jimmi Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I am looking for a beach bungalow between Trat and Hat Lek. I am looking for one that is right on the beach. The more quiet and secluded the better. Does not have to have a restaurant or bar, but a restaurant would be a plus. I will be driving my own car so transportation is not a problem. My budget is 3,000 – 4,000 baht per night, but cheaper is better. All I want to do is sit in a chair on the beach, under an umbrella or tree, drink a few beers, and watch my boys play in the sand. A quiet family vacation. Anyone know of such a place? Mostly looking for a place on the mainland and not on Koh Chang, but willing to consider Koh Chang if the bungalow is very good. Thanks!

JusMe Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Last time I was down that way, there were quite a number of resorts on the beach, off the road between Trat and Hat Lek. All the road signs were in Thai, and I had heard that often falang were turned away. Again, only what I heard, as I didn't have my own transportation at that time and haven't tried. But the resorts are off the main road about 1 to 2 kilometres, right on the beach. Doubt if any have web sites or maybe even contact in Trat. Good luck, and let us know what you find.

Changian Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Try Centara Chaan Talay Resort - pretty nice and on a good beach. You should get some good deals at this time of year on Agoda / Sawadee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmi Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thank you JusMe and Changian for the reply. That's a start anyone else? With so few replies, am I looking in the wrong place for a quiet beach bungalow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changian Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 You're looking in the right place as it is very quiet with very few places to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve73 Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I stayed in a place called Tantawan bungalows (twice in fact), a few years back. Large family rooms, a/c & H/w and only about 500 b/n around this time of year both times. They were right on the beach. There was a restaurant of sorts and they let us use asmall BBQ to cook some shellfish we'd picked at low tide as well. About 10-15km beform Klong Yai IIRC. On many parts of that coast there's just a road out from Hwy 3 to the coast with a resort/restaurant at the end, but then in other sections (eg for 20km or so before Klong Yai) there's a 'coast road' parrallel th hwy 3, where there are plenty of small bungalow developments, some old and deserted, some brand new, and everything inetween, such as tanawan about 10-15 years old. If you've your own car don't worry, just get off Hwy 3 and see what there. Plenty to suit all tastes and budgets, as long as you're nor expecting wall to wall bars..!
