We stayed in Chaweng Regent Hotel a few years ago. That was our first trip to Thailand and it made us feel like living in a paradise!
Chaweng Regent Resort was a lovely 3star+-hotel and was affordable for us in 1996. Since then, it became a 4star hotel and the prices have gone up tremendously - unfortunately.
Should you intent to stay there, take a "Deluxe" room. These rooms are situated at the second pool area and are nice and quiet (although a little small - but sufficiant!). We really enjoyed to have the pleasure of great garden views and pool views at the same time and only a few steps before we could enter the pool. Made us feel like this was our "private" pool. Moreover, most people swim at the main pool and that makes the second pool area very attractive! And it is large, too. The garden is absolutely beautiful. You feel like beeing in a jungle (with outside "jungle"-showers", something my husband favoured very much ;-) .
Chaweng regent is/was situated at the south (?) far end of Chaweng beach (this might have changed by now as Chaweng surely has become bigger tremendously since then ... ?).
What we though was ideal at the time, was the fact, that going out at the front entrance, we had busy Chaweng with shops and restaurants at our door steps - and going out the beach entrance, there was peace and calmness and it was ever so relaxing to walk on the beach looking for a nice restaurant!
Food (we only had breakfast) was excellent, too. Buffet with anything you can think off.
Live Entertainment in the evenings, either at the beach bar or at the entrance bar. (Try not to get a room near the entrance bar!) Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$40-80 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Chaweng BeachDirections: not far from the airport

We enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Bay Resort very much. We came to stay three nights and didn't leave for a week and then only because it was time to come back to the states. It is in an ideal location for birdwatching. The park being 4-5 km. to the south, the freshwater marsh 15 km.to the north, and the long beach right there.
The owners of this resort are very friendly and helpful.
There is a nice pool and a great swimming beach across the road.
The sunrise is worth getting up early to see, coming up over the mountain.
It is just a few miles to Khoa Sam Roi Yat National Park Leave a Comment

Pai is a quiet town, and we had a cottage right along the river where it was easy to spend lots of time on the private balcony, just soaking up the beauty of the river.
The room itself was all hardwoods and bamboo with a large mosquito net (much needed!) as a canopy. There was always a flower and the stone-lined shower had home made soaps. Friendly, helpful staff.
Lovely experience.

Hua Hins's dozen plus guesthouses are on a street one block from the beach.
We stayed at the one at the end nearest the beach. It was called Seaview Guesthouse. We had a large livingroom, and a large bedroom, bath with shower, and a small balcony.
It was very clean and good service.
Near the beach and shopping.
They arranged a taxi and driver to pick us up at our hotel in Bangkok. Leave a Comment

Transportation was furnished from our Bangkok hotel in an air-conditioned minibus to the edge of Khao Yai National Park. Quiet and comfortable en-suite double rooms, at the Garden Lodge. Varieties of local flora and fauna and a tropical garden, where you can see over 200 different speciies of botanical and some rare hybrid orchids. There are always birds and butterflies flying through the garden.
They have organised tours that take you to different areas of the park everyday. Most last most of the day. The guides are very knowledgable and personable.
The restaurant serves very good meals. Leave a Comment

Plaloma Cliff, right near the beach.
OK.. This place is OK. The bungalows are on the coast but not on the beach. It is a three-minute walk from the beach actually. Why is this? Well, because of tides. There are no hotels right on the beach in Koh Chang because the tides make the beaches "disappear" at night. However, there are hotels closer to the beach, but therefore more expensive.
The rooms are OK. Very basic, but there are bathrooms.
The restaurant is OK too. This place is recommended for backpackers, but it is not a great spot if all you want to do is relax and have some luxury.
They are currently building some beach front bungalows.
From the hotel:
PLALOMA CLIFF RESORT is situated at the southernmost and of Had Sai Khao (White Sand Beach)on the west coast of Koh-Chang. Set in a lush tropical garden that stretches out to the white sandy beach and expanding over a cliff, Plaloma Beach Resort offers a cosy atmosphere and a romantic ocean view.
Plaloma Beach Resort is built to suit the tastes of individuals and families. Most of the resort is
constructed from nature's material which are skillfully blended with the environment of flowers, palms and
plenty of local plants as well as a mini zoo.
The restaurant serves exquisitely fine Thai and European cuisine all-day long while the beachfront bar kiosk is an oasis to quench your thirst after a fun-filled beach play.
Our friendly staff is ready to provide you their personal services and ensure you will enjoy a great holiday
Rates depend on season.

I only bring the hotel infm and made a phone call when we arrived at Phuket airport.Fortunately we got a good offer . We paid about USD20 to the taxi at airport and in 2 hours we arrived here!
This hotel is well maintained , right at seaside.The view is magnificant , sea/pool/garden/mounatin....they have everything I was expecting!
May was low season, I only found 2 .3 people stay in the same resort with us, I got a nice bangalow facing swimming pool and sea.
I like the shower in the room, feel don't want to come out!
It was the best season for fruits, we rent car for 3 days and stopped at many places for beach/seafood /fruits , wonderful time!
