Koh Chang Resort
Compare prices
Nestled on the shores of Koh Chang in Trat Province, this resort offers a relaxed, unpretentious base for exploring one of Thailand's largest islands. The property features two swimming pools, a private beach, and open-air dining, making it a practical choice for travellers seeking direct beach access without the bustle of larger hotel complexes. The airy accommodations suit those who prioritise a laid-back island atmosphere over luxury amenities. Guests can expect a casual, low-key environment that reflects the natural character of Koh Chang itself. The open-air dining area provides a relaxed setting to enjoy meals, and the combination of beach and pool access gives visitors flexibility in how they spend their days. The resort's setting makes it a reasonable option for couples or independent travellers looking to unwind rather than be immersed in a resort-style experience. Good to know: the resort operates daily from 06:30 to 22:00, so guests should factor in the reception closing time when planning late arrivals or departures. Koh Chang is best visited between November and April during the dry season, when seas are calmer and weather is more predictable. The island is accessible via ferry from the mainland pier at Laem Ngop, near Trat, so travellers should plan their transfers in advance. Checking availability directly through the resort's website before booking is advisable given the property's size.
