A journey to the heart of the Burmese coast
Golden Sea Resort is the best kept secret in the Bay of Bengal. This unclassifiable place next to the Emerald Sea Hotel in Ngew Saung is an enigmatic beachfront hotel, first line. Six bungalows are cheesy to me, but perfectly hidden. There is no road sign indicating the place. It is a budget hotel that is ideal for fragile and unscrupulous adventurers. At 100 m from the sea it is very basic, $10 for a single and $15 for a double. It has 2 cement bunglows, fanless, no hot water, and it only has electricity 19:00-22:00. Perfect for backpackers who want to live without fuss in a decrepit bungalow on the edge of the sea.
Golden Sea Resort is the place. Double bed, unsophisticated bathroom, Burmese style, cement porch, plastic tables, coconuts and 4 chairs. The hotel has 4 rooms. The roof of the bungalow is rusty. There are 2 rattan bungalows but they are for Burmese tourists. The 4 bungalows have double beds, the veneered ceilings are chipped. It is a real low-budget beach experience. You couldn't find anything closer to the water than these bungalows. They seem to be abandoned but miraculously are not. Golden Sea Resort was not dead, she was out partying! The ideal destination for travelers seeking the authentic. After the windows just sand and sea, no fuss, no bullshit. For seekers of the good. Tiled floor, light bulbs hanging from the ceiling ... but the beach is the same for everyone. Golden Resort Experience: A journey to the heart of the Burmese coast.
