Our top 10 places to stay in and around Bang Saphan Yai
Funky styling
Just to the north of Lola Bungalows, on a very narrow strip of land, CoCo offers very smart concrete rooms with a Mediterranean feel.
They’re glass fronted with comfortable beds, flatscreen TV, WiFi and air-con throughout. They’ve also got an unusual (for Thailand) shared rooftop area with latticework for shade. While it felt they weren’t making the best use of this area, there’s nothing to stop you dragging a deckchair up top for a bit of hideaway time with a book. The beachfront bar is one of only two real beach bars along here so can get quite busy as the sun sets. This is a good flashpacker option and as long as you don’t want a swimming pool, this is a fine option. There is a restaurant on site, but it wasn’t open when we visited.
