Ko Chang Travel Forum

We want to go to Nature Beach Resort this X-mas.
We've been there in 2003/2004 and had a great time.
Can someone help me with the e-mail adress of Nature Beach Resort? I've lost it.....;-((
Thanks!!

I am off to Ko Chang in March and am wanting some advise where to stay which would be good for family with children. I would prefer somewhere with a nice pool. That is not over the top priced.

Hello,
I'm heading to White Sand Beach in just over a week and was curious as to if I should book something before going or if we'll be able to find a nice bungalow for pretty cheap on the beach?
Thanks for the help!

how do you get to ko kood? i have heard you can only get there on fridays and saturdays from laem ngob pier in trat at 9AM only. does anyone know what time and what day the boat leaves ko kood? i tried emailing the resort i want to stay at without any luck. Im hoping to go in June any info would be gratefully received. thanks

I'm coming from KL to Ko Chang on 26 Jan and prefer to avoid Bangkok. Does anyone know if planes go direct to Trat from KL?

Other alternatives: I gather there is a train from Ekhamai although I can't see it goes anywhere near Trat. Does anyone know please?

Hi, my flight lands in Bangkok from Hong Kong at 02:30am on 2nd/Feb/08. We would like to catch the earliest bus from Eastern Bus Terminal(Ekkamai)at 07:45am to Center Point Pier (Trat).
Our questions are:
1)How long does the taxi take from the airport to Eastern Bus Terminal?
2)Is it possible to buy the bus tickets at the bus station that early in the morning?
3) Is there any website we can book the bus tickets online?
Many thanks.

I go to Ko Chang in January (26) and plan to go to Lonely Beach but want to book before I go. Found something on Klong Prao but not sure where it is in relation to Lonely Beach. Does anyone know if there is a map of Ko Chang which gives distances and beaches?

Also I have to fly back from KL and not sure how long it will take? (bus/train or plane) which is best?

Any info would be welcome

Hello,

I'm off to Ko Chang with friends and family in a couple of weeks. We really want to go somewhere close to Bangkok as we only have 12 days, so Ko Chang seemed to be the sensible option.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to stay (budget but nice - looking to spend maybe £10-£15 per night) and what to do when we are there?

Or, if you think i should head somewhere else i'd be glad to know also,

thanks

Hi,

Could anybody recommend any companies or travel agents that organize transfers from Koh Chang to Siem Reap? Is it a safe way to travel?

Thanks in advance for all advices!!!

Hi everyone,

Can you please help me.
I'm going to Thailand for the 1st time in October.
After spending a few days in Bangkok and then I want to head south.

I've been reading around and narrowed my search to either Ko Chang or Koh Saumu.

Can anyone make a recommendation on which is best?

I'm looking for something thats fairly quite but not too quite. Generally away from the 'partying' crowds and 'girly bars'
Somewhere with nice beaches, somewhere to chill out, kayak, preferably near nature reserves and nice local food.

Thanks in advance

Sorry in advance for the long post. I am going to Thailand in December - January with some Thai friends. I have been given the option of a 4 day/3night trip to Phuket or a 4 day/3 night trip to Ko Kut.

Previously, I visited Ko Samet with my friends which was very enjoyable. We stayed in a beach cottage on a fairly secluded bay with a very nice clean beach. There was a much busier beach a short walk away with many more tourists which was fun to see for an evening and good for food and drinks, but not really my thing. I preferred the quiet beach, walking, swimming, snorkeling, canoeing, and the lovely locals we met.

However, knowing that Phuket / Krabi / Phi Phi are considered some of the most beautiful scenic areas in the world, it is a bit hard to pass up a trip there. I also know that Ko Kut is going to be about half the price of a stay in Phuket.

Can anyone with experience help me out with this decision? In Phuket, we would be traveling with a friend who lives nearby, so would having a car give us options to visit places more secluded but still spectacular? Can the scenery of Ko Kut possibly live up to the Andaman coast?

Hi, can someone tell me the best way to travel from trat to pattaya, not public transport. There are 3 of us, roughly how much will it cost.

Thanks

Hi everyone, we are planning to travel to Ko Chang around mid March, for a week or so. Our doctor tells us from their charts that the island is a malaria risk, more so than the rest of Thailand.

What do you think are genuinely the risks here? We are trying to get away without taking any anti-malarial drugs, as we are concerned with the side effects they may have.

We would appreciate any advice if you have first hand knowledge of this.

Thanks!

hi - we are going to Koh Chang in February this year and we are staying at the Tropicana Hotel on Klong Prao beach - can anyone tell me what the hotel or area are like - are there shops etc in this area and is it far from White Sands?

Many thanks.

The choice is between KC Grand Resort in White Sands beach, or Siam Beach resort in Lonley Beach.....?? Help!
I have been studying Koh Chang, and have narrowed down these two spots...KC is in white sands, is it really that noisy and crowded on that beach??,,,,,or is Siam on Lonely beach, or too quiet down there? My friend and I are not into the party scene,but like to go out for a drink and mingle, and we like to be around some people with choices of restaurants and things to do...would apperciate any feedback from ones who have been or live there...thanks so much!!
Oh by the way , we are going the 3rd week in february if that helps or makes a difference!

Thanks again!
