HeartThais Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thinking about Koh Chang for Christmas holiday. Would like to catch some sun, go diving, eat some good food, relax by the pool. Any thoughts on whether it is a good choice and where to stay? As far as hotels, I'm not too discerning. I'm perfectly happy with places like Admiral Premier, Dynasty Grande. The Dynasty Inn in Pattaya was a bit rough though and wouldn't like to do that again. Beachside bungalow type would be great.

The locals have limited the expansion. Worth a go for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiceMan Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 There's not much to do on Koh Chang except laze around by the pool or go diving. I stayed at Cliff Beach Resort and thought it was good. I recommend the cliff top rooms which have a nice view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Is there a village/town? Any night life/bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The main tourist villages are White Sand Beach (biggest), Klong Prao, Kai Bae, Lonely Beach and Bang Bao. Maybe around 70 beer bars alltogether in White Sand, Klong Prao and Kai Bae, couple of discos, beach parties at Lonely Beach. Nightlife is ok during the busiest season, otherwise it's pretty quiet.

unit731 Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Any inexpensive hotels White Sand Ko Chang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 http://www.alinaresort.com/english/introduction.php This is one option, close to the main beer bar complex. There might be better value places though as I'm not so familiar with hotels on White Sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
