Laem Thian Resort

Ugly but friendly

What we say: 2.5 stars

The only setup on Laem Thian Bay's small, rough beach, Laem Thian Resort is a totally secluded place with affordable rooms and individual bungalows for thrifty and midrange travellers. The huge monstrosity they've built on the beach will spoil your first impression if you arrive by boat; it's home to the huge airy restaurant and 10 basic rooms upstairs. The Thai and Western cuisine on offer is good and portions generous, and the views across the bay from the restaurant are good. The bungalows vary in size, quality and comfort level but most are in fair shape and provide spectacular views -- unfortunately, the unsightly restaurant is always in view as well. The staff are excellent and Ping Pong will make sure your stay is one to remember. Snorkels (50B/day) are available at reception for those who wish to swim with resident turtles and black-tip reef sharks. Recommended for an inexpensive, secluded getaway.
