Description
Once a backpacker hangout, Charm beach has recently become more family-oriented with enough warm hospitality to share around. A plethora of swings and other playground equipment set just off the beach will keep the kids happy while mom and dad lounge around the pool or enjoy this decent stretch of beach. Plenty of shade from large trees provides an escape from the heat, but sunbathers will enjoy the sun deck and sand as well. The lodgings consist of good-sized, spacious wooden bungalows which, while placed fairly close together, are very well-kept and charmingly decorated. Very well-priced fan huts are available near the beach around the garden as are larger air-con rooms, and very spacious newer rooms are available poolside. This is a fine place for all sorts of travellers from budget to midrange, but with kids of their own, the owners have geared the place toward families with youngsters.

White West
44/148 Moo 1, Ao Thong Sala, Ko Pha Ngan
White West is a charming little place with a pleasant atmosphere. This setup is close enough to the pier that it's a fine choice for those catching an early boat, but it's also a relaxed beach front spot suitable for just hanging out. The huts are basic but fresh, clean and well-maintained. Thai... more
Mellow Beach
Ao Thongsala, Ko Pha Ngan
Formerly Or-rawan Resort, Mellow Beach is an appropriate name for this chilled out backpacker spot.

Tropicana
Ao Thong Sala, Ko Pha Ngan
Tropicana has a handful of large, comfortable bungalows lining a large open sand-lot just off the beach. While the concrete bungalows are quiet handsome with their Thai design and high pitched roofs, the grounds are plain besides a few plants and do little for the atmosphere. They also lack a... more
Phrueksa Beach Resort
31/10 Moo 1, Ao Thong Sala, Ko Pha Ngan
The closest spot to the east of Thong Sala pier, Phrueksa has a slightly classier feel than other setups on this stretch of beach and the swimming pool is handy as the beach isn't great for swimming. A sundeck and large sandy zone border the beach and are ideal for sunbathers, but a retaining wall... more
Sunflower Bungalow
Ao Thong Sala, Ko Pha Ngan
The friendly owner of Sunflower, Mr Tee pities the fool who doesn't know good value when he sees one. The inexpensive rooms are very spacious and well-built concrete affairs that are clean though quite simple. Air-con units sit closest to the beach and cost the same as comparable rooms with fans... more
