Rabbit Resort
( 0 3825 1730;
www.rabbitresort.com
; Hat Dongtan; r 3700-11,000B; )
Rabbit Resort has
stunning, stylish and secluded bungalows and villas that showcase Thai design and art,
all set in beachfront forest hidden between Jomtien and Pattaya Tai. There are no rabbits
here, but it's a perfect choice for families with a couple of swimming pools and easy
beach access.
Birds & Bees Resort
( 0 3825 0556;

;
Soi 4, Th Phra Tamnak; r 2000-12,000B; )
Retreat into a tropical garden resort bisected by meandering paths and decorated with
tongue-in-cheek artwork. The cheaper rooms are a little drab for the price, but there's a
semi-private beach and an incongruous wholesomeness for a resort affiliated with PDA,
the Thai family planning NGO that promotes condom use.
