Hey all for my 2nd week in thailand later on this month I'm looking to go to koh chang. Any1 recommend any places to stay and also will be any gay beer bars there thanks

In 2013 I have been there with a friend. Stayed in the Flora I Talay Resort. 

Kho Chang was a quiet place for me. Water and beach are impressive.

But I recommend not to go there alone. Ask some friends to join you. ;-) 

You can have some drinks at the beach there. Some thai boys move from hotel beach to hotel beach to make a show at night.

Book a bungalow in the first row! ;-)

 

About transportation: Arriving with the ferry at Kho Chang the pickup taxis arrange shared tours to the hotels.

My partner and I like Koh Chang and have been a couple of times for a relaxing holiday (we live in Thailand and it's about a 6 hour drive).

 

We were not looking for it but we saw no signs of gay bars or a gay night life and I would suggest if you find a suitable guy your first week you take him with you for your second week.

 

I would also suggest you consider splitting your week between two resorts on the island, Whitesands is probably the busiest resort and we stayed there on our first visit, the second time enjoyed the area near the fishermans village.

 

You didn't indicate your budget for accomodation, on our last trip we stayed 3 nights each at the following:

They are both smaller hotels and a little expensive but we enjoyed our stays:

There is no pool at Chaipura but there is a very nice beach 2 minutes walk away. It is also near the Fishermans Village from where you can get boat trips to more good beaches

At Nest Sense there is a small but attractive pool however the beach is rocky.

In both cases I would advise you to contact them directly to see if you can get a better price than the booking agencies.

 

Finally just to emphasise my opening remarks, unless you are happy with your own company for a week I would say you need to take a companion
