A diving shops, internet cafes, restaurants and cheap guest houses are on this main road. Many hotels and resorts are on the beach but there is no road along the water so you have to walk on the beach to find a room. Access: Easy access from Nathon port and from Bophut pier

During high season budget places fill up quickly. During the low season bargains can be found at many of the mid-range complexes, for 400B you can find rooms in complexes with swimming pools. The cheap GHs usually do not set seasonal rates, but they may lower their rate according to their vacancies. Ones more than middle class set their seasonal rates. The periods depend on hotel/resort. In September and April, the weather is not so bad but many offer large discount rate for high class quality. So better to phone first. |
