Fodor's Expert Review Nang Thong Bay Resort

The majority of rooms here are surprisingly inexpensive cottages that face the beach and are surrounded by well-maintained gardens. White concrete beachfront cottages have contemporary Thai interiors, outdoor garden showers, and decks with sun chairs. Beyond the pool (which has a great pool bar) and garden stand two modern, two- and three-story complexes with studios and roomy one-bedroom suites. Long walks along the beach are magical at sunset. Well-priced spa services are available next door at the Seaview Resort.
