Koh Phangan Bungalows.
Staying in a bungalow upon the paradise island Koh Phangan in the Gulf of Thailand can be an excellent experience. If you are used to more Mediterranean style holiday accommodation such as an apartment or villa, you will find that staying in your own Koh Phangan bungalow provides a much more personal and charming holiday experience.So how do Koh Phangan bungalows differ from standard holiday accommodation? First of all, almost all of the bungalows available for rent upon Koh Phangan are constructed to resemble traditional Thai buildings. Many of them are built right on the sand, meaning you will step outside of your bungalow straight on to the beach. This is far removed from the usual European style of vacation accommodation, which is seldom located in such dramatic surroundings. A Koh Phangan bungalow is in effect a small house, usually consisting of sleeping room, bathroom and sometimes a kitchen. In Europe and the rest of the world they would be called a chalet, but here on Koh Phangan they are named bungalows.
Staying in a bungalow resort on Koh Phangan is an experience in itself, almost every Koh Phangan bungalow resort has its own bar and restaurant, meaning that for those people who enjoy a lazy life, finding food and refreshments could not be easier. Additionally, many of the larger bungalow resorts also supply entertainment in the evenings, quite often including a free alfresco barbecue right on the beach.
Depending on your budget and the price range of Koh Phangan bungalows you are looking for then your resort will contain extra facilities on top of the incredible beaches and comfortable accommodation. Many of the newer boutique resorts are equipped with swimming pools, health spas, massage parlours and herbal saunas. These kinds of new, luxurious boutique resorts feature impeccably appointed bungalows, almost all of them with air conditioning, set in landscaped grounds. At the cheaper end of the scale, a Koh Phangan bungalow resort will consist of around a dozen basic bungalows, often constructed from local materials such as coconut wood and palm fronds, and the visitor will need to look further afield for recreational facilities.
Regardless of which end of the budget spectrum you decide upon, staying in a Koh Phangan bungalow will be an event you will remember for the rest of your life. Koh Phangan has a particularly laid-back way of doing business, and this is never more evident than in the chilled vibe that can be found in almost every bungalow resort upon the island. If you have ever dreamed of living a Robinson Crusoe style lifestyle, set upon of pristine beach, surrounded by lush palm forest and coconut groves, then a holiday in a Koh Phangan bungalow will surely please you.
