About The ERAWAN

The Erawan is a contemporary hotel situated on Koh Chang, one of Thailand's largest and most scenic islands, positioned close to a white-sand beach in the relatively peaceful Trat province. The property appeals to travelers seeking a relaxed island base without sacrificing modern comfort, offering rooms in a contemporary style with select accommodations providing sea views that make the most of the surrounding coastal setting.

Guests can expect a laid-back atmosphere in keeping with Koh Chang's unhurried pace, with the beach within easy reach for swimming, sunbathing, or simply unwinding. The hotel's location along Thanon Rural places it within the island's quieter coastal corridor, making it a practical choice for those who prefer a calmer alternative to the busier resort strips. With a solid guest rating reflecting consistent visitor satisfaction, the property suits couples, solo travelers, and small groups looking for a comfortable retreat on the island.

Practically speaking, Koh Chang is best visited between November and April when the dry season brings calmer seas and clearer skies. Travelers should note that reaching the island requires a ferry crossing from the mainland pier near Trat, so factoring in travel time from Bangkok or Trat Airport is worthwhile when planning arrival. Booking in advance is advisable during the peak season months of December and January, when accommodation across the island fills quickly.

Tips for Visiting Hotels & Resorts

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Location Matters More Than Stars

A well-located 3-star hotel often beats a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, staying near a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the beach you actually want matters most.
