Description
Thong Tapan is a fine midrange choice at the northern end of Thong Nai Pan Noi. Only a few of its 34 stone and wood bungalows are on the beach, with the majority a good distance up a well-shaded hill in too different areas, one with classic island style wooden huts, the other more privately-spaced along large boulders with stone and concrete huts, some built in pairs. The two units at the base of the hill look like large log cabins and are more spacious and comfortable again. All rooms are clean, well-maintained and sturdy. The service is also quite good, providing money exchange, internet access and travel assistance. The Krua Tapan Restaurant on the beach has an average menu although the vegetarian selection is quite good. This is a comfortable choice, but the beach is better toward the centre, and other guesthouses are available with bungalows much closer to the sea.

Still excellent but pricey -

I stayed two times at Thong Tapan resort in 2001 and 2007. Accommodation as good as ever but the prices have skyrocketed (avg. 700-840 for a fan bungalow).
Consider the excellent Baan Tapai Noi restaurant on the east of the beach for dinner, much better food than its western counterpart plus they have a nice beach bar.

We paid 700B for a fan bungalow at Thong Tapan. Lovely setting, great beach but the restaurant isn't good - ok for breakfast but for dinner, head to the place next door!
not bad... -

We stayed only two nights as no air-con, and we were used to that. We were wanting the bay suite (the best) but you have to book ahead, that would have been fab. The wooden huts are picturesque, and the restaurant nice and friendly.
Best bungalows on the beach -

High season price is 500B. Easily the best bungalows on the beach. If you've got the cash, the bay-view house is recommended, but a good idea to book ahead.

Located up the rocky and tree-shaded hill at the far northern end of Thong Nai Pan Noi, Baan Tapannoi has the cheapest accommodation in this area. This is because the simple and rather shabby wooden huts are uphill well away from the water, though the stunning views of the beach and the sea... more
