I once said if I lived in Bangkok, there is very little else I could want from life.

Unless rampant commercialism is your thing (and you really need to stay next to a 7 eleven), most of the accommodation here isn’t exactly “on the beach” but nearer the road.

My personal favourite spot is Khlong Prao beach. For a good choice of budget accommodation, try Ban Rim Naam at www.iamkohchang.com. The beach on this stretch is more secluded than on White Sands, and I wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else on Koh Chang.

As Thailand’s second largest island, this place is still not as developed as Samui or Phuket – which is a really good thing! Visit before it becomes another Samui!
