Great value and very laid-back

What we say:

Beam is the most peaceful and quiet spot on Haad Thian. Located inland toward the north, the bungalows here are privately spaced around a grassy field and along a shaded hillside. The good-sized, well-maintained wooden huts are excellent value, ranging in size and price. Houses with kitchenette and sleeping room for four people are available for a good price in addition to smaller double units. Cherry, the woman in charge is very friendly, and the restaurant is very laid-back and serves some wonderful Thai cuisine. Internet, including wireless, is also available here. Sorry, fasters, you'll pay double to stay here if you don't plan on eating, so stick to the Sanctuary.

Great value

Beam is located mainly on the hillside around 200m from the beach - better than average budget bungalows in a nice garden setting. I was astounded when they offered a near new 100b outside-bathroom place but needing a bathroom for clothes washing I went for an adjacent 250b one. Both above were on the flat just before the hillside - similar hillside places were 50b dearer - by far the best value of 6 different places I stayed in low season 2010. My bungalow was a trad-style split bamboo wall/thatch roof job, plenty of room for 2+gear, could fit 3. Comfy king bed, good net. Good lights. Good water in bathroom but a bit dim when generator not working. Squat toilet, towel supplied but no soap, no toilet paper. Big veranda with hammock. Attractive split level restaurant with panoramic outlook over park-like area. Excellent food at prices maybe 10%-20% higher than typical budget restaurant but sevings very generous. Good service from very friendly family. Had Thian a nice little beach with very relaxed atmosphere, surprisingly good snorkelling-coral right off the beach.

Stayed and chilled

For budget bungalows these are very nice. The first few bungalows have ocean glimpses and the rest are tucked up into the hillside. In low season there's no power for a few hours a day as generator is turned off like most of the places. High season if it's busy power all day. Friendly staff and the food in the restaurant is good. One of the picks on the bay
