Paradise Lost
Paradise found

What we say: 
Owned and managed by Wally, a laidback and fascinating Hawaiian who sailed the Pacific for 30 years, Paradise Lost is set in a clearing directly in the middle of the island, about two-minutes' walk from the beach. The ring of thatched bungalows resembles a small island village, and the atmosphere is unique and full of character. While their 250 baht dorms are a thing of the past, they still offer basic wooden thatch-roofed bungalows with shared cold-water bathrooms. Each feature comfortable beds set high above the floor, draped in mosquito nets and covered in adorable sheets with pictures of baby dolphins. Larger fan bungalows with queen size beds are also on offer, each with an enormous, clean and fully-roofed private cold water bathroom. Paradise Lost's restaurant is one of the best of the Trang islands, and if you get bored of the beach you can always take a seat with Wally and soak up the quirky wisdom of a seasoned sailor. Recommended.

Wally's web site
We went back to Paradise Lost in November for another week as this place is a hidden gem. The service remains great, Wally added 2 more new large bungalows and more landscaping to the gardens were done. For those wishing to check out more details, Wally has a new web site http://kokradan.wordpress.com/ and Tezza has heaps of information on his site: http://tezzasthaiinfo.blogspot.com/2007/05/ko-kradan.html http://readerstripretports.blogspot.com/2010/01/ko-kradan-by-voo888doo-napster.html

Highly recommend
Just back from Paradise lost, spent a week there, loved it, the resort is secluded from others, in the clearing, not on the beach, very peaceful. Bungalows are clean, cozy and only 9 of them. If you have lots of luggage, Wally will pick it up by the small motorcycle with side car. Wally can help with the transportation to the island from Trang or other places. The cost of meal per person is approx 200tb, but the portions we so big that we needed only 1 meal between 2 of us Wally can organize 4 island snorkeling tour visiting: Emerald cave Ko Chuk, Ko Ma and Ko Ngai, 2400TB/ longboat, so if you get more people together, it'll be cheaper, well worth the money. From the resort there is access to Sunset beach for heavenly sunset and South beach for very good snorkeling right off the beach. Wally looks like he does not pay attention but that's very deceiving, he knows what's going on, will ask you every morning if everything is OK, make sure his manager books anything you requested, just the perfect manager, not in your face, but making sure all's running smoothly. He runs generators 24hrs, there's TV, very cold beer, water, homemade ice cream and lights around the resort. If we go back to Thailand, this would be our first choice of accommodation on Ko Kradan.

Nice place
I stayed 3 nights there, would have stayed longer if it weren´t so windy. I got a bed in the ''dorm'' for THB250. The ''dorm'' has no walls, so don't expect any privacy. No lockers. shared bathrooms with frogs :-). Food is good but expensive. Wally entertained us with his stories. Lots of dogs there. The guesthouse is located inland, between the main beach and Sunset beach. Ko Kradan is one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand.
