Ao Sane Bungalows

Budget beach shacks with charm

What we say

Backpackers rejoice -- budget accommodations do exist in this part of Phuket! Scattered along the entire length of rocky Ao Sane you'll find a dozen or so cheap beach bungalows. The bungalows are fan-cooled and you won't find any TVs or mini-bars here, but they are right on the beach and have balconies with seaviews that could compete with the highest-priced of resorts. Some of the older bungalows are looking run-down and have cruddy bathrooms, but the newer wood-panelled bungalows are more solid and even have a hot shower. The staff are usually too busy going about their own business to bother much with selling rooms, so ask for the keys and check out a few before settling in. You're pretty isolated here -- but that's part of the charm. There's a restaurant on premises doing cheap Thai food and snorkels can be rented for 150B.

By that we mean they show up, in person, and pretend to be either be a potential guest, or somebody looking for a room for a friend or relative. Where possible the researcher will inspect at least a couple of rooms. The rates you see above are what either the desk staff told us they were, or what were in the brochure when they just told us to quit bugging them and look in the brochure.
