Bhuvarin Resort

4.3(319 reviews)

Bhuvarin Resort sits on the southern side of Koh Chang, one of Thailand's largest and most forested islands in Trat Province. The resort caters to travellers looking for a comfortable, mid-range base from which to explore the island's beaches, jungle trails, and coastal villages, without the busier atmosphere found on the island's more heavily developed western shore. Guests can expect a resort-style setting with a calm, laid-back atmosphere that reflects the quieter character of southern Koh Chang. The property draws consistent positive feedback from visitors, reflecting a reliable standard of hospitality and accommodation. Its location on the southern end of the island means travellers are positioned away from the main tourist strip, which suits those seeking a more peaceful stay while still having access to the island's wider amenities. Practical note: Koh Chang is best visited between November and April, during the dry season, when weather conditions are most favourable for beach activities and island exploration. The resort accepts reservations through its online booking portal via Cloudbeds, so securing accommodation in advance is advisable during peak season. Getting to Koh Chang requires a ferry crossing from the mainland, and taxis or songthaews are the main transport options once on the island, so travellers should plan their arrival and onward journey accordingly.
