Hello, looking for some recommendations or names of any beachfront hotels that are literally "on the beach". Some elderly family members are visiting Thailand and want to stay in one of those hotels that has 'huts' or 'cabins' right on the beach. I am fairly sure these types of place exist in Samui or Krabi etc, but for logistical reasons I would prefer them to stay nearer to Bangkok. and nearer to civilization in general.
Does anyone know of any such places in the vicinity of Pattaya for example? Away from all the chaos of the centre obviously, but near enough to make the occasion trip to some malls or tourist attractions. Along that coast, considering Koh Chang also but that might be a bit far. Hua Hin also an option, but not sure that this type of place exists there.
Grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.
