Description
There's charmingly dilapidated, and then there's just plain dilapidated. It was hard to believe that this place was actually still in operation. The front porch of the 'restaurant' (that is, the place where they hang the laundry up to dry) looked like it had been hit by an asteroid. We asked if it was tsunami damage. But no. Just a lot of rain and a lack of maintenance. There's little in the way of a garden to view here, and it's not close to the water either. The bungalows are unattractively situated on a completely non-descript plot of land. If you're looking to slum it in the area, better to head to Koh Yao Beach Bungalows.

On Prunai Road, well away from the pier, this place is set up on a hill and there's an aging sala on the summit from which there are panoramic views. The plain wooden bungalows are up on stilts along the slope of the hill and while the place doesn't have much charm, the Muslim owners run the place... more
Koh Yao Beach Bungalow
65/2 Moo 3 Prunai, Ko Yao Yai
The bungalows here are on stilts above a marshy bog that floods nightly, when the waters of a nearby inlet rise high enough. The place has a sort of a dingy look, like some misbegotten spot on the Mississippi delta, infused with a similar esprit de swamp. Which is to say, it's an excellent, highly... more
