And now for something totally different… Down a maze of tracks through the rice fields, this guesthouse represents back-to-nature simplicity. Built entirely from wood and bamboo (but with solid floors), the main communal area is on raised stilts above a pond, while the rooms, each of which has an en suite bathroom, are set among the rice fields.
The owner, who speaks great English, can provide lots of ideas for things to see and do. It's back from the beach a short way and in a real village setting. Evening meals can be prepared with advance notice and free pick-ups are available from town.
