Lola Bungalows
Small inexpensive huts

Prachuap Khiri Khan Province
Tel: (032) 69 1963
Description
A mere stone's throw from the Coral Hotel, Lola Bungalows is the premiere destination for a whole different clientele. The small, inexpensive bungalows with squat toilets all face the water. It's the place to be if you just want to swing in a hammock all day, and enjoy the simple life. Evenings here are as mellow and relaxing as can be. The staff provide a lot of local colour and keep you well fed. Good deals offered on long stays. Recommended.

Lola's is perfect from getting away from it all! You feel as if someone has washed ashore and built these little shacks from driftwood on this little piece of paradise! The shacks are very basic however this does not matter as the view from you bed looks out the door, past the hammock on the veranda, to the waves crashing on the shore! JUST MAGIC! Staff are very friendly and food is cheap! Would recommend to everyone.

after reading the below review i was quite sad to find out that lola had passed away a few months ago. the bungalows are now under the care of her sons and grandchildren who were warm and cheerful. the beach isnt so great in july (it was full of smelly algae) and i recommend using flipflops in the bathroom but lola's family made our stay well worth it. and we were only charged less than 2000 baht for a 3 day 2 night stay which included food, drinks, and motorbike rental. why not bar is only a stone's throw away.

Basic and great. Some bungalows have western toilets, some have none.
Lola is a delightful old ldy. Food is good, and very cheap. Whisky, ice and soda delivered to your veranda. Buy mussels at the market in town, and they cook them for you. Motor bike rental by the day or the hour. Her sister has some gorgeous new bungalows on the beach between Wa Ree and Daeng's, b300. And next door to Coco Bar.

13 Moo 1, Bang Saphan (on the road to the Coral Hotel)
One of the off-the-beach resorts, this friendly and efficiently run enterprise has comfortable, spotlessly clean bungalows in a garden setting and a good Thai-French restaurant.

Wa Ree Bungalows
Just down the road from Lola, Bang Saphan
Just down the road from the Lola, the Wa Ree offers a similar experience, but the bunglows are concerete, not wood. They aren't quite as charming, but they more than make up for it by being wonderfully cool all day long. The line of bunglows is perpendicular to the beach, so the you'll have to look... more
Bamboo Bungalows
Next to Lola Bungalows, Bang Saphan
If the Lola is full, there are nine, rickety, bamboo bungalows next door. They aren't very comfortable to move around in, and the place doesn't have a lot of atmosphere. Stay here while waiting for something to open up at the Lola, or head north to one of the other bungalow... more
Dang Bungalows
On the beach, 1km north of the Wa Ree, Bang Saphan
If you really want to get away from the people who are getting away from it all, even further north along the beach, you'll find Dang Bungalows, sitting all by itself. The bungalows are very similar to the ones at the Wa... more
