( 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.
Apache
( 08 1452 9472;

; Ao Thian; r 800-1300B; )
Still one of the most chilled
spots on Samet, Apache's bungalows have seen better days but are good enough. The
bar/restaurant is popular with people who like to roll their own cigarettes.

Nice & Easy
( 0 3864 4370; nice.easy_samed.island@hotmail.com; Ao Wong Deuan; r 1200-2000B; )
As the name
suggests, a very amenable place with comfortable, modern and big bungalows set around
a garden behind the beach. A decent deal for this part of Samet.
Viking Holiday Resort
( 0 3864 4353;
www.sametvikingresort.com
; Ao Thian; r 1200-2000B; )
Ao Thian's most up-
scale spot with comfortable, if not very modern, rooms. There are only nine of them so
book ahead. Pleasant staff and OK restaurant.

Ban Thai Sang Thain
( 08 1305 9408;
www.bathaisangthain.com
; Ao Thian; r 1000-2000B; )
Think of traditional Thai
architecture with a tree-house twist and you'll sum up this family-run place, which offers
rooms rather than bungalows. It's slap in the centre of the beach.

in this part of the world.
