Parama Koh Chang is a welcome addition to the ranks of Koh Chang’s 4 star hotels. It’s a boutique resort, with only 19 rooms and suites in the main resort. However there are additional, cheaper rooms, at a nearby annex.

A unique aspect, and the main highlight, of Parama Koh Chang is the seawater aquarium which surrounds the resort, here you can watch, or snorkel with, turtles and variety of tropical fish right outside your room.
The resort is located in Salakphet Bay in the quiet south-east of the island. Whilst the resort itself isn’t on the beach, it does have a private island, a short (free) boat ride away where guests can relax on a pristine white sand beach with panoramic views of the bay.
The obvious downside – for many potential guests – will be the remoteness. There’s not much within walking distance other than a few small Thai style resorts; a minimart and couple of local restaurants. And no beach at the resort itself, you have to take a boat. But a good choice if you can ride a scooter, in order to get out and see the surrounding area. Or if you simply want a quiet spot, great views and very few tourists.
Note that the inexpensive standard rooms are located about 200 metres from the main resort. In 2016, Parama took over a nearby resort, remodelled it and now use it as a cheaper option for guests.
Relax and Unwind a little luxury in the quiet part of Ko Chang 😀 - A smaller boutique resort on the quiet side of Koh Chang (which we were well aware of). There is no beach front here however the pool was lovely. Huge soft beds, large bathroom includes bath and front decking. Friendly staff just remember not a much English though but that didn't stop us from communicating. Feeding the fish and turtles at their restaurant was novel and there was the ability to use kayaks and take a free boat across to a neighbouring island if desired. Recommend hiring car or motor bike if coming to this resort to enable you to explore the area. 15 minute driving approx in different directions to explore Long beach also the ghost ship or head another direction Salak Phet Seaford restaurant and the fishing village with boats trips. This is a place to relax, unwind without crowds and picturesque garden with the rooms nestled in definitely stay two nights minimum so that you can leisurely explore. Thoroughly enjoyed. 😞 - Honestly nothing bad, it was lovely, the food had both options Western and Thai was cooked well and definitely not overpriced for a resort, it just can not compete with some other places we personally have been too. Don't expect a big buffet breakfast spread, it's a la carte (menu cook to order) which we totally appreciate not to waste food when there are smaller number of guests that can stay at this resort. This is the bonus of this type of resort sitting without hustle and bustle.

I am already planning my next trip. I loved it 😀 - staff were fabulous. views were beautiful and food was excellent 😞 - the jacuzzi bath has stale water in the pumps and smelled horrible. space beside bed on right hand side was too narrow to actually walk up and cause me to bruise my leg.
