Daya Resort
( 08 9466 7318; Hat Pattaya; bungalows 800-1200B)
One of the few places that's still locally run,

cheapest seafood grills on the island.

Here is a wonderful hilltop collec-
tion of bamboo bungalows in two sizes nestled in the trees. The smaller white-washed
varietal offers blonde floors and cold-water baths. The larger, shaggy-haired, golden-
bamboo edition offers stylish hot-water baths and thicker mattresses. Expect deep dis-
counts in the low season. They offer yoga classes here too.

A killer bamboo reggae bar and
beachfront restaurant lurk below stylish cliffside, shaggy-haired bungalows set above a
tiny, private white-sand cove, which is strewn with boulders and adjacent to Sunset
Beach. It's the perfect setting for your hippy honeymoon and a short jog over the hill
from Pattaya.
Sunset Beach

; bungalows 1800B; )
Here's a refreshing collection of
damn fine braided-bamboo bungalows with king beds, moulded concrete baths and shady
front porches perched above the rocky far end of Hat Sunset, just before the curve to
Mountain Resort. Book ahead and management will scoop you up in their deluxe off-
road golf cart.
