Char Bungalows
About
Set on Koh Tao, Char Bungalows is a local business and guest house at 33 1, Ko Tao, Ko Pha-ngan District, Surat Thani 84360, Tailandia. The address places it on Koh Tao, the island in the Gulf of Thailand that forms part of the Thailand island group.
Char Bungalows operates as a guest house rather than a restaurant or dive shop, giving visitors a straightforward base on the island. Guests have left 149 reviews and a 3.4 out of 5 average, a record that shows a mix of opinions among past visitors. The guest house sits within reach of Mae Haad, one of the nearby places on Koh Tao. Sairee Beach, Chalok Baan Kao, Tanote Bay, Shark Bay, Ao Leuk, Freedom Beach and Hin Wong Bay all lie elsewhere on the island.
Opening hours run Mo-Su 09:00-22:00, so the reception window covers mornings through late evening every day of the week. The Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087139582075&mibextid=LQQJ4d carries the guest house's own updates. Koh Tao's tropical climate brings two monsoons, and the Gulf coast where the island sits is generally at its best from roughly January to September.
Thai island cooking centres on fresh seafood, curries, noodles and tropical fruit, all widely available around Koh Tao. Arriving on Thailand's islands usually means a flight to the mainland followed by a ferry or speedboat, and Koh Tao fits that pattern. Thai is the main language, with English common in tourist areas, so basic phrases help with daily errands. First-time visitors should expect simple guest house accommodation rather than a resort setting.
