Compare prices
Nestled on Koh Chang, one of Thailand's largest and most scenic islands in Trat Province, SYLVAN Koh Chang offers travellers a resort experience rooted in natural surroundings and island tranquillity. The name itself reflects the property's setting, with lush tropical greenery characteristic of Koh Chang's forested interior and coastline forming a backdrop to the stay. It appeals to those seeking a slower pace away from Thailand's busier tourist hubs. Guests can expect comfortable lodging with the kind of relaxed atmosphere that suits both couples and independent travellers looking to explore the island. Koh Chang itself offers a range of attractions including beaches, jungle trekking, waterfalls, and snorkelling, making the resort a practical base for island activities. The property's consistently strong guest ratings point to a reliable standard of hospitality and accommodation quality. Practically speaking, Koh Chang is accessible via ferry from the mainland pier at Ao Thammachat or Ao Sapparot, near Laem Ngop in Trat. The island is best visited between November and April, when rainfall is lower and sea conditions are calmer. Prospective guests are advised to book directly through the official website at sylvankohchang.com to check current availability, room types, and any seasonal pricing, as the island sees higher demand during the dry season peak period.
