TP Hut Bungalows is a good spot for anyone looking for a simple, wallet-friendly resort with pool and natural surrounds but just a few minutes from White Sand beach.
TP Hut is located just south of White Sand beach, on the inland side of the main road. It’s set 200 metres back from the road, up a gentle slope and so traffic noise isn’t an issue. The rear of the resort lies adjacent to the jungle – which is the boundary of the National Park.
The bungalows are built around a large garden area which has a swimming pool in the centre. The cheapest fan bungalows are well under 500 Baht / night even in High Season. These are quite small and basic but have en-suite bathroom and cable TV. That, plus the use of a pool and the peaceful surroundings make them a very good option for budget backpackers.
A step up in size and comfort are the Deluxe bungalows with air-conditioning. Still very affordable, from under 1,000 Baht and upwards. And some with a pool or sea view. There is also a larger Family bungalow that can sleep 4 people in a double bed and bunk beds. This room has a large covered terrace and a great view over the resort.
Note that breakfast isn’t included in the room rates but there’s an inexpensive restaurant on site which sis open all day.
TP Hut is ideal for more experienced independent travellers who want a good value room, and don’t need super comfy spring mattresses or a buffet breakfast.
The obvious downside is that it’s too far to walk to the beach easily and at this price you can’t expect to get a bed as comfortable as those in a 5 star hotel.
