Siam Bay Resort

Handcrafted by Ian on August 28, 2011 2 Comments

Room rates from 1,200 baht

Siam Bay Resort is in a secluded location at the far southern end of Kai Bae Beach. It’s a very peaceful spot with no loud bars, annoying beach vendors or guests from other resorts wandering past your bungalow.

It was one of the first resorts on Koh Chang but recently it has undergone a dramatic facelift with new beachfront bungalows, sea view villas, pool villas and reception, restaurant and pool area all being constructed in the past year or two. Some of the older hillside bungalows remain and these provide good value accommodation for families of 4-7 people.

The new sea view and pool villas provide some of the best value accommodation on the island. The are brand new. The sea view villas are 60sqm in size and pool villas are approximately 100sqm and cost less than a standard room at many of the larger 3 star beachfront resorts on the island. From 2,500 – 4,000 baht/night.

Of course the downside is that due to the peaceful location, it is a bit of a walk to get to the bright lights of Kai Bae village, it’s about 15 minutes walk along the beach to the north. So this isn’t a resort for anyone who loves their nightlife. But for families or anyone looking for some well appointed 3 star comforts on a budget then it’s definitely recommended.

Photos:

Beach Bungalow: Right by the sea. AC, separate tropical bathroom with Hot Water shower, Cable TV, minifridge, ceiling fan and a very spacious terrace. Double or Twin.

Family Bungalow: Sea Views, 1 minute walk to the beach, AC, two single mattresses on the ground floor in front of the TV and two big queen sized mattresses on a half open floor upstairs, western bathroom, TV. Plenty of space for a family with 4-5 kids.

Bay View Bungalow: On the hillside with privacy and best views, AC, TV, double bed, small western bathroom and a terrace with 2 sunbeds. (Can add extra double floor mattress to sleep 4 people)

Sea View Villa: 60sqm, AC, stylish bathroom, large closet area, TV, large sea view balcony and floor to ceiling sliding glass doors to allow the fresh sea breeze in.

Pool Villa: 100sqm. Similar design to Sea View Villas but with the addition of a plunge pool and separate living room.

my dearest kohchang… :)

this is going to be first time for me in Thailand and the second one for my wife. After she came back from a business trip there a couple of months ago you can imagine there were no other holiday options for us starting that breaking point except Thailand and… Koh Chang. To save the money for all kinds of fun stuff we decided to go independently without the full packages and tours and your site was one of the best resources that we were able to find online, mate. I will definitely tell all my folks thinking of going to Thai about Koh Chang, you and your web port… no promises as to a bottle of Cab Souv but if i find you on the isle (flying out of Almaty Friday this week) there will be a fine bottle of Kazakhstan cognac in my backpack for you… :)))

thanx a lot, anna & sergey

You can’t escape the fact that this is a hotel trying to escape its backpacker roots and move upscale – It has something of an ‘unfinished look’ – exposed plastic tubing here and there and a restaurant that has yet to upgrade its offering – That said, we have really enjoyed our stay here. We had one of the new seaview villas – not super luxurious, but good air-conditioning, free water, and a hot shower. The water around here is very shallow, so perfect for kids and weak swimmers like myself! At low tide you can walk over to the other resorts on Kai Bae beach like Sea View resort and Porn Bungalows for dinner – the food is better there.
The resort also has two infinity pools – the one up the hill is almost always deserted – lovely to have the place to yourself.
The resort is somewhat isolated, being right at the end of Kaie Bae beach so you do end up calling a lot of taxis to get to the roadside villages so factor that into your budget!
We were very happy here but we did notice one couple left after only just one day — It was clear they were expecting a luxury resort – THIS IS NOT THE CASE – I would call it more budget luxury — with that in mind, you will have a great time here.
