Budget Accommodation on Koh Samui

Nid's Bungalows Koh Samui - nidsbungalows.com

Nid's Backpacker Bungalows offers new and budget-priced Thai-style accommodation located centrally in the Chaweng Beach tourist area on the shore of Chaweng Lake.

Chaweng beach and the most popular nightclubs, bars, shops and markets on Koh Samui are within a few minutes walk from the bungalows.

At 250 square km, Koh Samui is the largest island in the Gulf of Thailand. It has an international airport serviced via Bangkok, Krabi, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. There are also several car ferries to the mainland.

Over the last 20 years, the main industries of coconut farming and fishing have given way to tourism but, in recent years, many of the small and cheap beach huts traditionally favoured by backpackers have been replaced by very expensive luxury resorts established along the major beaches around the island.

Nid's Bungalows aims to serve the international backpacker market by offering Koh Samui visitors exceptional value budget-priced accommodation in a quiet and convenient location on the shore of Chaweng Lake 5 minutes walk from the beach.

Nid's Bungalows are new and all have ensuites with hot water showers, western-style toilets and vanities. The bungalows feature double bed, twin single bed or 4-bunk mixed dorm style accommodation and all have multi-channel international cable TV.

When you come to Thailand you will quickly discover that Thais take the greatest pleasure in offering hospitality and taking care of you in the nicest possible way!

And, in choosing our style of accommodation, you will certainly experience the feeling of Thai style living and, if you wish, take the opportunity to make some very good friends of the locals who will happily make you feel welcome in their land.

Review Nids Bungalows

"This is a new hostel, it's only been open about a month to backpackers, the lady there was so helpful with everything we wanted. Our room was spotless everyday and fresh fruit and water was given to us at every chance she seen us. It;s a good place to meet the locals as a lot of the workers from Cheweng live there. It's a little bit out of the way but still only a 5 min walk to the beach. The bungalows were set in lovely gardens with lovely touches like swinging chairs. Overall this was a great place to stay and Nid went out of her way to make us happy." Jessica Gilbert, June 21, 2008.

Excellent Value, Excellent Staff, Excellent Location
"Nids bungalows is located very close to the main attractions. Nid herself is very helpful and provides visitors with water and fruit everyday. The Bungalows are roomy and aircon is available for 100baht extra -- well worth it. Rooms are cleaned and fresh linen and towels are provided every day. You cannot beat this place on the island in terms of value for money. Motobikes are available for rent for only $7 a day. I highly recommend this accommodation for budget travelers who want to choose their own kind of holiday without wasting unnecessary money! Try Nids Bungalows, you will never be disappointed!"
