Our latest breakaway quiz for TTR Weekly readers gives you the opportunity to win a two-night stay at Dewa Koh Chang.

Getaway from the heat and enjoy a perfect sea breeze on Chang island, a 40-minute flight from Suvarnabhumi International Airport to Trat province’s airport, located on the mainland coast, near the island’s ferry terminal.

If you prefer to drive, the 310-km trip will take just over four hours from Bangkok to the car ferry port where ferries ply the straits during daylight hours.

This mountainous island, located at the southern end of the eastern seaboard, on the Gulf of Thailand, is named after the elephant shaped mountain profile. It is famous for its rainforest, waterfalls, marine life and coral reefs.

Built from natural materials, Dewa Koh Chang, is located on Klong Prao beachfront, 14 km from the island ferry pier.

The resort presents an image of modern rustic architecture, from its thatched roofs down to a naked cement facade. It features tastefully decorated interiors in warm earth tones.

Here, guests can choose from 40 deluxe rooms and 19 private beach villas that have private terraces or balconies and access to a 700 sq m black-tiled swimming pool.

Apart from comfortable accommodation, the resort offers excellent dining at three locations — The Restaurant, The Caf?, and The Beach that features a pool bar. Nearby, The Spa offers a comprehensive menu of treatments and massage options. There are also sports and recreational facilities such as a speed boat service, kayaking and canoes, snorkelling, diving, fishing, beach games, motorbike rental, tour desk, gallery, library, airport transfers, and a even shuttle bus to take guests to White Sand beach.

A special Koh Chang Bliss package is valid until 31 October at Bt5,700 net per person, inclusive of a three-day/two-night stay in a deluxe room, breakfast, seafood dinner, 60-minute spa treatment, or full-day island hopping and snorkelling trip, welcome drinks, free pick-up to Klong Plu water fall, and free wireless internet.
