Bailan
is a small village in the southwest of Koh Chang between the
party zone of Lonely Beach (1.5 km to the north) and the old
fishermen village Bang Bao (5 km south) with seafood restaurants
and souvenir and handcrafts shops.
Many
residents of Bailan are locals, taking care to develop soft
tourism to protect the nature. You will find no 'Walking Street'
with Ladybars over and over, no disco or beach party, but
you will find a place of friendliness in the middle of an
amazing powerfull nature between the mountains and the sea.
Still
no need to miss party! As the party mile of Lonely Beach is
just 1.5 km away, it is easy to have fun there all night long
and chill out in your quiet bungalow in Bailan, watching the
sunrise over the sea.
