Chumporn Help Please

[wjmark]

Suggestions please

I am coming in to Chumporn on Friday afternoon, and would like to find a cheap beach bungalow not too far from the town.

I would be happy with 500 (I hear they are cheap there!).

Somewhere with half-way decent swimming, and easy access to town - nothing fancy.

---

And what are the really good little Thai places to eat? I don't mean fancy or expensive (although both are ok), but really really good South Thai food

---

Also, can I ride an unlicensed little dirt-bike around town, or is that asking for trouble?

I am having my little bike shipped to Chumporn, and would like to ride around for a day or so before going to Koh Tao (where there are no laws...)

Thanks, Mark
