Sunrise Beach Resort

Sunrise Beach Resort captures that perfect island resort vibe on Koh Chang without the crowds of Thailand’s more famous destinations. The property sits right on the beach with that laid-back, personal feel you get when a place isn’t massive. You’re staying somewhere that feels more like a well-run boutique operation than a cookie-cutter resort chain.

The real draw here is the variety of beachfront accommodations — from standard sea view bungalows to proper beach front bungalows where you can practically roll out of bed onto the sand. The Superior Suites and Villa options give you more space if you’re planning a longer stay, while the Family bungalows work well for those traveling with kids. That hot tub is a nice touch you don’t always find at this price point, and the property’s location scored 8.9/10 with recent guests, which tells you the beach access and setting really deliver.

Insider Tip: Check-in runs until 8 PM, but arriving earlier in the afternoon gives you time to settle in and catch the sunset from your bungalow — the sea view rooms face west for prime viewing.

This works best for couples and small families who want that classic Thai island experience without breaking the bank. The 9.5/10 Booking.com rating backed by exceptional scores for staff (9.7/10) and comfort (9.7/10) suggests guests consistently have a great time here. The $55/night starting rate positions this as solid mid-range value, though you’ll pay more for the prime beachfront bungalows. The tradeoff is you’re on a quieter part of the island, so nightlife options are limited compared to busier beach areas.

At $55/night starting, you’re getting good value for beachfront accommodation on Koh Chang. The resort puts you within reach of local communities like Ban Nam Chiao Community and Ban Salak Khok Community for cultural experiences beyond the beach. Free parking makes it easy to explore the island’s other beaches and attractions during your stay.
