and stylish white-cement, wood-trimmed bungalows arranged in garden foliage around a
big pool. It's only verging on hip but it definitely feels good to be here. Check the web-

Th Ao Nang; r incl breakfast from 3600B; )
A sprawling
thatched explosion of rustic coconut wood, bright orange and purple paint and plenty of
elaborate Thai tiles. There are two pools, and a similarly designed branch is across the
road from the original. It could use a refresh, but it has a sweet perch and plenty of life.
