Kalume

Top choice in Trang Beaches & Islands


The cheapest (but still overpriced) beachfront resort on Ko Kradan, Kalume has a collection of bamboo and wooden bungalows set around a garden. They're basic but cute with mosquito nets, fans, and cold-water showers in the indoor/outdoor bathrooms. Kradan's perfect beach is a mere step away from the beachfront cabanas (perfect for lazing and reading) and Kalume's laid-back restaurant and island bar.
