Description
With a variety of bungalow options to choose from at fine prices, Starlight is a decent value, although the architecture is not particularly attractive, and the huts offer no views. This friendly family-run spot has rows of bungalows lining a grassy lawn not far from the beach, at the back of which sit the older, more decrepit bungalows -- the cheapest in the area. All are clean and spacious with tile bathrooms. The main distinguishing feature here is the Starlight Supermarket positioned on the beach next to the little restaurant creating quite the eyesore. It would have been wiser to have built the supermarket away from the beach, to allow for some beach-front rooms, but instead it's the crowning glory, selling a good mix of groceries and souvenirs along with the standard array of kitsch trash.

Dolphin
Thong Nai Pan Yai, Ko Pha Ngan
Dolphin is the coolest spot with the most relaxing atmosphere on Thong Nai Pan Yai. The wooden island-style huts are nestled in a very dense garden of palms, flowers and other greenery. These fairly basic yet sturdy structures have wooden shutter windows and immaculately clean. While they provide... more



White Wind
Thong Nai Pan Yai, Ko Pha Ngan
At the northern end of Thong Nai Pan Yai, White Wind is cut off from the beach by a canal that can be crossed most of the time with minimal sloshing but can be a real pain when the water levels are higher. If you don't feel like a slosh, take the road past the school and temple to get here. The... more



Dreamland Resort
Thong Nai Pan Yai, Ko Pha Ngan
The only dive resort on Thong Nai Pan Yai, this resort's Dreamland Diver is a fully-stocked professional dive shop offering training and recreational diving opportunities. The bungalows are good value with fan or air-con available, but they're somewhat close together, clustered around a green... more



Pingjun Resort
Thong Nai Pan Yai, Ko Pha Ngan
A good spot for backpackers, Pingjun has a number of cheap wooden huts on Thong Nai Pan Yai beach. The old wooden affairs are pretty well worn and definitely not high-quality lodging -- a few look like they might blow over in the next big storm -- but most are passable and in a good location.... more



Nice Beach Resort
Thong Nai Pan Yai, Ko Pha Ngan
A decent choice for budget travellers, Nice Beach's bungalows are affordable but certainly nothing special. Old, somewhat rundown wooden huts sit near the beach and spread inland in several rows interspersed with larger (and sturdier) concrete bungalows that are quite ugly but more comfortable... more



Pop Bungalows
Thong Nai Pan Yai, Ko Pha Ngan
At the far southern end of the Thong Nai Pan Yai, Pop doesn't have the best spot for swimming, but the sand here is fine for sunbathing, and there's not much foot traffic to deal with. Pop has some very cheap, old wooden bungalows with all the wear and tear one would expect for these prices. Pop is... more
