Bottle Beach Restaurants (Bottle Beach 1, Bungabow, Smile)
9° 47.6′ N · 100° 2.1′ E
A road-less bay with just a few resort restaurants on the sand, where the only way in is by boat or a jungle trail.
Practical
Coordinate is Bottle Beach 1 (Wikivoyage, matching OpenStreetMap). Wikivoyage lists two restaurants: Bottle Beach 1 (perhaps the slightly better of the two) and Bottle Beach 2 (9.792N 100.0364E; a 2023 note says be patient and check the bill). OpenStreetMap maps Bungabow Restaurant at that second position, plus Smile Bungalows' restaurant at the west end, which also has a small store and laundry. Wikivoyage: there are no ATMs, no 7-Elevens and no local restaurants, so bring cash. Taxi-boats run to Chaloklum (2016 schedule from Bottle Beach 1 resort at 100 THB a person; verify locally). Anchor off and dinghy in; the bay faces north and is untenable in NE-monsoon swell.
