Nang Thong Bay Resort

Nang Thong Bay Resort

This is one of our favorite resorts in the area, and we give them a lot of credit. They don’t have a website (though some people have created some fake ones!!!) they do take reservations, but their phone number is wrong in most books and their email isn’t well publicized. How’s that for marketing…


They also don’t work with any booking agents. So they don’t give commissions to any of the random people who claim to know the area or have a website that books for the area, but have never even been here. So we give them a lot of respect for sticking to their guns.


They are owned by one of the main families in the area (Nang Thong Supermarket). They were one of the first to rebuild and have a very nice layout to the resort and a great feel.


They are right at the intersection between the beach road and the bypass to the main road. Yet once inside the resort it feels like a remote location. The beachfront is great and there is the little creek that goes through. Because of the location you can walk anywhere in town, and also makes for easy access to all the other possibilities of Khao Lak (trekking, diving, tours)


There are bechfront bungalows, then a row 10 meters further back, and then one more row. All are air conditioned and have a nice little balcony with shades for privacy.



The restaurant is not known for it’s top notch service, but the food is fine and the views are great. A very good place for sunset snacks.


The swimming pool isn’t huge, but it has a kiddy section and a bar. It is very scenic and is nicely laid out like most of the resort.


The beach does have some boulders, but easy to avoid while swimming. To the North are a couple of larger resorts that have the apartment style rooms, but they don’t really encroach on the beach, so it still makes for nice walking.
To the South are smaller bungalow style resorts and the beaches are very nice for walking and very uncrowded.


Overall a cozy place with a great atmosphere and nice bungalows. Perfect location.
