Chai Chet Resort
Compare prices
Chai Chet Resort sits along the waterfront on Koh Chang, offering a relaxed base for travellers looking to explore one of Thailand's largest islands without the bustle of its more crowded beach strips. The resort's easygoing character makes it a natural fit for those who prefer a quieter pace, whether that means lounging by the pool, watching the water, or simply unwinding between island adventures. Guests can expect unpretentious, comfortable accommodation with a genuine resort feel. Breakfast is included, which takes one decision off the table each morning, and on-site dining means there is no pressure to venture far if the mood calls for staying put. The pool provides a welcome retreat from the humidity, and the waterfront setting gives the property a pleasant, open atmosphere that suits both couples and independent travellers. Koh Chang is accessible by ferry from the mainland province of Trat, making it a manageable destination from Bangkok with a combination of bus or flight and ferry. The island experiences a pronounced wet season between May and October, so travellers seeking the most reliable beach weather are better served by visiting between November and April. Booking directly through the resort's website is worth considering, as it may offer more flexibility than third-party platforms. Given the property's solid reputation and waterfront position, securing a reservation in advance during the high season is advisable.
