Rocky Resort, on the eastern end of Thian Ok Bay, offers a mixed bag of bungalow options. Their cheapest rooms, mostly lining the rocks just above the water, are quite shabby and some appear to have been abandoned altogether. Some of these rooms don't have mosquito nets and have adjoining balconies offering no privacy. Some are in better shape, and the newer deluxe rooms, surrounded by trees and colourful flowers, are a little larger and in better condition. Just about every room at Rocky Resort has a view of the beach and the bay. The staff here is very eager to please and offer inexpensive snorkel rentals (50B/day). The charming restaurant set on the water looks very classy and offers some great food but is easy on the budget. Rocky Resort remains a popular spot among backpackers and is the only budget option on the beach.

* Travelfish researchers visit and review properties on an anonymous basis. By that we mean they show up, in person, and pretend to be either be a potential guest, or somebody looking for a room for a friend or relative. Where possible the researcher will inspect at least a couple of rooms. The rates you see above are what either the desk staff told us they were, or what were in the brochure when they just told us to quit bugging them and look in the brochure.
