Klong Prao

Annika Resort

Annika Resort, Klong Prao

First the bad news, if you want to see the sea or even be able to easily walk to the sea from your resort on Koh Chang then Annika Resort isn’t the resort for you.

But all is not lost.  The rooms are good value and there is a regular shuttle that takes guests to the beach at The Dewa, Annika’s sister resort at the southern end of Klong Prao beach. In addition the resort was renovated during covid and had a name change from Ramayana to Annika

And there are more plus points.  Good quality rooms of a 3 star standard and very reasonable room rates, which are a couple of thousand Baht/night cheaper than an equivalent room right on the beach.   In addition the resort does have great sunrise views over the inland mountains – a view that you won’t see if you are staying by the beach.

Pool at Ramayana Resort, Koh Chang

So for anyone in need of a comfortable, contemporary room and happy to rent a scooter or car to get around and swap a beachfront location for considerable savings on room rates then Annika Resort would be ideal.  

The area around the resort is quiet, there are a couple of restaurants on the river, near Aana Resort, 5 minutes walk away and a couple of roadside cheap Thai restaurants and small mini-mart in the vicinity. But you’re probably going to want to hop on a pick up truck taxi in the evening and head to one of the busier areas to dine out.

Good value and recommended, so long as you are fully aware of the lack of beach and lack of shops & nightlife nearby.


A for sure treat for the mind, body and soul 😀 - I mean there is very little not to like, the magically beautiful garden with I think too many different species of plants to count, all these different sections (including the pool, gym and spa) perfectly blended into each other with the cute creeks streaming through it. The entire property is a work of art. 😞 - None

Very good 😀 - Beautiful pool & garden. Close to main road for songthaew taxis to other parts of the island. Room cool, quiet & comfortable. 😞 - Hotel's private beach too far to walk & complimentary shuttle only goes at certain times. Last journey back from the beach is at 4pm which is too early. Beach has sand flies.

Beautiful setting with great staff 😀 - The property grounds were beautiful, the pool area was also lovely. The free shuttle bus to the private beach was great, it was so peaceful and had a lovely breeze. The staff were fantastic always. 😞 - The bed was quite hard. The air con could have been better. The location was in between places so needed transport to get there

Good value but could improve many little things 😀 - Rooms were good,clean and well equipped. 😞 - Breakfast buffet is poor. Eggs are either fried or omelette and are delivered in insufficient batches of 6 from the kitchen. Why no egg station to solve this problem and allow guests more variety in their choice of eggs. Coffee was undrinkable. Swimming pool needs to have better filtration and water circulation to ensure it is cool and refreshing and not like soup.
