Luxury Balinese-style bungalows hidden away on a rocky, jungle-filled peninsula make this a secluded spot in Ko Chang's deep south. Spacious rooms feature charming wooden furniture, beautiful fabrics and stone bathrooms. This is pleasantly removed from the busier parts of the island, but Bang Bao is handily close if civilisation is required.
