Travel Guide: OYO 693 Tree House Cottage, Ko Chang

Introduction

Tucked along the quiet, palm-fringed shore of Khlong Khlon Beach (Kong Khlon Beach) on Thailand’s beloved Ko Chang, OYO 693 Tree House Cottage delivers laid-back tropical escape that feels worlds away from the island’s busier tourist hubs. Ideal for budget-conscious travelers, backpackers, and anyone craving slow, sun-drenched days by the sea, this cozy property balances affordability with the quiet comfort you need after a day of exploring the island’s jungles and beaches.

Hotel Overview

Located at 96/3 Moo 1, Ko Chang, Trat, 23170, the cottage sits just steps from the soft golden sand of Khlong Khlon Beach, one of Ko Chang’s most underrated stretches of coast. The property keeps things simple and guest-focused, with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. All rooms come with air conditioning, non-smoking options, flat-screen TVs, and complimentary WiFi available across the entire property, so you can share your sunset photos without interruption. Daily housekeeping keeps spaces tidy, and 24/7 room service is on hand if you want to enjoy a meal or cold drink from the comfort of your porch.

On-site, you’ll find a casual restaurant serving hearty Thai and international dishes, plus a breezy bar where you can sip ice-cold Singha beer or fresh mango smoothies as the day cools. The property wraps around a lush tropical garden, where you can lounge in the shade and listen to the call of native forest birds. Security features including external and public area CCTV and fire extinguishers give guests peace of mind, and staff speak both English and Thai, making check-in and requests seamless. Note that there is no on-site parking, so those renting scooters can park at public lots a short walk from the property for a small daily fee.

Attractions

OYO 693 Tree House Cottage’s central location on the west coast puts three of Ko Chang’s best attractions within easy reach:

• Khlong Khlon Beach: Right on your doorstep, this quiet 2-kilometer stretch of sand is far less crowded than popular White Sand Beach, with gentle shallow waters perfect for swimming and long sunset walks. Local fishing boats bob offshore, and small beach shacks serve fresh grilled seafood for just a few dollars.
• Khlong Phlu Waterfall: A 15-minute drive from the cottage, this scenic three-tiered waterfall sits inside Ko Chang National Park. A short, easy jungle hike leads to cool, clear swimming holes, where you can cool off after a morning of exploring surrounded by lush tropical forest.
• Lonely Beach (Hat Sai Khao): Just 20 minutes south by scooter, this bohemian beach hub is famous for its laid-back beach bars, fire dancing shows at night, and excellent street food. It’s perfect for an evening out, while still being far enough to avoid the noise when you return to your cottage.

Travel Tips

Most travelers get to Ko Chang via a 45-minute ferry from the Trat mainland; songthaew (shared pick-up trucks) run directly to Khlong Khlon Beach for around 200 THB per person, dropping you within a 5-minute walk of the cottage. Renting a scooter for 150–200 THB per day is the easiest way to explore the island, just be sure to wear a helmet and drive carefully, as many roads are steep and winding. Visit between November and February for dry, sunny weather and cool sea breezes; the wet season (May–October) brings lower prices and fewer crowds, though afternoon rain showers are common. Finally
