limbo Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Well, never was a real big Bophud fan, used to live in Maenam which I still like a lot. Still like Chaweng tho. Really think Chaweng is changing for the better. Not at all like these awfull places that have been mentioned. Just don't have that much experience living in hotels etc, since I always lived here either in rented houses or now in my own house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 When I first stayed on Maenam I stayed in Nature Bungalow which cost me 50 baht a night. (1996/1997) I just don't agree that Chaweng has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qxguy Posted April 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Any experience or visit to Baan Haad Ngam? They quoted less than 4000B for a Villa. Looks nice. Small grouping of bungalows it looks like. Relatively new? Don't have any info other than typical PR stuff. qxguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Is that for a room or a villa? I suspect it's for the room. Also this is not on Chaweng, but north, on Choengmon Beach. There is little point in trawling through all the accommodation on Samui. You've been given the 'heads up' on 'beachfront' accommodation with a central location. If you don't care for beachfront, then your choice increases. If, further to that, you don't care for a central location, your choice increases further.... Book your first couple of nights at the THE ISLAND's or OP's beachfront accomm. and then take a walk down the beach. Then you can decide on location and comfort. The MOST centrally located resorts on Chaweng include, Chaweng Gardens, P&P(OP's sister resort), Chaweng Coral Resort and some resorts aimed at the younger crowd. Only P&P offers beachfront accommodation. All are within a couple of minutes walk from the entertainment centre. The resorts I have recommended are within 5 minutes walk away. No taxis needed.

samak Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 chaweng garden: have been there once as well. no bungalows, and no beachfront accommodation. very basic but cheap, less than 1000 baht and very central. just a 1 minute walk to green mango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I wouldn't stay at any of them, with the exception of the two beachfront rooms of P&P, maybe. I would stay at the beachfront properties I did recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Here's the link for Kings Garden; http://www.geocities.com/kings_garden_resort/index.html If you book in advance, you may be able to secure that beachfront bungalow, that you can see pictured.

limbo Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Says samak: is this a branch of King's Garden in Patpong? Always good to have more legs to stand upon, isn't it. Spread the risk a bit. :hubba: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
