Description
Occupying the best stretch of sand on Bulon, Bulon-Lae Resort is one of the first sights on arrival. Still, the popularity of the place is mainly due to word of mouth from European tourists and the resort is often jam-packed with them. Bulon Lae is exceptionally popular with families who have young children, and prams parked along the beach are an all too common sight. The restaurant can seem like a playground with the kids cartwheeling about, though it's got a great sea view. The beach is a nice stretch of sand only getting rocky as it curves towards Pansand Resort. They've a wide selection of bungalows to choose from, ranging from clean wooden seaside villas to small bamboo shacks with grotty separate bathroom. All bungalows have fans, mosquito nets, balconies with 2 chairs, and come with towels and quality linens. There's good access to a swimmable beach and the volleyball net behind the restaurant is popular with the under-40 crowd. Internet is available for 3B/minute in the evenings once the electricity has been switched on.

My 800b second row bungalows was overpriced. It lacked toilet paper, fan, blanket, one window curtain, comp water, hammock & had a squat toilet + flawed mozzie net . Plusses incl size, clean except area under balcony, comfy queen size bed, plenty of storage, good mirror, sink with plug, soap dispenser, gd water pressure, nice balcony but plastic chairs made in 1970.
I moved to 450b beachside no bathroom job. Still overpriced. Big, clean, same bed as 800, great position with balcony overlooking beach and bay. But no towel, veranda light, fan, toilet paper, comp water, top-sheet, blanket or hammock. Outside bthrm blocks ranged from grotty to ok. Spacious grounds not well lit at night.
Restaurant big, okay food, most prices & service good. Lge beers 100b bit exxy. Cheap, big coffee.
White sand beach nice but badly eroded, much disappears high tide, but excellent starting 100m east and continuing in a curve for a further 300m.
Water varies from a bit shallow to ok at low tide.

If you love kids, if you go with family, you better choose this resort. This is the ideal place for you. You can leave your kids with other kids and the staffs are familiar with kids, they can take care of your kids when you need your own private. I stayed there alone and I don't really love kids!! The beach is very nice, the food from its restaurant is also good. But next time I go there, I will try another resort which is more quiet. I don't want to wake up very early morning because of the baby's screaming and crying sound.
And for 800 baht (beach front bungalow), I think it's a bit too expensive for a squat toilet. The rest is fine with me as its location is the best.

Main beach, Ko Bulon Lae
The Pansand Resort is by far the poshest place on little Bulon island. The resort staff sometimes seem to out-number the guests during low season, as most travellers are perhaps scared off by the steep prices. The resort is right on the beach which, although rockier than the sand near Bulon-Lae... more
