Description
A series of new wooden and concrete bungalows, Pakarang resort is what passes for high-end accommodation on Ko Wai. The rooms are by far the nicest, with proper mirrors and sinks in the bathrooms and real glass windows to keep the mosquitoes at bay. Just like a resort back home staff can organise activities such as fishing tours, diving and karaoke nights. There's also a basketball court if you want to dunk something other than your head.

like Kevin I also returned here in Feb 2007. I agree with him that Paradise restrauant has gone way down and the prices have increased, and Pakarang's is now much better, with a much a more extensive menu.
we used to stay at Pakarang when the ensuite rooms were 350-400 baht but eat at Paradise and use the beach there - now that situation is reversed, as the bungalows on Paradise are still only 250 baht while Pakarang have doubled their prices in three years. (though they have upgraded the pathways and other facilities on the resort).
As regular visitors at Paradise, they don't even charge us for the kayaks anymore, so when the beach starts to fill up with daytrippers, we got into the habit of slipping on to one and paddling over to Pakarang for lunch.
Still nice. -

Paid 700B for the same bungalow that was 500B in 2005. Seems better now that Paradise is more overrun by day trips from Ko Chang and the restaurant at Paradise seems by my short test to have gone way down. Probably due to the excess volume of traffic. Coral is just the same and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There are two more cheap bungalow operations that I did not test the rooms or food.
OK huts, great beach -

Rooms not great for the price compared to Ko Chang but it is so different with no cars etc. Not as much as Paradise, but plenty of day trip visitors from Chang in the afternoon. Rooms open to mossies but had bed net cover.
better value than Paradise -

these ensuite rooms are much better value than Paradise, but the restrauant isn't as good. Also the beach isn't that pretty. Normally we stay here and walk to Paradise in the daytime to enjoy its much better beach and restrauant and have dinner at Pakarang.
