Although the location of funky fish is good, the management and restaurant staff are horrible. Despite us giving them a ridiculous amount of business initially - staying in their bungalows and eating in their restaurant they continued to throw strops every time we ordered something - as though it were such an inconvenience to them. Therefore we stopped ordering as... More

Long beach is beautiful and a great place to stay. We paid 700 baht a night between 3 of us so it was ridulously cheap. The bungalow was clean and it came with air con and a fridge, it is a 2 min walk to the beach. The restaurant was good and the food was cheap and nice.

Long beach is a beautiful place to relax and the Funky fish bungalows are in the right spot. They are very cheap at only 700bht so I did not expect any luxury but I definitely did expect a clean room! The room had termites all over, cob webs and spiders and little bugs climbing on the wall, the curtains were... More

We were advised by a local person not to eat at this restaurant, and I wish we had listened to him. We decided to dine at The Funky Fish, as the restaurant was very busy which is always and usually a good indication of its popularity. The service was poor, and we had to wait for almost an hour before... More

Went to the beach here. Had an umberella and two sunbeds on the beach. The service from the staff is second to none. We had lunch, drinks, and an early dinner. Not only was the taste of the food excellent, the value for money was brilliant also.

stayed here for 4 nights after looking around for somewhere to stay with AC. paid just 600 baht a night for an AC-room, although the AC-rooms is about 200-400 metres up from the beach compared to the fan-rooms that are about 50-100 metres from the beach it didn't feel that long walk. Don't know if they cleaned our bungalow during... More

one of my favorite places to stay in thailand, hands down. not fancy, but has everything you need (ie. bed, aircon, fridge, toilet, shower, little verandah) at anything from $15-$35 a night. what makes this place fantastic is the beach and restaurant. you can sit with your feet in the sand, watch the kids play in the warm, calm ocean,...

Great stretch of beach a short walk away. So so restaurant. Bungalow rather dirty. Old but comfy bed. Ask for a top sheet. Price is right. You get what you pay for.

We stayed here for six nights in February 2012. We'd not booked ahead so, after arriving at Long Beach, we dumped our bags at one of the restaurants, and went in search of a place to stay. We viewed about 3 or 4 places on Long Beach. February is a busy time so not all places were available, but of... More
