Area

Vibe & Who It’s For

Pros

Considerations

White Sand Beach (Hat Sai Khao)

Convenient & lively • Great for first-timers and families

Many eateries/shops • Long sandy beach • Easy transport

Busier • Higher prices for absolute beachfront

Klong Prao

Relaxed beachfront • Perfect for families & couples

Wide sandy stretches • Sunset views • Good mid-range value

Quieter nightlife • Some hotels set back from main road

Kai Bae

Café scene • Couples and small-group friendly

Restaurants & bars within walking distance • Nice sunsets

Beach segments narrower in parts

Lonely Beach

Backpacker vibe • Budget & social atmosphere

Low prices • Nightlife • Casual bungalows

Lively late nights • Limited premium beachfront

Bailan / Bang Bao

Laid-back • Nature lovers • Pier access for trips

Scenic coves • Close to boat tours & diving

Fewer shops • Longer ride to busy hubs

Rule of thumb: northwest coast (White Sand → Kai Bae) is most convenient for first visits. The far south trades convenience for tranquility and views.

2) Koh Chang Hotels by Budget

Budget (฿600–1,500)

  • Simple rooms or bungalows, fans or basic A/C
  • Short walk (3–10 mins) to the beach saves money
  • Great in Lonely Beach and inland lanes of White Sand/Kai Bae

Tip: Check recent guest photos for room condition and noise around nightlife streets.

Mid-range (฿1,500–3,500)

  • Beachfront or near-beach resorts with pools
  • Family rooms, kids’ pools, breakfast included
  • Strong in Klong Prao and Kai Bae

Value sweet spot for families—easy access + good facilities.

Premium (฿3,500+)

  • Beachfront villas & suites, larger pools, spas
  • Sunset bars, on-site restaurants, private stretch of sand
  • Found across White Sand, Klong Prao, and select southern coves

Book peak season early—beachfront sells out first.

Beachfront Family Rooms Pool Access Breakfast Included Quiet Zone

3) Popular Hotel Types

Beachfront Resorts

Best for sunset lovers and quick ocean dips. Expect loungers, beach bars, and easy access to cafés along the sand.

Garden & Hillside Stays

Leafy surroundings with better value. Many are 3–8 minutes’ walk from the beach—swap sea view for quiet nights.

Family-Friendly Hotels

Look for kids’ pools, larger family rooms, breakfast, and nearby mini-marts. Klong Prao is ideal.

Budget Bungalows

Simple, social, and cheap—popular around Lonely Beach. Check A/C, Wi-Fi strength, and late-night noise.

5) Booking Tips & Seasonal Notes

  • Peak (Nov–May): Reserve 1–2 weeks in advance. Prioritize beachfront if views/swimming matter.
  • Green Season (Jun–Oct): Best rates; choose flexible bookings and check sea/weather updates.
  • Room Selection: Corner rooms = quieter; ground floor = easier pool access; upper floors = better views.
  • Transport First: Secure your bus + ferry before finalizing check-in times.
  • Location Math: A 5–8 minute walk inland can save a lot vs absolute beachfront.

Heads-up: ATMs and mini-marts are easy to find in White Sand, Klong Prao, and Kai Bae. Farther south is quieter—great for unplugging, but plan essentials.

Cheapest months to stay?

Do I need to pre-book in peak season?

Yes—especially for New Year, Songkran, and long weekends. Secure transport and hotel at least 1–2 weeks ahead.
