The Complete Guide to Bunya Resort Koh Chang, Thailand

Introduction

Nestled along the golden sands of Klong Prao Beach on Thailand’s beloved Koh Chang, Bunya Resort Koh Chang strikes the perfect balance between laid-back tropical escape and thoughtful, traveler-focused comfort. Far from the overcrowded party hubs of the island’s southern coast, this family-friendly resort lets you wake to the sound of palm fronds rustling and waves lapping the shore, while still keeping all of Koh Chang’s top adventures within easy reach. Whether you’re traveling with kids, planning a romantic getaway, or seeking a quiet solo retreat, Bunya Resort caters to every type of traveler.

Hotel Overview

Set at 31/26 Moo 4, Klong Prao, Koh Chang 23170, Bunya Resort boasts a wide range of amenities designed to make your stay seamless. The resort’s centerpiece is a year-round outdoor swimming pool with pool-view rooms, sun loungers, umbrellas, and a separate children’s pool for little ones, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and a sun-drenched terrace for relaxing. All guest rooms are air-conditioned, non-smoking, and equipped with flat-screen satellite TVs, refrigerators, bedside outlets, and free toiletries in private shower bathrooms. Free WiFi is available across the entire property, and complimentary parking (including accessible spots) is offered with valet service.

On-site amenities include an in-house restaurant and coffee shop serving fresh local fruit and paid kids’ meals, 24/7 room service, daily housekeeping, paid massage services, and a tour desk to book island activities. The resort offers paid cooking classes, and can arrange paid off-site adventures including snorkeling, diving, hiking, kayaking, and fishing. Multilingual staff speak German, English, and Thai, and family-friendly perks include children’s safety gates, an indoor play area, board games, and spacious family rooms.

Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions sit just a short drive from the resort. First, Klong Plu Waterfall, a 15-minute drive inland, is a gentle jungle waterfall with a cool natural swimming hole perfect for a refreshing dip after a short easy hike. Second, Lonely Beach, 25 minutes south, offers a bohemian vibe with softer sands, laid-back beach bars, and great sunset views. Third, Mu Ko Chang National Park, which covers 70 percent of the island, includes untouched rainforest trails, hidden coves, and wildlife spotting opportunities for macaques and tropical birds.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February) when rooms fill up quickly. The resort offers paid airport transfers from Trat Airport, which is far easier than navigating local transport with luggage. Pack reef-safe sunscreen for your off-site snorkeling and diving trips to protect Koh Chang’s fragile coral reefs. Most activities arranged through the resort’s tour desk include round-trip transport, so you won’t need to rent a scooter unless you want to explore independently. For an extra special treat, book a pool-view room to wake up to tropical greenery and glistening blue water every morning.
