On isolated Laem Son Beach, this family-run resort offers genuine Thai hospitality. Tall pines, arching coconut trees, flowers, and ferns abound, and many birds, including a few chickens, inhabit the grounds. Budget-conscious travelers can enjoy proximity to the beach from basic wooden huts. Larger air-conditioned villas have individually designed layouts and interior design, but all include some Thai art. The resort is across the river from Noppharat Thara National Park. Pros: close to national park; great, relaxed atmosphere. Cons: a bit pricey for basic lodgings.
