buggies. The two-storey mushroom-domed pavilions are filled with antique furniture and
every mod con - as well as the occasional private Jacuzzi, swimming pool or butler ser-
vice. Two restaurants grace Hat Phra Nang (one is half inside an illuminated cave) and
non-guests can stop in for pricey but divine Thai or Mediterranean meals.
Hat Ton Sai
Paasook
( 08 9648 7459; Hat Ton Sai; bungalows 200-900B)
Definitely the most stylish budget establish-
ment on Ton Sai: wooden bungalows have elongated floor-to-ceiling windows and con-
crete floors. The gardens are lush, management is friendly and there's a rustic-chic out-
door restaurant, perfect for steamy evenings.

Forest Resort
( 08 0143 8261; Hat Ton Sai; bungalows 400-1000B)
The concrete floor cells are mouldy and unin-
habitable, though the bamboo bungalows are slightly less scruffy. The best bet are the
wood-and-brick tiled bungalows with tiled floors and tin roofs. All are fan cooled when
electricity is running (5pm-6am daily).

;

This place is bright,
cheery and immaculate with mint-green walls, tiled floors and crisp sheets in lodge-like
environs. Some rooms are slightly musty, so sniff around.

Mama's Chicken
(Hat Ton Sai; 50-90B; 7:30am-10pm)
One of the more popular of the Ton Sai beach stalls offers
Western breakfasts, fruit smoothies and a range of cheap Thai dishes, including a mas-
saman tofu, which is a rarity. Grab a table and watch management engage in their daily
battle with a thieving mob of macaques, who do love their mangoes.
