From 1,750 Baht/night

Koh Chang Grand Orchid Resort and Spa is one of those places that makes you wonder what it would be like to be so wealthy that you could build a luxury resort and not care where it was located.  It is on the main road in Klong Son village, near the cement works and just down the road from the car repair shop and wood merchant.

It isn’t near the beach and you cant walk to the beach from the resort.  The nearest nightlife is in White Sand Beach, over the big hill.

There’s nothing wrong with the resort itself, built in a northern Thai Lanna style with teracotta tiled floors and chunky carved wooden furniture – just the location.

You might stay here if you are part of a Thai package tour but other than that you’re probably going to go for one of the better located resorts.  However, before you write it off it is worth noting that the room rates are competitive, they have  actually been reduced this year,  and it is better value for money than many beach resorts.  So if you are happy to rent a scooter and don’t need lots of touristy shops nearby then add it to your shortlist. 

Outside peak season and long weekends, you will probably find that you have the place pretty much to yourself.

Room Rates for 2011-12: From around 1,750 Baht in High Season
