I’ve known Pingpong, the owner since I moved to Koh Chang. Back then he worked as a tour guide and helped out at a small beach restaurant near our guesthouse. He always wanted to have his own guesthouse and , a decade or so later he managed to achieve his dream.
Pingpong’s House is a large guesthouse built on a track that runs inland, adjacent to Kacha Resort, on White Sand beach. His guesthouse is at the end of the track and from the upper floors guests have views of the nothing but jungle. Macaques are common visitors to the garden which is full of varieties of orchids and other tropical plants.
Rooms start at under 1,000 Baht/night and all have air-conditioning, fridge, wifi and cable TV. They’re clean and comfortable and ideal as a base to explore the island. Grab a scooter, pick Mr Pingpong’s brains for places to see and head off to explore.
This type of accommodation obviously isn’t for everyone. But if you like to learn about the place you are visiting and aren’t planning to spend all day lying on a sunbed, then it’s a good choice for budget conscious visitors.
Guests often comment on Pingpong’s generosity and local knowledge. So if you’re looking for a more personal, guesthouse experience, rather than just being another room number at a resort, it’s definitely recommended. Note that the guesthouse is at the end of a track which passes workers’ housing and has a few street dogs around, so whilst it is safe, it’s a bit rough and ready.
Pingpongs House is rated 4.6 out of 5 stars based on 56 written reviews on Booking.com since 1 November 2018

Rooms are impeccably clean and well maintained, one of the best hotels in thailand. AC is quiet, beds are soft, and the rooms are rather spacious. No TV in my room, but I never end up watching it anyways so it was no issue for me. The only downside to this location is that you dont have a view of the ocean.read less - Zachery - 22/02/20

La strada per andare alla struttura è un pò buia (per un piccolo tratto) e ci sono molti cani che abbaiano in continuazione creando magari un pò di timore (anche se nessuno ha mai aggredito); mancherebbe anche una tendina in bagno che separi la zona doccia dal resto del bagno per evitare di allagare tutto il pavimento..read less - Donatella - 19/02/20

Very nice, clean and comfortable room, very nice location - in nature, monkeys, singing birds but only 7 minutes to walk to White sand beach, shops and restaurants. And Pinngpong is the best host in Thailand!!! Very nice and helpful man, every morning he went to buy fresh thai delicacies to taste, he told us a lot of interesting about the nature and historie of Koh Chang. And great snooker player - next time we will retaliate!!!😆😆
We spent there a beautiful week, we recommend 100%.
Thank you, Pingpong for everything😊 read less - Martin - 08/01/20

Location is very silent and peaceful as you’re away from the crowd. The Hotel is a short walk from the main road. Who is afraid of walking or barking dogs should just rent a motorbike.read less - Dominik - 04/01/20
