Koh Phangnan accommodation - New Year

[51mon]

I was going to ask in the other Thailand thread but didn't want to hijak it...

We're planning on being in Koh Phangnan for New Years, and was wandering if anyone has any recommendations on places to stay? I realise that there's literally 100's of places on the island (and they'll be getting booked up well in advance at that time of year.....!), but thought I'd have an ask if anyone has any favorites / knows of any hidden gems that they can point me towards...!

I'm currently looking on sawadee.com and phangnan.info at the moment, any other good places I should be trying?

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Unfortunately VEA, the last couple of places are slightly out of my price range! They both look incredible though.....

Sarkmaster - I stayed at Seethanu when I was travelling in 2009! Checked them out this time, but unfortunately they're fully booked already! Word of the Belgian beers must have spread! Did you go to heaven bar next door? The Massaman curry was awesome when when we were there!

Cost wise, we're not after anything fancy, but ideally want bungalows, with air-con and a pool. Probably looking at spending up to £70 ish a night (for 2 of us). Not too bothered about being right 'in the action', as we want some time to chill out, and as pointed out it's pretty easy to get around the place.

I've seen this place on Sawadee, has anyone stayed there / know people who have...?

Wow, the Panviman place looks really nice too!

I'm afraid we can't quite stretch to that over the Xmas / New Years period, as the prices triple! But it might well be worth a look if we fancy another few days somewhere a bit more chilled to recover before moving on.
