Andaman Bangtao Bay Resort

Phuket


Most bungalows have sea views and you're right on the beach at this pleasant, decent-value little resort at the southern end of Hat Bang Thao. The design is classic Thai – woodcarvings on the walls and coconuts hanging from the roofs – without being luxurious. Tuck into BBQ seafood and Thai curries at the simple seaside restaurant.
