One of
Ko Lanta's little slices of bohemia. The bungalows may be a bit shaky but there is great
mojo here and the place buzzes with backpackers. The restaurant is a growing piece of
art in itself. The pricier bungalows are all unique multilevel abodes sleeping up to four
people.

budget spots on the island, Bee Bee's super-friendly staff care for a dozen creative bam-
boo cabins - every one is unique and a few are stilted in the trees. The on-site restaurant

If you dig the Hat
Khlong Khong scene but can't live without air-con, here's a great-value option right on
the beach. It's bland, but the new rooms are clean and have good beds, terraces, mini
fridges and TVs. Water is solar heated and rates include breakfast.
Hat Khlong Nin
After Hat Khlong Tob, the main road heading south forks. Veer left for the inland road,
which runs to the east coast, and head right for the country road, which hugs the coastline
for 14km to the tip of Ko Lanta. On the right fork the first beach is picturesque Hat
Khlong Nin. There are lots of small, inexpensive guest houses at the north end of this
white sand beach that are usually attached to restaurants. It's easy to get dropped off here,
then shop around for a budget place to stay.

A
cute little find on the north end of this beach with three options. The wooden and bamboo
bungalows are closest to the beach, just behind the breezy restaurant, but they also have a
GUESTHOUSE
