Sai Thong
A wonderfully serene spot
End of the hill road
Krabi Province
Description
This place is just getting back up and running after the post-tsunami drop in tourism ran it into the ground. It's the last place along the 'high road' before it leads up and over the headland to Railay West. The bungalows here are very remote and basic, but it's a wonderfully serene spot in a beautiful thick of woods. A great place to get away from it all. It's a long hike to get here anyway you approach the place, but it's the cheapest place we found on the beach, and we were surprised to find private bathrooms in all the bungalows for this price.

Viking Bungalows
Ton Sai beach, north of Mambo Bungalows
It's hard to tell one bungalow from the next along the beach -- they are pretty much the same standard-issue, garden variety bungalows. Nothing fancy, no decorations, just a wooden hut with a bed and a fan. Viking Bungalows is pretty poorly marked and it's hard to tell which bungalows belong to... more
Pakarang Bungalows
Ao Ton Sai Beach
This is one of the first places along the beach as you arrive from Railay West. They offer cheap, basic bungalows and run a small restaurant on the beach. Electricity is only available from 18:00 to 24:00. Don't expect a lot of prompt service or amenities around here, but the rooms are quite... more
Pa Sook Resort
Northern end of the hill road, Ao Ton Sai
This is one of the first places along the road at the north end, where it departs from the beach and winds up into the hills. The accommodation here is pretty basic -- spare and unfurnished -- but it's a step up in terms of comfort from the places along the beach. In the high season, though, it's... more
