The Cottages are in Srithanu on Koh Phangan's west coast, a minute's walk back from the water and about four from Zen Beach. This is the walkable part of the village: the beach, the cafés, a gym, massage and the Orion centre are all within a couple of minutes, and there is a laundry half a minute from the gate, so you can leave the scooter parked for days at a time. Choose this if you want a house with room for everyone and the beach close enough to walk to. If you want the sea directly outside your door, the Beach Resort is on the sand itself; if you want a pool of your own and do not mind riding, the Pool Villas sit inland.
