BEACH
Ao Daddaeng is a small, intimate bay on Ko Chang, just south of Ao Yai, the island’s main beach. Surrounded by lush greenery, it has a wonderfully peaceful and secluded atmosphere and is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.
What makes Ao Daddaeng particularly special is its fine sand, which has a bizarre and mysterious grey-black color. Combined with the green hills and calm sea, it gives the beach a very distinctive character. The water is generally calm and pleasant for swimming, and in the late afternoon the bay is a beautiful place to watch the sunset.
WHERE TO STAY
There are three budget stays at Ao Daddaeng. Our favorite is Mama’s Bungalows, with its characteristic wooden bungalows built on the hillside close to the beach. The friendly owners really made us feel at home here. Our personal favorites are the bungalows right on the beach, built on concrete stilts and overlooking the sea.
Suanpor Bungalows and Lae Tawan Bungalows are two alternatives, offering simple and more basic stays. All three stays have their own restaurant.and Lae Tawan Bungalows are the alternative, more basic places to stay. All stays have a restaurant.
