Description
The name may seem unusual, but it will make sense once you see the place: the bungalows here are set along the edge of the school's football field, and the owner Don is the head teacher at the nearby village school. The bungalows here have been built in single row on a large, cleared plot of land, so appear isolated and exposed all at once. The bungalows are all nearly identical and on the small side, but are fine for single travellers or couples. Floors are lino-lined, but plenty of crawling bugs manage to get in through cracks in the woven walls and you'll be glad there's a mosquito net. All of the bungalows have attached bathrooms with cold showers and western toilets. School bungalows are the cheapest place to stay near the beach, and can fill up during the high season. There isn't exactly a reception so be patient and wait for Don to show up -- she's usually not too far away. School Bungalows are open year-round.

Ao Panka Noi, Ko Bulon Lae
Scattered down a hillside overlooking Panka Noi Bay, these bungalows give a sense of seclusion from lower-lying areas of the island.

Panka Bay, Ko Bulon Lae
The natural beauty of Panka Bay attracts a stream of loyal visitors to the Panka Bay Resort. Perhaps because the mangrove-lined beach is rocky and less than perfect for swimming, there are fewer families here and more long-term guests who come to Bulon seeking peace and quiet.
