Phuket, Bungalow On The Beach? Where?

[frenchFARANGbkk]

Hi,

As I think it's not a bad idea to travel to the west coast now to bring a bit of money there, I decided to go to Phuket instead of the overcrowded Samui.

But Could you tell me where to find a frontbeach bungalow there? (just a bed and a shower is ok, I like to live like Robinson when I go to the beach! ;-) )

Thanks.

There isnt many here, did you start the thread in the Phuket forum?

I only know of 2 and they are both at Rawai and they cost around 1000 baht per night.

Friendship beach and Vichit bungalows.

No more?

Is Ko Lanta OK after Tsunami?

What about others islands where I should go on the west coast?

beach front bungalow!!

try the unpopular east coast, ( cape Panwah) or the VERY expensive, Phuket Yaht club down in Nai Harn. but nothing on the west coast at all. Sorry, figure maybe by Oct this year.

Ko lanta was hit very lite and you can get some great deasl there. Its low season in Feb! Trang was hit not at all.

Phuket Yacht Club hardly a Beach Front Bungalow!...yes there are other islands..I don't know what the boat connections are like after ......but if it is Man Friday life you are after you can probably find it....Ko Bulae?

The east coast is, I think, grotty. There are beach bungalows S of Ranong!

Thanks, I found the only front beach bungalow in the south, at RAWAI BEACH !

So people don't mind to sleep in front of the sea when they come to an island? Am I weird?

Hey, just saw this topic. There are a couple of nice quiet little bungalow outfits, and one guesthouse at Ya Nui beach, just over the hill from Nai Harn on the way to Promthep.

Don't remember the names, though -- what are they? and what are they charging these days?

I think it was 600-700 baht while I was there last year.

I think Ya Nui is a swell little beach; it's one of the best kept secrets on Phuket

Well, maybe not anymore...

Ya Nui beach was almost totally devastated by the tsunami. I believe there are a few bungalows left but I don't know what condition they are in now. Everything that was beach side was flattened.

There are places along Rawai beach that are available. Not right on the beach of course but across the road. There is a little place called Pornmae Bungalows that is very cheap. Vichit and Friendship are nice but more upmarket than Pornmae.
