National Park Accommodation
A good range of options, but hard mattresses
National Park Office, Ko Tarutao
Satun Province
Description
All accommodations on Ko Tarutao are run by the National Park office. They provide a range of options of which camping is the cheapest. High-quality two-person tents can be rented and pitched on prime spots along the white sand, and it's a relatively comfortable night's sleep on the beach. Bungalows without bathrooms or fans are the next step up, and contain little other than four hard mattresses on the floor. The shared bathrooms are simple but well-maintained with sinks, squat toilets, and cold showers. Fan bungalows with two beds are a popular choice for pairs of travellers who don't feel like roughing it. These recently-renovated bungalows are a big step up and have shiny hardwood floors, a desk and chair, and a wooden rack to hang your wet clothes. Though the beds are well-constructed, mattresses and pillows are terribly hard and you'll probably wake up sore. The attached bathrooms have clean new tiles, sinks, mirrors, western toilets, and cold-water showers. Big 'official Thai parks' towels are provided, and toilet paper can be purchased at the shop near the pier. Family-style bungalows are an option for groups of three to four travellers, and are essentially a pair of fan bungalows under the same roof. Each has its own bathroom, and there's a porch with benches and a table outside. Park staff kindly ask guests to conserve water use during peak shower times in the morning, and water pressure can slow to a trickle. Electricity is switched on from 18:00 -- 22:30.
