Cliff cottage Bang Bao


After the idea of taking a trip to Thailand came about, I started researching online esp. the islands. We finally decided on Ko Chang, because he wanted to work and required a quiet, clam envirnment and I, wanted a break from the city and the markets. Cliff Cottage had been on mind for the longest time...first of all, for the excellent comments on it by guests and secondly the 'back to basic' setting and thirdly, the oh-so-very-cheap room rent. I was only apprehensive about the shared bath rooms but that's turning out to be just fine. It's quiet an expereince, one of it's kind--in a rickety hut built with bamboo, wood and thatch roofs, a vintage table fan, rock hard mattress-- hut that comes with a small balcony that has an wooden chair, a hammock and a couple of cushions thrown around. You look around and you know nature has given this place a fair deal.

I love the deck the best... in fact it looks like everybody love be be here... you have the view of the ocean with tiny hills on the sides. there are hammocks, floor cushions, beach chairs, swing chairs, also a bamboo bed! the sound of the blue water playing around, and the sight of the unending ocean under the blue sky is what this place is made of.
There are a lot of back packers and also those who have this a home. For us, it's our second day here and as much as we love our comforts, we must experience nature in it's best possible way sometimes...and I guess, cliff cottage gives us that. Natural (discomforts included) and beautiful.
