Looking for a place to stay in Ko Chang island?

Even though Ko Chang is quite tourisy, you can still find cheap huts and bungalows on the island.

Lonely Beach is the place to go if you want budget options and loud parties at the same time! It's definitely THE backpacker beach of Ko Chang.

Lonely Beach is not like White Sand beach. White Sand is packed with people, shops and 7-11s. It's very developed and touristy in my opinion.

But Lonely Beach is far more charming and relaxing.

Now, here are some of your options:

Accommodation on Lonely Beach

Independent Yod

Price per night: 150 B

Probably your cheapest option on Ko Chang island! The huts are very simple and small, have fan and shared bathroom.

You crash here if you just want a simple base or if you're on a really tight budget.

Where: The road to Sunset, Lonely Beach

Oasis

Accommodation on Chai Chet Beach




Search for hotels in Koh Chang:
If you're looking for a quieter beach on Ko Chang island, go to Chai Chet!

Chai Chet may not be on the top list for most backpackers coming to Koh Chang, because many travelers go to Lonely beach.

I stayed near Chai Chet a couple of nights and enjoyed the calm atmosphere on the beach. I actually had space around me compared to White Sand Beach, and the beach was quiet and clean.

If you get tired of laying still, try the swings hanging from the palm trees!

Or take a long walk while enjoying the excellent view of the ocean.

These are the accommodations I tried near Chai Chet beach:

J.V. Hotel

Price per night: 500 B (Jan 2008)

Large rooms with TV, attached bathroom, hot shower, air-con and fridge. When I stayed there, there were a lot of Thai tourists and few foreigners. So that's why they don't charge higher price than this.

It takes 5 minutes to walk to the Chai Chet beach, and a spitting distance to food stalls and the supermarket.

Where: Pass the supermarket and the food stalls.

Saigars Bungalows

Ko Chang accommodation: Saigars bungalows

Price per night: 500-800 B

I spent one night at Saigars near Chai Chet beach in Jan 2008, and booked through a travel agent in Bangkok.

The staff was great and welcoming. Bungalow was alright. It came with a large bed and attached bedroom, but it was very dusty on the floor.

The place was at that time quite new, and nothing much was happening in the evenings. I felt like I was the only person staying at this place.

But now, they have a pool and a cool bar.

What I didn't like about Saigars was its location. To get to Chai Chet beach, I had to walk for at least 20 minutes.

At that time, there weren't any shortcuts to the beach (which I was aware of).
