This cool address at the heart of Hat Rin strikes a balance between chic boutique and carefree flashpacker hang-out, with standard rooms, bungalows and pool villas. Wander down to a lovely strip of white sand, past flowering trees, to the resort with an azure pool at the heart of things and helpful, obliging staff. Rooms come with air-con, fridge and safe.
Prices peak over Christmas and the New Year and, of course, when the moon is full.
