Ko Chang Hotels with air conditioning

Ko Chang’s package-tour industry has distorted accommodation pricing. In general rates have risen while quality has not, partly because hotels catering to group tours are guaranteed occupancy and don’t have to maintain standards to woo repeat visitors or walk-ins. There is also a lot of copy-cat pricing giving value-oriented visitors little to choose from.

A few places close down during the wet season (April to October) and rates drop precipitously. Consider booking ahead and shopping for online discounts during peak season (November to March), weekends and holidays.
