Farang Bar is a basic guest house with rooms with shared bathroom and free WiFi. The bar and restaurant gets a steady stream of local expats as well as plenty of tourists on their way to the islands or other parts of Thailand. The staff speak a fair amount of English. The offerings include 50 baht 330 ml beers, excellent western food and Thai food. Ivor the farang can also provide advice regarding Ko Tao and arrange bookings for you if needed i.e., he calls them and reserves. He does not sell tickets, unless you want him to. Very handy in high season.
