just stones - and when I arrived it was low tide making for a restaurant perched on piers over pretty ordinary looking stones. But hey, on the positive side, the bungalow area was heavily landscaped almost to the level of some of those real nice places in Bali, the fan bungalows themselves were super clean faux-rattan and thatched roofed jobs with lacquered timber highlights, funky brick and tile indoor-outdoor bathrooms with water pouring from bamboo pipes (they also have 600b aircon bungalows which seemed similar in style although with concrete walls), they supplied towels, toilet paper soap and shampoo and the restaurant was super cool once the tide came up and water went under the piers. Food was pretty good and at normal budget bungalow prices plus they did their own baking which meant super thick slices of toast at brekka and even saw tezza order a pizza for dinner, something I’ve never done in Thailand. The owner, his young family and staff were pretty laid back. So I warmed to the joint and decided to make it my base on Chang.

Solid

The accomodations on this island, particularly on the SE coast between Lonely Beach and Bang Bao change rapidly due to the tourist boom. The description above is outdated. This place has been expanded and the bungalows appear to have been upgraded and are quite comfortable. The restaurant/deck is right on the water for great sunset views. You can take out a kayak (no charge) and go paddling up and down the coast or across the water to a nearby island. Staff is friendly. During high season, I got a fan room for 400B - a reduced rate because I stayed 3 nights. It's regularly 600B. A solid value if you stay several nights.
