Samchai
HOTEL
$
( 0 3831 1800; Soi 10, Th Jermjompol; r 350B; )
More comfortable than other pier options,
this place seems to ramble forever. The rooms are functional, but clean and acceptable.
Siriwatana Hotel
( 0 3831 1037; Soi Siriwatana, Th Jermjompol; r 200B)
This wooden stilt hotel sits above the sea - in
fact, you can look straight through the squat toilet's hole to the ocean. It's very simple and
very cheap.
HOTEL

Seaview Sriracha Hotel
( 0 3831 9000; 50-54 Th Jermjompol; r 990-1900B; )
Rooms are large and comfortable; try
to score one at the back for views of the sea and piers and to avoid traffic noise.

both Thai- and Japanese-style.
Ko Loi Seafood Stalls
(dishes 40-160B; 10am-9pm)
Perched on the Ko Loi jetty, these humble spots specialise in
fresh seafood. There is no English menu, so just point and pick.

This evening market is small, but big
(Th Jermjompol & Th Si Racha Nakorn; dishes from 50B;
enough to feed a street-stall appetite.
Moom Aroy
(Soi 8, Th Jermjompol; dishes 60-420B; 11am-10pm)
Moom Aroy delivers on its name, which
means 'delicious corner'. This is
the
place to enjoy a Si Racha seafood meal with views of
