Nangthong Bay Resort: Phuket on a Budget

I said 'budget', and I mean budget. Where else can you get superb beachfront bungalows for just THB1,500 a night? That's about 38 euro or 30 British pounds.
Nangthong Bay Resort is located at Phang Nga Bay, about an hours drive north from Phuket International Airport. So yes, technically, it's not in the island of Phuket, but if you seek a laidback place to unwind and relax, this is probably better (and better-priced as well) than the other Phuket resorts which can get crowded especially during peak season. This photo, showing the view of the ocean from one of the bungalows, is actually from Nangthong II (they have two beachfront properties, a couple of minutes' walk apart), which has a more quiet, village feel to it than the main resort.
'Bungalow' is rather a grand term for what is actually just a room the size of a decent hotel room or master bedroom. But for a couple, perhaps plus one kid, it's more than enough especially as you'll probably be spending most of your time outdoors anyway. Who would want to stay cooped inside when the beach, pool and garden awaits outside?

That’s what you call a budget travel. I think there are lots of budget travel available out there, people should learn about them.
