Description
Long-haired freaky people certainly need not apply at the Grand Lagoona, one of the poshest resorts on Ko Chang. The resort caters almost exclusively to getaways from the skyscrapers of Bangkok. Rumour has it that Thai royal family stayed here during the annual Songkran festival in April, 2006. Entrance into the grounds alone costs 150B, which is refunded if you stay overnight at the resort. It's clear from this unusual arrangement that the hotel gets a fair number of day trippers, despite its considerable distance from the nearest town of Bang Bao, along a petrifyingly steep road. Visitors are attracted either to the long stretch of sandy beach or the amazing accommodation. With the exception of a few fairly normal wooden bungalows lining a picturesque khlong, all of the rooms at Grand Lagoona are in boats. Standard rooms are all in a huge Titanic-worthy cruise ship. Although a little old-fashioned and smelling of damp they are clean and comfortable. Larger suite-style rooms are in individual boats moored throughout the grounds. Plenty of activities are offered, from squid fishing and snorkelling to boat trips and free kayak and paddle boat rental. All rates include breakfast and activities inside resort.

Nirvana Resort
12/4-5 Moo 1, Bang Bao, Ko Chang
Set well back from the muddy banks of Bang Bao, Nirvana is a modest but very well-appointed little resort. Nirvana has its own private beach, but there's a lot of rocks amongst the bleached white sand. Never mind that, though, there are two swimming pools, as well as a wet-bar and high-speed... more
