Description:
Set at the farthest edge of the resort's property, Baan Chang offers access to the longest stretch of beachfront. This uniquely designed beach house is constructed almost entirely of native wood, stained to a rich deep brown.

The classic elevated stilt house has taken a creative twist with Baan Chang's design. Eight massive wooden pillars support the structure. Underneath the house is a large deck and living area which extends outward to the beach. This creates an open area for sunbathing while also having a sheltered and shaded half as well. The deck is made from the same matching dark stained wood as the main structure. Beach furniture, tables, chairs, and two integrated benches complete the decor.

The entrance to the upstairs living/sleeping area is inside the covered part of the deck. Again Baan Chang's unique and creative design is reflected in the entrance way to the house. Unlike most beach houses where one enters through the veranda, this house has stairs that lead up and right inside the main room. The result is a home-like feeling of security and privacy. The other advantage is that the veranda is only accessible from inside the house (a true balcony unlike any other home on the island.) From here, the view of the ocean is unobstructed and spectacular.

A single spacious room makes up the living and sleeping quarters. Three large windows on either side keep the house open for cooling sea breezes while rattan blinds offer total privacy. More stained wood makes up the interior walls. Against the back wall are large integrated shelving units and two closets with double doors for all of your island attire. Centered in the room is a king size bed for lounging away the afternoons and for a good night's sleep.

Toward the back is the partially enclosed bathroom with open air shower (walls all around, but open roof). More wood is complemented by aqua-green ceramic tiles for the shower. A western style toilet and vanity unit completes the bathroom.

Recommendations:
An excellent choice for couples who want privacy and comfort. But the house's perfect location right on the beach makes it particularly exposed during the high surf and strong winds of the monsoon season. Aside from this, Baan Chang is a uniquely designed beach home that offers great ocean views and lots of sand, sun, and surf.
