Koh Chang Island is Thailand’s third largest island, after Phuket and Samui, and it is located a few hours east of the capital city Bangkok. It is most known for its beaches, namely Kai Bae, Klong Prao, White Sand, and Lonely Beach. You can also do lots of other non-beach activities, like visit Mu Koh Chang Nature Park, hike up the mountain, visit the hidden waterfalls, and interact with some elephants. Getting around Koh Chang is done by cab, bus, or personal vehicles; the nearest airport is in Trat, on the mainland, 17 miles (28 km) north. You’ll need a place to stay here, so we’ve selected the 10 best Airbnb vacation rentals here in Koh Chang, Thailand. You can read more on these generous accommodations below.
1. Bungalow for two close to nature (from USD 25)
Do you like being close to nature? This accommodation is as close as you can get. The bungalow here accommodates two and it is themed like a hut, but still has conveniences like lights, power, and Wi-Fi. The bathrooms are still modern, and they have heated showers. Outside, the resort feels more like a luxury reserve than a seaside resort. You can enjoy the scrumptious meals in the restaurant, both local and foreign. You can also sip some coffee during breakfast. The resort won’t make you feel completely isolated, even on an offshore island like Koh Chang.
