Koh Chang Bailan Beach Resort

4.1(501 reviews)

Koh Chang Bailan Beach Resort sits directly on the shore of southern Koh Chang, offering a relaxed retreat from the busier northern end of the island. The resort features Thai-style bungalows and suites that reflect the tropical character of the surroundings, making it a fitting choice for travellers seeking a straightforward beach holiday with a local aesthetic rather than a polished international hotel experience. Guests have access to three swimming pools alongside on-site dining, which means most of what is needed for a comfortable stay is within the property itself. The laid-back atmosphere suits couples and independent travellers looking to unwind, though the resort's position on the quieter southern coast of Koh Chang means it appeals particularly to those who prefer a slower pace over proximity to nightlife and busier tourist infrastructure. Good to know: Koh Chang is most comfortably visited between November and April, when rainfall is lower and sea conditions are calmer. The resort's southern location along Bailan Bay requires either a rental vehicle or taxi to reach the main ferry pier and northern beaches, so travellers without their own transport should factor this into planning. Booking directly through the resort's Facebook page is advisable, as this is the primary point of contact listed for reservations and enquiries.
