Porn's Bungalows
(often also called "Porn Bungalows"
or "Porn Bungalow") is located
at the southern end of Kai Bae Beach (see map for the location of
Porn's Bungalows on Ko Chang:
Porn's
Bungalows on Ko Chang). Four islands, Ko Yuak, Ko Pli,
Ko Man Nok and Ko Man Nai are situated idyllically in front of the
resort.
The bungalow resort is located directly at Kai Bae Beach (Haad
Kai Bae), a flat, about 2,5 kilometre-long beautiful sand
beach, which is partially lined by over-hanging palms and broad-leaved
trees. Depending to the time of the year and to the tides the beach
can be up to 200 metres wide.
When Porn's Bungalows was built
almost no trees were cleared so that there are still a lot of coconut
palms and broad-leaved trees on the extensive terrain. The bungalows,
standing in 4 rows parallel to the beach, are all built out of wood.
In contrast with lot of other bungalow resorts there is sufficient
space between the “huts”, so that enough privacy is
ensured. The bungalows are either covered with the Thai-typical
palm roofs or with normal roofs. All have own bathrooms with toilet
and shower and are equipped with ventilators. On the big balconies
you'll find a table and chairs.
The restaurant of Porn's Bungalows,
which serves Thai specialities, Snacks and European breakfast, doesn’t
only offer excellent dishes and good service but also has unique
charm. For these reasons it has been the most popular restaurant
on Kai Bae Beach for more than 10 years. A big, unroofed, wooden
terrace with two roofed pavilions is situated directly on the beach.
Years ago in the restaurant all chairs where removed and the “normal”
tables were replaced by other ones with short legs. You can choose
to sit on the typical Thai-style-cushions or, for those who feel
uncomfortable with the Thai-way of sitting, you can also sit on
normal chairs and tables in the roofed part of the restaurant or
just relax in one of the hammocks ...
In front of the barbeque, where every evening meat, potatoes, corn,
fresh fish, shrimps, squids and other seafood specialities are cooked,
there are more tables and chairs directly on the beach, so you can
also eat and drink there with a special “beach atmosphere”.
At the beach bar you have a big selection of long drinks, cocktails,
beer and other alcoholic drinks but also lots of chilled shakes,
juices and non alcoholic drinks can be ordered.
Porn's Bungalows probably
has the most varied music collection on Ko Chang, from French chansons,
Jazz, Rock and Pop to the latest Techno-hits – so everybody
will find something for his individual taste. In addition almost
every evening there are fire juggling shows which are very popular
with the guests.
In the restaurant boat trips and sailing journeys to the surrounding
islands can be booked. Also elephant trekking can be organised and
kayaks can be rented to explore the beaches and the nearby islands.
A table tennis table and a pool table is also located there. And
directly on the beach of Porn's Bungalows
you can enjoy a traditional Thai massage.
The village of Kai Bae Beach (Baan Kai
Bae) can be reached by food within a few minutes. There you
find shops, comfortable beer bars and restaurants, massage and souvenir
shops, supermarkets and Internet cafés.
At the slope behind Porn's Bungalows
there is one of the most beautiful viewpoints of Ko Chang from where
you have a superb view to the four above mentioned islands. Just
a few metres underneath, directly at the turn-off from the main-road
to “Sea View Resort”, you have a fantastic view over
Kai Bae Beach and Klong Prao Beach to the north.
The bungalows at Porn's Bungalows
are between 500.- and 800.- Baht per night. Reservations are not
possible.
How to get to Porn's Bungalows:
From the piers you will reach Porn's
Bungalows at Kai Bae Beach by pickup taxi within about 45
minutes. Please let the taxi driver know the name of Porn's
Bungalows before starting. Because the road to Porn’s
Bungalows is not in a good condition the taxi may not bring
you there. It usually stops at the road in the village, from there
you have to walk south along the beach. Or get the taxi driver to
stop at the entrance of "Sea View Resort" and walk down
the dirt road at the right hand side in front of the entrance until
you reach the beach. Then walk to the right and after about 100
metres you arrive at Porn's Bungalows.
