Mai Pen Rai Bungalows, situated in Than Sadet on the East coast of Koh Phangan, is one of the oldest resorts on the Island. The atmosphere is laid back, relaxed and slightly bohemian. It's like stepping back in time to the old rustic feel of the island. This is an ideal paradise to take a rest far from the more commercial scene of Koh Phangan. Bungalows range in price from 250–850 Baht.
The famous Than Sadet River meanders down the mountain side to join the sea beside the Mai Pen Rai Restaurant. Famous for the Kings of Thailand’s initials embossed on the rocks here, the river and falls here are a beautiful place to enjoy the nature all around.

Due to the remote situation of Than Sadet and the factor that it is in National Park territory, government electricity has not reached Than Sadet. This in fact adds to the charm of the place. Power is run by generator and is switched on from 11.00 am until 4.00 pm, and then again 6.00 pm until midnight.
Bungalows on the Beach and on the Rocks have been recently renovated to give more space, and an even more special feel, with the emphasis on maintaining the natural feel of Than Sadet and using natural and raw materials in the building of these rooms, incorporating some of the surrounding natural features into the design of the rooms. The new layout of the bathroom has a rustic but modern and clean design, using slates, stones and pebbles for the flooring and the walls. The rooms are bigger and more spacious and have been designed with the traveling spirit in mind for comfort, space and relaxation. All bungalows are equipped with hammock and fan.
