Diamond Sand Palace
Description
Duck larb and yam curry are the reason to eat at Diamond Sand Palace even if you’re sleeping elsewhere. The restaurant does Thai food with enough punch to keep dinner interesting for three weeks, and the drinks hold up for a long, unhurried beach evening.
The bungalows are individual, spacious, and quietly kept, with properly comfortable beds and thoughtful basics such as filtered bottled water. They are not glossy new-build rooms; expect a relaxed, lived-in beach stay with good amenities and no pool soundtrack ricocheting off the sun loungers.
Klong Dao Beach sits just beyond the restaurant strip, reached through the neighbouring beachfront places. Shops and other restaurants are close enough for a wander, while the bungalow area stays calm after dark.
Martin knows the island and can sort moped rental, excursion ideas, and onward minibus transport without turning the stay into a sales pitch. Diamond Sand Palace suits travellers who value a quiet bungalow, strong Thai cooking, and a beach within sandals-on distance; polished resort spectacle can carry on elsewhere.
