Ao Nuan
GUESTHOUSE
$$
(Ao Nuan; r 600-2500B; )
The inventor of chillaxin' on Ko Samet, quirky Ao Nuan has both
very simple wooden bungalows and a few posh ones with air-con and sea views. No reser-
vations. Nor is there any internet access; you hang out in the attached restaurant and talk
to people. Old school!
Pudsa Bungalow
( 0 3864 4030; Ao Phutsa; r 600-1700B; )
The nicer bungalows with beach views are
trimmed with driftwood, and look their age now, but this is still a good place to kick back
and listen to the sound of the sea.

Ao Wong Deuan & Ao Thian (Candlelight Beach)
Ferries run between Ao Wong Deuan and Ban Phe (140B return), with increased services
at the weekend.
To get to Ao Thian, catch a ferry to Ao Wong Deuan and walk south over the headland.
It's also a quick walk from here to the west side of the island - look for the marked trail
on Ao Thian.
Blue Sky
GUESTHOUSE
$
( 08 9936 0842; Ao Wong Deuan; r 800-1200B; )
A rare budget spot on Ao Wong Deuan, Blue
Sky has beaten-up bungalows set on a rocky headland. Though we love cheapies, budget-
eers will get better value on other beaches.
