BANG BAO SEA HUT $$
( 08 1285 0570; Ban Bang Bao; r 2500B; )
With individual bungalows built on
the edge of Bang Bao's pier, this is one of Ko Chang's most unusual places to stay.
Each 'hut' (actually much flasher than it sounds) is surrounded by a private deck
where breakfast is served, with wooden shutters opening to the sea breeze.

You'll need your own transport and maybe even a posse not to feel lonely out here,
but you'll be rewarded with a quieter, calmer experience.

Sandwiched between mangroves and a quiet red-sand beach, Amber
