Chaipura Resort

Chaipura Resort sits right on Klong Koi Beach on Koh Chang’s quieter eastern shore, giving you that laid-back island vibe without the crowds of White Sand Beach. This 3-star property puts you directly on a less developed stretch of coastline where you can actually hear the waves instead of scooter engines. The eastern location means gorgeous sunrise views and easy access to the island’s more authentic, local side.

What makes Chaipura stand out is the kitchen facilities in rooms – rare to find at this price point on Koh Chang. You’re not stuck eating resort food or trekking to restaurants for every meal, which is huge for longer stays or families. The beachfront location on Klong Koi Beach means you step out of your room onto sand, not a busy road like many island properties. The resort keeps things simple but functional, focusing on the essentials rather than flashy extras that bump up prices.

Insider Tip: Stock up on groceries at the Tesco Lotus in Klong Prao before heading to your resort. The kitchen facilities are perfect for breakfast and snacks, but the nearest major shops are a decent scooter ride away.

This works well for independent travelers and couples who want good value beachfront access without resort crowds. The 8.9/10 rating from 218 Agoda reviews shows guests appreciate the straightforward approach and waterfront location. At 3 stars, expect clean and comfortable rather than luxurious – think functional bathrooms and simple furnishings. The eastern coast location means you’ll need transport to reach the main dining and nightlife areas around White Sand Beach, about 20 minutes by scooter.

At $47 per night, Chaipura offers solid value for direct beach access on Koh Chang. The eastern location keeps you close to attractions like the Klong Plu Waterfall and makes island-hopping trips to nearby islands more accessible. You’ll want to rent a scooter or arrange transport to explore the island’s western beaches and main town areas.
