San Tavee New Rest House
( 0 7750 2147; 4 Soi Sala Daeng 3; r 250-300B)
Only four rooms, all with shared bathrooms.
They're small, well-kept and set around a garden. It feels more like a homestay than a
guesthouse.
GUESTHOUSE

View Resort
( 0 7756 0214; Hat Thung Wua Laen; r 650-1100B; )
Sleepy bungalow operation outside town
that's right on the beach. The restaurant is pretty good too.

Morakot Hotel

;
102-112 Th Tawee Sinka; r 490-890B; )
Spread across two
buildings, the rooms here are characterless but modern and clean, making it a solid
midrange option.
Chumphon Cabana Resort &
Diving Centre
( 0 7756 0245;
www.cabana.co.th
; Hat Thung Wua Laen; r 1650-3000B; )
The most pleasant
resort on the beach, despite the rather plain bungalows, Chumphon Cabana has done a
great job upgrading its environmental profile. Inspired by the King's environmental sus-
tainability speech, the owner reconfigured the resort to look to the past for instructions on
how to be green. Now, the grounds are devoted to raising the resort's own food with rice
fields, hydroponic vegetable gardens and a chicken farm. Waste water is recycled through
water- hyacinth ponds. If you don't stay here, at least try the homegrown food at
Rabieng
Talay
, the resort's affiliated restaurant.
