Good Basic Huts, Cheap for Samui - 
By mrandmrsburke ( total comments: 25

Still getting over the shock of 700 baht for a basic hut with air con, but prices are high in this part of Samui, it is not really a backpacker area.
Charlie's is clean and very close to the beach, the area is pretty quiet at night and the bathrooms okay, cold water showers though!
Food was good!! And the staff helpful if a little too laid-back at times, but certainly not rude or grumpy. Best bet if you want to save the pennies and stay in Chaweng. Very well located on the main strip.
good in 1999 -

Lucky Mother
Central Chaweng Beach, Ko Samui
If you're not fussed about creature comforts, Lucky Mother has old style wooden huts running down to their small beachfront restaurant. You're talking seriously no frills here, with basic bathrooms and super-soft mattresses, but for the money, in this part of Chaweng, these huts are a steal.... more
Best Beach Bungalows
Central Chaweng Beach, Ko Samui
With a bunch of old style wooden bungalows, Best Beach certainly isn't the best place to stay, but if you're on a tight budget, it may well be a cheap place to stay. Huts are simple wooden affairs with basic bathrooms and balconies. There is a small restaurant on the beach. Air-con huts are not... more
Green Guesthouse
156/7 Moo 2 Chaweng Beach, Ko Samui
Green Guesthouse is located off the beach but still on the beach side of the Chaweng Road. The handful of rooms are fan cooled or air-con and, even in peak season are good tight-budget value for such a central location. In high season reservations are recommended. Rooms and bathrooms are clean and... more
