Down on the south west coast, the wonderful beach at Ao Jak is home to just a couple of places to stay.
Neverland Resort once again picks up the J.M.Barrie connection so beloved of Koh Kood, though this time it’s a much more standard bungalow resort unlike the luxury over at Tinkerbell, Wendy the Pool and Peter Pan on Klong Chao Beach and Captain Hook up in Klong Yai Kee.
Neverland’s practical wooden bungalows come in a range of different styles, prices from 1,200bt a night, though they are perhaps showing their age a little.
At the northern end, Rim Talay provides either brand new bungalows on the beach with prices from 2,300bt upwards or rooms in the row behind which are a little cheaper.
The homestay Koh Kood Club, a large colourfully painted fisherman house on the river, is normally sold as part of a package for Thai groups but should you want to try it, prices range from 1,200bt upwards.
Along the long back road which leads to the beach, Walk-in Homestay comprises fan and a/c bungalows rooms, 1,100bt to 1, 900bt a night.
Finally, up on the main road near the turning down to the beach, Ban Choeng Kao, a small roadside restaurant, also offers a couple of smart bungalows, prices around 1,500bt a night.
