Phangan Guest House

Overview

Half guesthouse, half hostel, Phangan Guest House covers both ends of a backpacker budget in Thong Sala. Solo travellers can take a bed in a mixed dorm of four, six or ten, while couples and small groups can choose a private double, a twin or a four-person room.

Rooms are air-conditioned, and some of the private ones add a balcony and a fridge. The shared spaces matter here: there's a communal living room, a garden, barbecue grills and an on-site restaurant serving Thai food, along with a bar. Lockers, luggage storage and laundry help on a longer trip.

• Mixed dorms of four, six and ten beds

Location

The guesthouse is at 229/13 Moo 1 in Thong Sala, the island's main town. Thong Sala pier is about five minutes away by car, and listings put the nearest beach around 500 to 600 metres away and Thongsala Walking Street about 900 metres on foot.

Living in town makes it easy to eat cheaply at the night markets and to find songthaews, taxis and scooter rental for trips to the rest of the island.

Good to know

• The front desk keeps limited hours, roughly 9am to 9pm, so let the property know if you'll arrive late.
• Dorms are mixed.
