Hi

Im heading to Thailand for the first time in 3 weeks for 3 weeks as a surprise trip for my girlfriend and wantd to book us a bungalow right on the beach somewhere. I plan to spend a week in each koh samet, hua hin and samui. I have looked on the net but most who advertise for "on the beach" accomodation are meaning that their hotel or whatever is on the beach but I actually want to be walking out onto sand. An ameaturish question I know but any help would be much appreciated

Regards
MC

You can get what you want at Koh Samet and Koh Samui but I'm not sure about Hua Hin, unless you stay in one of the upmarket hotels, but certainly at Samet & Samui you can have a bungalow right on the beach sand. Perhaps if you name the hotels/bungalows you have booked someone will be able to tell you if you'll be right on the sand. Many beachside places in Thailand actually have a road between the hotel & the beach.

you may have trouble booking a beach bungalow for Samet on the net as they only advertise huts and accommadation behind the resturaunts and bars on the beach,there is a few right on the beach but not many.Not like Samui anyway.

look up sawadee.com,you can look at all accomadation in Thailand,prices ,photos,reviews ect.

What type of huts do you want top end or budget?
Are you going to Samet from Bangkok?

on Samet you are best book a night somwhere and then go looking for the type of hut/bungalow that suits you.

Years ago they had plenty on Pinapple beach next door to saikaw resort but there are only a few left nowdays.

There are tons on Samui,I am just in the prosses of booking but am not shure which beach,s to stay at but there is huts right on the waters edge on most beaches altough you will pay a bit more for beach front bungalows

I was looking into Hou Hin but it seems they only have high rise,resorts and guest houses there.

Oh yes I forgot, if you look up Koh Samet on sawadee.com you find it in Rayon.

There is many bungalow directly on coast of the koh samet. We some years have a rest thus. And each time we find a new place. Problems do not happen to it.

I doubt it...try Rayong instead.

As for a bungalow on the beach...yes you can get one on walkin on Ko Samet usually, though its more difficult finding somewhere at the weekend or on public holidays. I've certainly never booked in advance. Tubtim Resort is quite nice ...it was 800B last year, probably 1000B now.

Why do you want to go to Samui or Hua Hin? There are other islands better suited to bungalows on the beach.

eg Ko Phangan, an island near Samui. Just avoid Had Rin area and the full moon party... have a look at this site anyway, might give you some ideas. Ko Pha Ngan
