Treehouse

A new hippy hideaway

What we say:

What to do when your secluded bungalow business is swamped by a wave of high-end development? You build a new one, of course. The team behind the long-popular Treehouse in Lonely Beach have established Long Beach as the new budget mecca for Ko Chang. With 150 thatched huts and just like the old Treehouse, there is a funky restaurant and hang-out area with non-hippy prices (you're paying twice as much for drinks here as you would at 7-eleven) and hammocks and triangular cushions aplenty. There's no fans in the rooms and only electricity after 18:00. Staff enforce a strict ban on candles. The food gets mixed reports, so it may be worth taking some provisions with you. This place is one of those places people either love or hate. The beach is a stunning spot, but it's extremely remote, with more than its fair share of mosquitoes. Also worth considering you're potentially going to be kept awake at night by one of the many mini-gatherings around the bungalows... and that's if the bar has shut. For those looking to let their hair down and dance round the campfire by night, and chill on a cool beach by day; ideal. If you want souvenir shops, a tasty spaghetti carbonara and a boogie in an air-con disco, look elsewhere. Taxi available from Lonely Beach to Long Beach at 10am daily, 100B.

great location; surly staff

The most-beautiful spot I've ever stayed in Thailand. Beach-side bungalow was quite nice, with a fantastic view. Wouldn't describe it as a hippy atmosphere, but other guests were friendly. Unfortunately, some (not all) of the staff were, by far, the surliest I encountered in all my Thailand travels. It made going for meals a bit of downer; you had to deal with crap attitudes and uneven service anytime you wanted to eat or drink.
