Set in a brand-new and extensive out-of-the-way garden-in-the-making, this is more of a luxurious homestay than a commercial establishment. Owner-manager Chalinee is a fifth-generation Ko Sichang native with excellent English, as obliging as she could be. If you want a secluded place with loads of space and great amenities, try this Tel 084 348 8317.

On ultra-quiet Koh Khaam Yai, this is a Spartan but spic-and-span place we really love. Everything is minimal but enjoyable. Arrange a boat to and from Thaa Bon pier, and make your eating arrangements in advance. Tel 038 216 018

These are the bungalows around us, Pan & David Restaurant. Most interesting are the converted barges, with airconditioning and en-suite bathrooms, plus your own very private porch on the bow, overlooking the sea toward Siracha. The restaurant is popular, attractive and open late. Tel 09 091 6974 • 038 216 116 English: 038 216 629

One of the best-probably the best-views we've ever had from a hotel room. There's a great view of the sunset from the raised patio, a fascinating little museum of local marine life, and a nice beach at the bottom of the cliff when the tide's really low. The B1,500 bungalow has two comfortable bedrooms each with en-suite bath, and a large rooftop patio. Cooking facilities provided in the detached bungalows. Tel 038 216 336,  038 216 034

The closest you can get to a beach on the main island, and it's the biggest beach, too. Usually the first place to fill up, and the best place to meet people. Therefore probably about the worst for peace and quiet on weekends. Tel 038 216 179

Simple bungalows, all at least 2 rooms/2 baths, nearly every one facing directly onto the cleanest beach in the Sichang Islands, with some really wonderful coral just 60 meters offshore. There's not a motor vehicle on this island, the service is friendly, and the food tasty (and seriously spicy). Tel 081 304 2622

There is a great variety of places to stay in Koh Sichang (all these, plus tents at Tham Phang Beach, and homestays on Koh Khaam Yai). Here we list all the places we feel can be at least occasionally recommended. In the table below, ratings go from * for tolerable to **** for tops. Nothing on the island is five-star luxury, or near it. Listing order is from north to south (numbers come from the map). Nobody pays us for the listings, and we've tried to be fair to all with the ratings, but they're ultimately a matter of opinion, and there can be changes we don't know about. Where names are underlined with pink background you can click for individual room details on another page. Want a secluded and convenient place? Try this bungalow!
