Well, so I got to Koh Chang. In the resort, which fell choice, I stopped by a few years ago. At that moment I watched different options and generally looking for a different type of accommodation, so here lingered his gaze, but not his body. But then still in the head was postponed, that it would be necessary to call in on occasion, and for a couple of days.
Well, now, after years, I still found myself in Siam Bay Resort and it turned out to be very unusual to return to the place where it was already sometime Return, but a completely different person, with changed thoughts and circumstances in life.
This part of Koh Chang is quiet, if you can say, “backstage place “where almost no one, all roads pass by, and to to get to the resort you need to climb up the grave hill and then go down it on the other side. There on the side facing the sea, built only two hotels.

Siam Bay Resort
Price and reservation
Цена в Siam Bay Resort 
зависит от типа жилья (их тут всего 5 типов) иof the season.
In the peak season (this is December-January) the price is always higher. In low season price starts at a price of 1,400 baht for simpler houses, which although they are on the first line, but they belong to the stony part the beach. And the most expensive ones are rented for 2,900 baht, and this is already solid, good homes with access to the sandy beach and with his private mini pool.
I chose the middle option – Sea View Villa, a house on a hillside with sea view. In the high season, prices rise one and a half times and the easiest house is already asking about 1800-2000 baht, and the price villas with private pool jumps up to 4,200 baht per day.

Be sure (and I insist) check for discounts or special offers on the excellent Roomguru service. He is fast and easy will show you discounts in all existing reservation systems. AT the same Asia, for example, there are lots of offers on Agoda.com, which much more interesting than on exactly the same hotels in Booking.com.
For example, here is a direct link to the hotel: Siam Bay Resort 
. Or here’s another link to the second, neighboring hotel – Sea View Resort and Spa , там все примерно также, а может и лучше, неI know, did not go.
If you book online in advance, there are discounts, and also, in principle, often in this case is cheaper than you will say at the reception desk. I booked my accommodation for 1500 baht in advance, but on the spot I was offered it already for 2500 baht. In low Season my house is cheaper. Deposit for key 500 baht.
Interior
Unfortunately, on my arrival, the weather on Koh Chang was overcast and so the photos are not as bright and beautiful as they could work out so try adding sun to my pictures of your imagination.
My villa is one big room where it stands a hefty airfield bed, about 2.5 meters wide, with two matted mattresses under one sheet.
If you stand facing the sea, then I have a wall and a half ahead glass, with a panoramic view of the inside of the resort and the sea, and behind is a corridor with three small rooms: a shower, toilet and sink around the corner. Yes, the sink is in the corridor, around the corner. The original decision.
View of the main and only room from the terrace
One base, two mattresses. Pure thai
One and a half walls – glass.
Shower with water heater
The windows are thick, sun-blinds that do not shine through, but provide privacy and sound sleep in the morning. Piece of furniture in the room is made purely Thai, from concrete, into which wooden interior parts are installed. There is a small safe, shower with water heater, air conditioning.
From home appliances in the bungalow there is a TV, a small refrigerator for drinks in which there are two bottles of drinking water – a compliment from the hotel, kettle and hairdryer. The room looks, frankly, a bit tired of life and people.
On the terrace there is a reliable such kondovaya furniture and, to which I drew attention, the whole terrace is some kind of multi-level. Lot stairs, sometimes there is no railing where they are supposed to be – in general, if you come here with children, then with those who are older. At the same time and the carriage will not need to be dragged along the stairs. Although, if in the very bottom live, do not have much. Another of the minuses should be noted – weak lighting in the evening inside the bungalow. Saved on light bulbs. But Wi-Fi is caught even from the most extreme bungalow, and The whole hotel has access points. He checked himself – it is caught perfectly and in my room, and in the lobby at the reception – the quality of the channel can be look at the screenshot.
Exterior and Facilities
Reception Siam Bay Resort is open from 7 am to 10 pm. Territory The resort is very pleasant, the atmosphere is peaceful, the tracks paved with stones, two pools, one – near the restaurant, with black wooden floor around (imagine what it is like to walk on it barefoot at noon on a hot day). And the second is surrounded by a bungalow and one side out on the sea – it turns out you know this cool “effect infinite pool “. It still has a paddling pool for children and underwater sofa for aesthetes who love to sit in the water with a glass of something refreshing. All bungalows overlook windows. the sea, but because of the trees the view is not the most perfect.
Siam Bay Resort
And do not hesitate to repeat – a quiet, peaceful place. Now, when I write this post, I sit in a bungalow looking at the sea, I hear it the sea, as it turns down there, roars. In general, Siam Bay Resort – a good place to relax between the sea and the jungle, to relax soul. It is categorically suited to those who crave peace. recreation.
All resort buildings are somewhat authentic. Obviously, all these houses were built before the Thai hoteliers went general fashion for perfectly smooth forms and surfaces made of concrete, glass and thermo-tiles.
In Siam Bay Resort, bungalows also have concrete parts, but with characteristic wooden roofs, often used inserts from straw and bamboo. On the shore there are the main attributes of carelessness – swing on the palm trees.
The sea itself is relatively cupable and only at high tide, depth will be around the shoulders. And at low tide to swim unrealistic, it is necessary walk hundreds of meters away. But you can say that your own the beach, since there is no one else here except the hotel guests. If anything, there are no hotels with their own in Koh Chang by the beach.
We can say that this hotel in Koh Chang with its own by the beach
The appearance of the resort indicates that repairs have been made. some years ago. All these ladders to the bungalow from the sea, and their shabby wooden railing — But in general, it all fits Thai realities and Ko Chang. Siam Bay Resort and does not position itself as a five-star luxury, it should not be considered as something uncommon.
I think that for such money – the price is quite adequate. I’d it is completely stopped, it is possible that I will come here yet time.
The cost of housing includes breakfast. Pretty good, by Thai standards. It includes several hot dishes: Tom Ka with chicken, sweet and sor litter with chicken, wide noodles with something that usually no one eats sausages, ham for toast, traditionally – corn flakes and muesli with milk, pancakes with honey, toast with butter, omelette, fruit, a set of chopped vegetables from which you can stir up the salad.
Coffee, tea, some kind of chemo juice – it is quite possible normally to eat And it is convenient because in the morning to eat outside limits of the hotel, you have to cut somewhere far enough (on Cai Bay), because there is nothing near.
Breakfast sets
My humble tropical breakfast.
Hotel on the map and location
From Siam Bay Resort, not far from Cai Bay beach, where there is everything you need, including minimarkets, bike rentals, cafes and other amenities with ATMs. You can reach in two ways: either by a steep road through the hills; either by walking along the beach. Self is the last true when you are already settled and you do not have suitcase.
The twenty-minute promenade along the sea, IMHO, will be more interesting and physically much easier to overcome mountain passes. But at availability of a rented vehicle, the whole Chang Island.
P.S. By the way, this is not my first resort in Koh Chang, I am still in two already visited, but this one is still the most remembered by the aggregate factors.
