Hat Kaibae
Hat Kaibae has some of the island's best variety of accommodation, from boutique hotels
to budget huts and midrange bungalows. The trade-off is that the beach is only sandy in
parts.

Very chilled spot at the
far western end of the beach. All bungalows are fan-only. The 900B beachfront bunga-
lows are a great deal.

Lemon-yellow bungalows have
cheery bathrooms and pose peacefully beside the sea. Listen to the gentle lapping surf
while the kids construct mega-cities in the sand. The fan bungalows are overpriced.
