Description
If you're seeking simplicity and seclusion, look no further than Jungle Huts. In an unexpected location half-way along the forested trail to Mango Bay, Jungle Huts are a great bargain so long as you don't mind the long walk to Bulon's white-sand beach. The bungalows are solidly built upon concrete foundations and have a small porch with a plastic chair or two. All bungalows have attached bathrooms built out of bricks with have Western toilets and cold showers. Inside you'll find a mattress on the floor, but little else. There's no fan, but since electricity is limited to a few hours at night it doesn't really matter. There's no phone number for Jungle Huts, so cross your fingers and just show up. There's a small restaurant with a very limited menu (fried rice or fried noodles?), and Jungle Huts shuts down during the rainy season.

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

Near the main beach, Ko Bulon Lae
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.

Panka Bay Resort
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. The bungalows here... more
