Forra Bamboo Resort

Bungalows

Forra Bamboo Resort was opened in 2006 and is comprised of 18 well-designed, spacious bungalows, built mainly from bamboo and natural materials by craftsmen from northern Thailand.

The resort has been designed to take consideration of the natural environment and to leave as much space between bungalows as possible, to give maximum privacy.

Every bungalow has a large terrace and some have great sea view. Some bungalows have a mezzanine floor with an upper window (for a good view!)

Each bungalow has a fan (electricityall 24/7), although between the months of November and March you will probably not find a fan necessary due to the nightly northeast wind, which blows away most mosquitoes and makes this side of the island cool and pleasant for sleeping.
