Bow Thong Resort
Not as luxurious as prices suggest

What we say: 
Bow Thong is a midrange setup located at the north end of Haad Sairee. They offer a wide range of prices based on size and location, but their more expensive rooms are a bit overpriced, probably due to the resort being sandwiched between the two fanciest setups on Sairee. They do offer a few affordable, very simple wooden huts and their cheaper air-con bungalows are good value, particularly given their proximity to the beach and quiet location. The rooms do have good-sized decks, with a table and chairs. The more expensive bungalows are priced comparably to much higher quality accommodation located nearby. The overall feel is very relaxed and the environment is tidy and well kept. The little bar and restaurant slowly serves simple eats and offers free beachside loungers. If you are staying for a few days and can contend with the indifferent reception staff, it's worth bargaining for a few hundred baht discount a night.

Nicest part of beach, good if low season prices
We got one of the 600B bungalows for 400B which was a very good deal for a clean, spacious and secure room (in terms of the other five bungalows I checked out on the beach). It is also a really location as the beach is quiet, they have nice beach chairs and there is still plenty of beach at high tide. We didn't have any problems with the restaurant as the previous reviewers did - the staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was good, maybe a bit on the expensive side.

OK bungalow, BAD restaurant
Our bungalow was OK for it's price (550 B) but they didn't clean during our 4 night stay. It has a good location and is on a nice part of Had Sairee. But be warned - do not eat here! The restaurant is horrible with totally incompetent staff. We waited for 45 min for very bad, tasteless food. We actually saw that 'aha' moment when our server, who had been AWOL most of the time we were waiting, realized he had flaked on our drink order. It was actually funny to watch several of the staff congregate to figure out how to make our drinks since the guy tending bar had wandered off as well. We vowed never to eat there again but unfortunately we were being picked up for a snorkeling trip and didn't have time to go someplace else. We only asked for yogurt with fruit and OJ and told them of our time crunch. It took them over 20 minutes to bring us yogurt. We never got the OJ. The driver was kind enough to wait as we had to down our food. 6 stars for the bungalow but 0 stars for the restaurant

Very good stay here!
I was very pleased with the hut that i got here.. we turned up on the day and had two huts available.. fantastic views of sairee beach swinging on your hammock on the balcony of your hut. Granted all that is in there is a bed (double) and a shower room... You do get a ceiling fan and electricity points etc... The owner here wont haggle on price per night.. we stayed in the bungalow in January and it was 850B per night.. not too bad... will deffinately go back there! I reckon this resort is on the best part of the beach!
