Travel Guide: Live in the Moment B&B, Koh Chang

Introduction

Nestled on the quiet western shore of Koh Chang, Thailand’s second-largest island, Live in the Moment B&B (活在當下住宿加早餐旅館) lives up to its name: it’s a laid-back, welcoming retreat designed to help travelers slow down and soak up Koh Chang’s tropical magic. Tucked just steps from the soft sand of Lonely Beach (羅利海灘), this family-run property balances thoughtful comfort with easy access to the island’s best natural and cultural attractions, making it ideal for solo backpackers, couples, and slow travelers alike.

Hotel Overview

Live in the Moment B&B is located on Soi Tian Chai 2, Lonely Beach, Koh Chang, Trat 23170, with everything you need for a stress-free island stay.

Local Attractions

Three unmissable attractions are within easy reach of the B&B:

• Lonely Beach: Just a two-minute walk from the property, this crescent of soft golden sand is far quieter than Koh Chang’s busier east coast shores. It’s perfect for swimming at high tide, sunset beach walks, and casual beach bar evenings, with soft white sand and calm, warm waters year-round.
• Khlong Phlu Waterfall: A 15-minute drive from the B&B, this tiered tropical waterfall sits within Mu Ko Chang National Park. Hike the easy shaded trail to the upper tiers, where you can swim in cool, clear natural pools surrounded by dense rainforest.
• Bang Bao Fishing Village: A 25-minute drive south, this charming stilted fishing village is lined with colorful wooden seafood shacks, local craft shops, and a pier that serves as the departure point for day trips to Koh Chang’s surrounding outer islands.

Travel Tips

If you’re planning to explore the island, rent a motorbike (the B&B offers free secure parking) to get around easily, or ask the front desk to book affordable public transport tickets for an extra fee. Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure pool-view rooms, and don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen for snorkeling trips arranged by the hotel. For travelers with accessibility needs, the entire property is on ground level with accessible parking, making it one of the most wheelchair-friendly stays on this part of the island.
