Description
Isolated on a hill above Jan Som Bay, Jansom Bay Bungalows offers rustic accommodation in a relaxed setting geared mostly toward thrifty travellers. Jansom Bay's basic wooden huts have slatted windows and are worn on the inside. They are situated amid hillside jungle where the constant hum of the cicadas eventually becomes so natural that the silence can be overwhelming when they stop. The larger units closer to the sea are a better choice but cost a bit more and still lack in quality. Furthermore, much of the view here is obscured by foliage. There is no beach access -- just a short stretch of rocky water access -- but neighbouring Charm Churee allows visitors to use their stretch of beach for 100B/day (children under eight are free). It is a ten-minute walk to Mae Haad down a dirt road, but motorbikes can be rented, and an on-call taxi service is also available. Tours and boat trips can also be booked through their reception.
