Kai Bae Beach Resort has been undergoing a rebuilding phase for the past 3 years. Thankfully, the construction is now all complete. A new swimming pool, hotel block, restaurant, car park and reception have been added. Plus new beachfront bungalows and a coffeeshop by the beach.
So basically it’s a totally different place to the original resort. And that’s a good thing. It was looking tired and it now resembles a modern beach resort.
The hotel rooms are very generic though. But offer good value for money and feature a spacious balcony. Around 2,500 Baht / night will get you a sea view room with all the essential amenities. The bungalows are the only remnants of the original and they have been spruced up a little. These are around the same price as the modern hotel rooms.
The resort is in a very handy location, right in the centre of Kai Bae beach, a 5 minute walk to shops and restaurants on the main road.
That coupled with a nice beach right outside and you can’t really go wrong if you are looking for a mid-price room by the sea for a couple of weeks. It’s not a place for party animals but ideal for families and couples.
It’s a deservedly popular resort and one to go for if you don’t find any others that really grab your attention. It ticks all the beach / location / Aircon room / value for money boxes.
