; Ao Wai; r 1080-4500B; )
Under a forest canopy, it's a
case of 'spot the sky' at the only resort at this secluded bay. It is an unpretentious place
with a range of rooms and cottages that suit most budgets. Plus, the beach is great.

Eating
Most hotels and guesthouses have restaurants that moonlight as bars after sunset. The
food and the service won't blow you away, but there aren't many alternatives. Nightly
beach barbecues are an island favourite but pick one that looks professionally run and
popular. There are cheapie Thai places in town.

Right by the ferry terminal, this spot has food so good
you'll forget you have to leave the island. It's busier at lunch than dinner.
Jep's Restaurant

Canopied by the branches of an arching tree decor-
ated with lights, this pretty place does a little of everything. It's right on the beach.

Small but select menu of the French-Canadian chef's
favourite dishes at this atmospheric eatery in between the pier and Hat Saw Kaew. Good
salads, great oven-baked ribs. There's Thai food, too.
