Tiewson Bungalow
Best value on Ko Yao Yai

What we say: 
This Thai-run outfit offers similar accommodation to Yao Yai Island Resort -- thatch bungalows that are basic but very clean and well-maintained. All the rooms have TVs and fridges, and there is a restaurant on the premises. It's on the eastern shore, which means no sunsets, but otherwise there's yet another beautiful stretch of beach and water you can swim in, at least at high tide. In terms of what you get for the price, it's the best value on Ko Yao Yai.

Lovely place
The small bungalows are some of the nicest I've stayed in -- large and clean. Nice beach; good for really long walks as well as sitting around. Good food. Nice people.

All by its lonesome
TIEWSON BUNGALOW is all by itself at the southern end of the very long To La Ma beach in the NE of the island. The beach here does a slow curve for about 4km to terminate in a looong sand spit which reaches across to within 1km Ko Yao Noi. I jogged a few km up the beach each morning before - no huts or villages. The main road is abt 200m behind the trees and scattered houses are along this. High tide at Tiewson goes right up to the sea wall. Lowest tide leaves 100m of sand (not mud) and really shallow water for another 60m. Water less clear in these northern areas. My 2nd row garden bungalow was 800 without brekka but the rack rate says 1500 with brekka. This room was upmarket from flash-packer - more lower-midrange, with aircon, fidge, TV. Spacious, spotless. Glass and timber bifold doors, polished floors, lots of storage, big indoor/outdoor bathroom with western toilet, hot water, bidet gun, towels+soap+shampoo+tissues, good mirrors. Big veranda, heavily landscaped garden manicured intensively by staff, neat tap for sandy feet at foot of stairs. Value? Umm, despite such good facilities I’m thinking the list price is a tad high. But I don’t have too much experience with midrange places and I confess I paid 1500 odd for an inferior but beachfront bungalow on Long Beach Phi Phi in LOW SEASON. Thing is, I got the impression from the restaurant meal choices that this place is set-up to attract higher earning locals from Phuket. Nevertheless all is not lost for budget travellers - the 3rd row had 2 traditional budget type bungalows with bathrooms for 600 no brekka before haggling. They were building new upmarket accommodation at beachfront including a huge family place with a big central living area and 2 double bedrooms with bathrooms each side. Huge verandas. Tiewson’s restaurant has nice views of southern Ko Yao Noi, some of the southern Phang Nga Bay karst islets and the Krabi coast. Food around 20% dearer than the average budget bungalow places. Some anomalies - small Chang exxy at 70, big Chang inexxy at 90! My notes also say the stir-fry chicken I had on the last night was one of my top 5 Thai meals ever.
