We offer modern, Thai-style bungalows in a garden setting on the beach, an excellent restaurant, and personal service to each and every visitor. A little paradise beach not too far from the tourist hub. This white sandy beach was not always the location of beautiful bungalows. In English Ao Thong means Golden Bay, however, this was not always the case. In the not too distant past large mangrove fo
rests covered the area and provided the perfect habitat for monkeys. So numerous were they, that the bay was aptly named Ao Ling, meaning Monkey Bay. With the rapid rise in tourism, the monkeys started to disappear, and the name was later changed to Ao Thong. As well as meaning Golden Bay, ‘Thong’ in Thai also means ‘richness’. The bay certainly has an outstanding ‘richness’ of nature and some breathtaking views. In 2002 Mr. Nueng and his wife, Nong built a small restaurant on the edge of the beach attracting many customers from the Khao Lak area. Ao Thong Beach Restaurant was soon well established as a Khao Lak restaurant serving delicious Thai food. The restaurant was later expanded with the addition of seven Khao Lak bungalows, some with fan and some with air-conditioning. Escape the hustle and bustle of Khao Lak or Phuket life. Kick back and enjoy Ao Thong Beach. Lounge in the shade or take a dip in the sea. Ao Thong Beach Bungalow’s facilities include sun loungers with beach umbrellas and clean toilets and showers. Should you wish to stay and enjoy the sunset or have dinner by the sea, Mr. Neung can arrange a taxi service back to Khao Lak. Better still, stay for a few days in these warm and inviting Khao Lak bungalows.
