Moon Beach Bungalows Sri Tanu
Moon Beach is a brand new resort located on the quiet peninsula of Laem Sri Thanu on the sunset
coast of Koh Phangan. The resort is positioned on a hillside that runs into a white sand beach and calm azure sea, ensuring that every room has stunning
views over the islands that make up the Samui Archipelago. There are only ten bungalows, so the atmosphere is personal and friendly, and all are reasonably
priced to suit every traveller's budget. The family that run the business have a restaurant in the local village and have been taking care of visitors to
the island for decades, thus guests can rest assure that the food is as great as the hospitality; and with brand new buildings throughout, therefore comfort
is guaranteed.
Laem Sri Thanu is a volcanic island that has been joined to Koh Phangan by a strip of coconut pasture that meets with the village
of Sri Thanu. It has formed a fertile peninsula that lies between the bays of Ao Hin Kong and Ao Sri Thanu, thus the small and secluded beaches that populate
its coastline are closer to the coral reef, leading to virtually all year round swimming. At low tide its possible to circum-navigate Laem Sri Thanu enabling
guests to find their own paradise, perfect for secluded sunbathing or finding a good spot for fishing off the rocks. There is a laid back and unique
atmosphere to the area, partly because Laem Sri Thanu is almost its own island and because there are only five resorts on the peninsula. Although quiet,
action is not far away in the 'mainland' village of Sri Thanu, only a 500-metre walk through the coconut groves.
There are ten spacious and
newly built bungalows at Moon Beach, all with scenic sea views from generously proportioned hardwood balconies, with built-in seating and giant weatherproof
blinds. All of the rooms have double doors, long windows and are fully finished with curtains and fly-screens. The interiors are all wood panelled and the
floor is also beautifully finished wood; the spacious bathrooms are western style and are finished with ceramic tiles throughout. There is just this standard
fan style room available at Moon Beach, but it comes with a load of extra finishes and space at a surprisingly cheap price of 300 Baht Per night. There is
the option of having twin jumbo single beds, or a king-sized double bed.
RoomsAt Moon Beach the emphasis is on friendly service and value for money and the
accommodation reflects this; with comfortable bungalows that have heaps of extras and loads of room to feel right at home in. All the rooms are built in a
similar style with loads of polished wood and big windows to enjoy the stunning views from. There are double doors that open out onto the spacious balconies,
which all have built-in seating and amazing sea views, there are even all weather blinds that you can pull down in strong weather and still enjoy the great
scenery.
FacilitiesThe Moon Beach Restaurant is positioned at the top of the small hillside with
stunning views over the long bay of Ao Hin Kong and the islands Koh Tae Nai and Nok. It has several different areas to relax in with an open-air terrace, a
cocktail bar, raised Thai stlye platforms with triangle cushions and good old tables and chairs! The menu is just as varied and includes a full traditional
Thai menu, with some delicious Southern Thai specialities and an extensive vegetarian selection. As mentioned earlier, the family have long had a restaurant
in the village, and are also dab hands at western dishes, serving up great pizzas, superb burgers and Thai and western seafood barbeques.
There is plenty to keep you occupied at Moon Beach, especially with the coral reef so near to the coastline. There is snorkelling equipment available and
it's also a great place to fish; there's also an area for volleyball and badminton. The resort has an international telephone service; laundry service and
mopeds can also be hired. Five minutes walk away in the village of Sri Thanu, Siranee Minimart is owned by the same family and has all the items you need for
your stay - and loads more! With everything from fireworks to Frisbees and sun creams to ice creams. There is a high-speed internet service, a great
restaurant and even a snooker hall with full sized tables overlooking the bay.
