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.
Great value for money 😀 - Great value for money and Pong was always there to help or offer us snacks! The location is just a few minute walk up a steep hill away from White Sand Beach (we used a scooter ) Room was very big and clean. 😞 - Our room smelled strongly like smoke which was off putting but we survived

😀 - Nothing 😞 - Had the worst experience of my travels at this property. I went to check in just after 1pm. The room wasn't cleaned, and the bed wasn't made yet. I was quite chilled about it, talked to the owner, and explained that I would go to the beach and come back before 4pm because I had online classes starting at 4. When I returned just after 3:30, I found the owner sitting at the table outside my room, rolling himself a joint. The room was still not cleaned. He was saying he would just need 30 minutes to clean it and asked to work in the garden. The whole property looked like it wasn't taken care of properly. I was crossed with the owner still not cleaning the room until 4pm. I walked out of the property and found myself another place to stay

😀 - The owner was very kind and helpful, he offered us some local specialties. The room was very nice, spacious and welcoming. We were immersed in nature and a few steps from the sea. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have an authentic experience. Every morning some friendly monkeys said good morning to us, they are friends of Ping Pong, the owner, and they come to eat there several times a day... Thank you Ping Pong, hope to see you again.
