Eas-
ily the most professionally run place on this island. The concrete-and-wood bungalows
all have comfy verandahs and a long swimming beach out the front, from which you can
watch the sun set over outlying islands. The friendly Dutch and Thai owners are chock-
full of information, arrange excellent island-hopping tours and offer guided tours of
Sukorn (per person 400B).
Oh, and the food (mains 85B to 300B) is the best in the Trang Islands. If you land here
during the monsoon season, look for the break close to the beach - you just may see a
dolphin show.
