During our research about Koh Yao Noi we noticed that most or almost all accommodations
were above our budget. Furthermore, without having a moped upon arrival and not wanting
to pay several 100 baht For a taxi we decided to check out a resort in the proximity of the
pier:
Namtok Bungalows.
By looking on the reviews on Tripadvisor.com and the homepage Namtok Bungalows made
a good impression. But sometimes you should not tryst what the Internet says.
On our arrival nobody was present at the resort except a backpacker who fortunately
explained the situation of the resort and gave us the wifi password. Basically most of the
time nobody was at the resort, and the bungalows in a bad condition however they were the
cheapest ones he saw on the island. After two hours we were sick of waiting and decided to
call the owner and she arrived 10min later. (as a side note we were there during low season
perhaps it's better in high season.
Sometimes you are lucky we cheap accommodation sometimes. This time it was the worst
thing we could've chosen. Having already stayed in Bamboo bungalows we are used to
share the space with some insects and what not. But having rat shit everywhere as well as
cockroaches, huge spider webs and spiders is the limit.
The room had a normal size bed with a moskito net, which doesn't help with the falling rat
shit from the roof, a fan, a cold shower with a toilet and a small terrace with a hammock. The
rate was
550baht but we reduced it to
450baht because we stayed for three nights.
Despite the fact that this was the worst accommodation ever there are also positive things:
- First the Wifi is fast and you might be lucky to have a reception in your bungalow.
- Second,
the chill area with the hammocks is great.
- Third, Namtok is a 10min walk away from the pier
so you don't need a taxi to get to it and you can easily rent mopeds at the pier.
So overall if you don't mind living on rat shit and sharing your space with huge disgusting
insects and want to save some cash this is it.
