Chill Out Bar and Bungalows

This place is less about the accommodation, and more about the experience living in the jungle of Tonsai. The room is simple, not the cleanest, very remote and extremely hot (can be a struggle to cool down when no electricity for 12 hours a day), BUT, the location is amazing and the fellow travellers you meet out here are great. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for something less luxurious, but more of a tropical experience in the jungle.

Good proximity to Railay beach, although you do have to walk through a jungle to get to it. Alternatively pay the long tail boats 300THB to take you there. Would normally cost 50THB but there’s no one else on Tonsai beach so you’d be waiting a while. Staff were friendly enough. No electricity between 3am and 6pm. Room was clean but very hot when the fan went off. No hot water, plug sockets didn’t work very well and was very loud if any mopeds went past.

ไม่สะอาดเท่าไหร่ สำหรับพวกผ้าปู และหมอน แล้วก็กลิ่นในห้อง แต่สถานที่รอบๆใช้ได้ สวย

We arrived during the low season and immediately fell in love with the place, so we stayed for two weeks. The staff is super chill, accommodating and approachable - we ended up hanging around with them quite a bit. Their friendliness was one of the big perks to our stay. There’s a great restaurant with affordable prices right next to the bungalow park, where we had great coffee and even greater Pad Thai’s and the like. It’s right on the Main Street of Tonsai (though it is a small village) with many restaurants, some shops for your basic needs and plenty of climbing equipment rental places. All in all, we highly recommend this place, particularly if you love rock climbing, and want an authentic jungle living experience - cold showers and the ventilation which turns on at 6 will ensure you get enough cooling to feel rejuvenated in the morning as the monkeys start swinging in the trees in front of your bungalow.
