There's a selection of good-sized bungalows on this island in the west of the archipelago, all perched just metres from an idyllic beach and a horseshoe-shaped bay. The accommodation isn't worth the tariff, but you're paying for unique access and the cost includes the boat transfer to/from Kawthoung. Free kayaks and snorkelling gear, and diving can be arranged.
