Ko Chang Travel Forum

I spent a few weeks on Lonely Beach back in March, and remember there being talk of the Treehouse closing down. Although I wasn't staying in their huts, I found the place along with Nature Rocks a fun place to hang out in the evenings. Does anyone know if the Treehouse on Lonely Beach is still open, and, if possible, for how long ? (am thinking of going back in January!)

Has anyone stayed here before? I want to contact to the resort directly for some inquiry. Anyone knows the email address or telephone no. of the resort?

Or any feedback about this resort is appreciated. This is my first time to Koh Chang with 2 kids under 5yrs old. Thanks!

would like the names of some places to stay, looking for a bunglow ON THE BEACH, maximum price 2000 baht/night, with air con

Hi!
Any info about Klong Prao Beach (I think it is the next beach to south from White sand beach)?
How is the water here? Clean? Clear? Nice and blue? is it very deep or shallow/save to swim?
And how is the ocean in July? very strong waves/currents?

Is there any shops + tailors + restaurants near Klong Prao?

Any comments about the hotel Klong Prao resort?

is there nightlife in w.s.b. or is better to take 2 or 3 books?
thanks v.m.

I am trying to find out if there is a direct boat service from Ko Chang to Ko Samui, and if so how often and approx costing????

I've heared many good things about these two island but I have problems finding transportation from Bangkok. Well, I know I can take the bus down to one of the quays, but I don't know how to get out to Ko Mak or Ko Kood. I see that resort hotels offer speedboat service. Would it be best to buy such a package or are there ferries to these islands?
And when I got your attention; any recommendations for hotels/bungalows? A friend told me many good things about Shambala Resort on Ko Kood.
I will be there in mid November.
Best wishes,
Anders

Hi

My wife and I are thinking about going to Thailand next year and since we have been to Phuket, Samui, Krabi, Hua Hin etc we would like to try something new and we have been looking at Koh Chang. But when we started reading about this island we found different opinions about the beaches. What are the beaches of Koh Chang like? What is the sand quality like? Is is great for taking a swim? Or is it to shallow? Would love to hear from someone that has been there and that have personal experience.

Regards

The plane i be taking will arrive Suvarnabhumi Airport at 12.15pm and i guess i would be out and ready to board a bus or minivan around 1.15pm

I would like to take a bus or minivan ...instead of the plane to save cost..

From what i know the last ferry to koh chang is from centrepoint pier at 1900hrs..I would like to catch the last ferry...

If that is not possible, I would like to take a speedboat or private ferry to there for less than 500 Baht...

any idea how long i would reach the pier from Suvarnabhumi Airport? will i get there in time to catch the last ferry if i leave at 2pm latest if unlucky??

I'm going to Thailand end November/December & am going to be around for the full moon. I was wondering if there's anyway of book a hut at Maggie's Place in advance for when I get there?

Any experience?

I have just booked some flights to Bangkok leaving on the 22 July and hope to travel down to Ko Chang around the last week of July/ First week of August. How affected would I be by rainfall? My boyfriend has never been to Thailand before and he is hoping for sunshine. I went to Ko Samet in the Gulf around 6 years ago in August and was hardly affected by rain at all. Can I expect the same sort of weather in Ko Chang or should I look for some where else??

Hi all,

We're looking to spend a relaxing week on Ko Chang in September.
How will the weather be? Better than Samui (we do like sun...).
Any accomodation you suggest? Clean, friendly, on the beach...

thx

Hi,

We are heading to Ko Chang (the one near Trat)in the next few weeks and are looking for good value accomodation, we don't really want to spend more than 600 baht for a double with private bathroom.

What will the weather be like in June, will we need air con?

The Lonely Planet makes it look a bit expensive, does the price drop in the low season and am I going in the low season??

Thanks

Am going to Thailand on May 12th and was wondering if anyone had any information on Maggies Place (Guesthouse/treehouse) on Lonely Beach, Ko Chang ?

Stayed there in Jan 2005 and heard she was closing due to pressure from landowner (Ko Chang was being rapidly converted into a tourist hotspot a la "Phuket style"

Anyone out there know if the treehouse is still open for business ?

I plan to spend a few days at Koh Chang end of March. Can anyone make any recommendations on yoga courses and places to contact on the west side of the island.
