D_Castaway Beach Club
Perched along the shores of Klong Phao Beach on Koh Chang, D_Castaway Beach Club is a beachfront venue operated under the Vignette Collection by IHG. It draws visitors looking for a laid-back coastal escape with easy access to one of Koh Chang's most scenic stretches of sand. The setting combines the natural appeal of a tropical island beach with the comfort and consistency of an established hospitality brand. Guests can expect a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere suited to long afternoons by the water. The club functions as a dining and leisure destination, offering food and drinks in a beachside setting where the pace is deliberately slow. Whether visitors are stopping in for a midday meal or winding down as the sun sets, the venue caters to those who want to enjoy the beach without sacrificing comfort or service quality. Good to know: D_Castaway Beach Club is open every day of the week from 11:00 in the morning through midnight, making it equally suitable for a leisurely lunch, a sunset drink, or a late evening out. As it is connected to the Vignette Collection property, guests staying nearby or at the hotel may find it convenient to check reservation options or dining details directly through the IHG website before visiting. Beachwear is fitting given the setting, though smart-casual attire is appropriate for evening visits.

Tips for Visiting Beaches
Check Monsoon Windows
Andaman coast beaches (Phuket, Krabi) have rough seas May–October. Gulf beaches (Samui, Hua Hin) are roughest October–December. Plan your beach trip around these windows for calm water and safe swimming.
Go Early for Empty Sand
Even the busiest beaches are nearly deserted before 9 AM. Sunrise walks on Kata, Chaweng, or Railay are magical — and you'll beat the heat for a morning swim.
Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen
Many Thai marine parks ban chemical sunscreens that damage coral. Bring reef-safe (mineral/zinc-based) sunscreen from home — it's harder to find and pricier in Thailand.
