Hi, I’m Marat. I live in Thailand and recently spent some time on Koh Chang. In short — the island is quite affordable, especially in the low season. In this article, I’ll break down the cost of accommodation, bike rentals, food prices, and other daily expenses so you can better plan your trip.

Hotel Prices

Accommodation on Koh Chang is generally affordable. You can find good hotels for $15–30 a night just a few minutes’ walk from the beach. If you want a bungalow right on the shore, prices usually range from $40 to $120 per night.

Here’s a selection of hotels I’ve either stayed at myself or passed by during my trip:

Hotel Prices in Koh Chang

Koh Chang prices depend on the season. In some hotels, rates begin rising as early as September, while others increase their prices in November, when the high season officially starts. The same applies to bike rentals — expect higher rates as tourism picks up.

Motorbike Rental Prices

Mid-size scooters (PCX, NMAX, ADV160)300 THB/day350 THB/day
Koh Chang Motorbike Rental Prices

Deposit: either your passport or 5,000 THB in cash.

I rented a Honda ADV160 from BK Travel and Scooter Rental and was very satisfied — they had a good selection, the bike was in excellent condition, and they returned my deposit without any issues.

📲 If you want to book your bike in advance, send the owner a message on WhatsApp. She mentioned that in high season, bikes get booked out quickly.

Gas Prices

Fuel on the island costs almost the same as on the mainland. Gasohol 95 is around 35 THB per liter.

For scooter and motorbike rentals, that means a full tank will only set you back a few dollars — perfect for exploring the island without breaking the bank.

Food Prices

Café prices on the island are almost the same as on the mainland. Thai dishes typically cost 60–80 THB, while drinks range from 10 to 90 THB.

Dish / DrinkPrice
Pad Thai60 THB
Noodles with meat60 THB
Rice with meat60 THB
Pad Kra Pao60–70 THB
Cola20–25 THB
Water10–15 THB
Beer (bottle)80–90 THB
Koh Chang Food Prices

At local eateries, the food is fresh, filling, and served quickly. I usually ate in these places — it’s cheaper and tastier than in tourist-oriented cafés.

Some good local spots worth trying:

Bar Prices

Koh Chang Bar

If you’re heading out for a night in the bars, here’s what you can expect to pay:

  • Cocktails: 180–220 THB
  • Shots: 60–140 THB
  • Beer: 90–100 THB
  • Cola: 40 THB

The island has two main nightlife areas:

  1. Walking Street — a small strip with a somewhat tired vibe.
  2. White Sand Beach street — my personal favorite: lively music and a great atmosphere.

Beach Prices

Sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach are often free — you just need to order a drink or some food from the beach café. Another option is to pay 100 THB, which usually includes a drink, a lounger, and access to a toilet and shower.

Koh Chang Beach Prices

Food and drinks by the sea are more expensive than in regular cafés, but still reasonable. For 200–250 THB, you can enjoy a tasty meal and relax with an ocean view.

Koh Chang Massage Prices

Massage right on the beach is a great treat:

  • Traditional Thai massage (60 min) — 300 THB
  • Oil massage (60 min) — 350 THB
  • Back, neck & head massage (60 min) — 350 THB

Tour Prices

Koh Chang Tour Prices

The most popular excursions on Koh Chang are sold at Bang Bao Pier. For example, the classic 4 Islands Snorkeling Tour costs 700–750 THB — it’s the program most visitors choose.

The price includes hotel transfer, mask and snorkel rental, lunch, and several stops at beautiful coral reefs.

Or you can explore Koh Chang’s attractions on your own.
