; Hat Pattaya; r/bungalows from 1700/2400B; )
One of
Pattaya's more attractive small resorts, its best nests are the two-storey thatched wooden
bungalows with a downstairs living room and top-floor bedrooms that have sliding doors
opening to sea views. Some rooms have minor wear and tear but are still comfy.

; Hat Pattaya; r from 2100B, bungalows 2800-5000B; )
The
new wing of the venerable Bundhaya Resort is set closest to the headland and offered
some of Pattaya's best rooms at research time. This choice collection of natural, reddish-
blonde wood and concrete cottages with mod accents includes huge front decks to catch
shade and sun, and they're well out of earshot of the beach bar scene.

; Sunrise Beach; bungalows incl breakfast 2300-6000B;
)
This sprawling resort has views from its hillside location out over Ko Adang. Winding
wooden walkways lead down to the sublime beach on Sunrise Beach's northern sand bar
and there is a flashy new array of wooden bungalows and condo-like flats that are called
villas, all with the expected mod cons and private lanai.
Their footprint is impressively compact and it's a rather stunning sight from the sea.
Yes, they do cater to package tourists, but before you roll your eyes, check out their
stretch of beach. Wow! Like, wow!
The Box
(d 1200-2900B, family units 4600-5200B; )
An alluring boutique hotel crafted from shipping
containers, dressed up in natural wood panelling and connected by wooden paths through
the garden. Interiors are spare, simple and stylish with bamboo beds, accent walls and
wooden wash basins.
