Laem Son National Park
A family-run ring of dated but cosy concrete bungalows with bamboo beds wraps around the colourful on-site restaurant here. The welcoming Dutch-Thai owners make a gloriously authentic gado-gado, organise Laem Son day trips, lend bicycles and are full of fantastic ideas for exploring the national park (ask about the stunning 10km headland trek). If you've booked, they'll collect you from the highway.
There are larger four-person bungalows for families.
