Baan Chang Thailand

Perched cozily in the jade-watered paradise of Krabi in Thailand, Baan Chang is a glamorous three bedroom holiday villa for six.
Blessed with easy access to a 700m private beach, it’s a dream destination for water sports lovers and sunset chasers. Enjoy a gamut of activities like island hopping tours, sea cave canoeing, jet skiing and ATV rides.
This eco-friendly resort feels like your own little hideout in paradise, committed to high sustainability and minimal waste production. Its many facilities include a large swimming pool, paddle board and motorbike rental, tours and travel services and a boutique resort store.
Get your heart pumping in the state-of-the-art fitness room, followed by a rejuvenating massage in the spa center. Spend peaceful hours in the charming library and savour the evening sun in the organic garden.
Inspired by traditional Thai architecture, the villa is built with mostly natural materials like wood and stone. Offering sweeping views of the Andaman Sea and Koh Pu island, it features a private manicured garden and rustling forests nearby. The well-planned design allows plenty of natural ventilation throughout the property.
The large outdoor deck gives off a leafy, tropical feel, with direct access to the luxurious swimming pool. You can spend lazy afternoons on the lounge chairs and socialise with friends.
The living area is bright and roomy, combining the feel of a summer beach house and a boho-chic Thai shack. Glossy floorings, elegant wooden beams and traditional artworks exude a sense of tranquility. Comfy jute couches are surrounded by large folding teak doors and windows. These offer nearly 180 degree views of the outdoor garden and the sea.
The kitchen is spacious and open-plan, with shiny countertops and wooden cabinetry. It includes a minibar and tea and coffee making facilities. A 4-seater dining table is perfect for intimate family meals.
The villa has three bedrooms, but can be converted into a two bedroom one if desired. This unique feature makes it an ideal holiday home for two couples, offering plenty of both private and communal spaces. The master bedroom almost feels like a home unto itself, with a large en-suite bathroom and outdoor Balinese double shower. Each of the three bedrooms features king size beds, all with lush views.
Spend days luxuriating in the bubbling jacuzzi or explore attractions nearby. Head to Krabi Elephant Sanctuary, where you can feed and swim with elephants for a truly once-in-lifetime experience. The Aao Nam Mao Outdoor Aquarium boasts marvelous exhibits of rare fish, turtles and sharks. Nestled in the dreamy province of Krabi, famous for its rugged limestone cliffs, mangrove jungles and a constellation of over 100 islands, the resort is blessed with a prized location. The most convenient point of arrival is Krabi International Airport. From there, an official of the resort will escort you to the resort in a private long-tail boat (35 mins) or private speed boat (20 mins). The resort also organizes pickups from Phuket Airport, Ao Nang Beach and the neighboring islands of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta.
Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach is famous for its soft white sand, azure waters and sublime limestone structures. It is a haven for rock-climbers with over 700 climbing locations and the annual Krabi Rock and Fire International Contest. Explore the Phranang Beach cave which contains a sacred image of Buddha. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head to Koh Lanta Yai street market for mouthwatering skewers, barbeques, sushi rolls and cotton candies – all at a bargain price.
Enroll for an island boat tour from Krabi Town or Ao Nang. Explore awe-inspiring caves, mangrove bushes and ancient island paintings with an expert local guide. Nature lovers should go on a hike to Thung Teao Forest Nature Park. Home of the Crystal Lagoon, also known as Emerald Pool, this warm water lake is perfect for swimming against a backdrop of cascading waterfalls. Be on the lookout for the highly endangered, vividly colored Pitta Gurney bird.
A challenging, but ultimately rewarding climb of 1,237 steps will take you to the ‘Footprints of Buddha’ in the Tiger Cave Temple. The name is derived from a legend which suggests that a ferocious tiger used to live in one of the many natural caves surrounding the temple. Get a glimpse into the lives of monks who used to meditate inside these caves. You will see rustic stone tools, pottery relics and mind-boggling pictures of dead bodies, which symbolize the Buddhist philosophy that all physical forms are transitory.
Situated 43 kms west of Krabi, Koh Phi Phi is a constellation of 6 beautiful islands. Discover rock paintings of Viking ships in Koh Phi Phi Leh. Go snorkeling in Bamboo Island and behold dazzling coral reefs. If you have the stomach for it, dive into the waters of Koh Phi Phi Don with a qualified guide and witness fascinating black-tip and leopard sharks.
