; Ao Ngam Kho; r 750B; )
One the best budget op-
tions around. Agreeably rustic huts perch on a forested hillside over a reasonable beach.
Some are bigger than others. They rent kayaks (250B per day) and the restaurant is fab-
ulous.
Happy Days Guesthouse
( 08 7144 5945;
www.kohkood-happydays.com
; r 450-750B; )
Laidback joint halfway between
Hat Khlong Yao and Ao Ngam Khao. Rooms are spread over two floors, there are ham-
mocks to swing in, lots of dogs and a couple of resident monkeys.

Dusita
( 08 1707 4546; Ao Ngam Kho; r 1290-2190B; )
Justifiably popular with families, whose kids
can run wild in the huge oceanfront garden. For everyone else, solid well-spaced-out bun-
galows provide a perfect retreat from the real world. Closed low season.
Siam Beach
( 08 4332 0788;
www.siambeachkohkood.net
; Ao Bang Bao; r 1400-2000B; )
With a monopoly
on the sandiest part of the beach, Siam Beach has adequate, if unremarkable, bungalows.
But location is what you get.

Mark House Bungalows
( 08 6133 0402;
www.markhousebungalow.com
; Ban Khlong Chao; r 1200B; )
Right behind the
beachside resorts, Mark House is the closest cheapie to the beach. The bungalows sit be-
side the canal and it feels like you're halfway through a nap all the time you stay here.

Bann Makok
( 08 1643 9488;

; Khlong Yai Ki; r 2800-4000B; )
Be the envy of the
speedboat patrons when you get dropped off at this boutique hotel tucked into the man-
groves. Recycled timbers painted in vintage colours have been constructed into a maze of
eight rooms designed to look like a traditional pier fishing village. Common decks and
reading nooks provide a peaceful space to listen to birdsong or get lost in a book.
