Dining in Koh Chang
You've never starved for eating choices on any of these islands. Almost every
single resort has a restaurant attached to it, and the mixed menus of Thai and
Western cuisine are usually pretty similar. In fact, these resorts usually make
more money off the restaurants than the rooms. So expect to pay more than you
 would on
the mainland, but all in all, the prices are on a par with other islands like
Ko Samui and Ko Samet. For a change of diet; try the Invito Italian Restaurant
on Hat Sai Khao, which has a wood-fired oven for making pizza. They also do deliveries
within the area. For delectable Indian dishes, try the first such restaurant on
the island, Spices of India, also on Hat Sai Khao. Another classy choice is the
Salakphet Seafood and Resort, which overlooks the bay of the same name. Finally,
if you'd like some hands-on practice at cooking up Thai staples and delicacies,
book a class at the cooking school in the Blue Lagoon Khlong Phrao.
The island's nightlife is nowhere near as pulsating as it is on Koh Chang's more
developed cousins like Ko Samui and Phuket, but it has picked up in recent years,
mostly around the more popular beach areas, while younger travellers prefer the
revelry down on Lonely Beach, or Hat Tha Nam. For live music, head over to Oodie's
Place on Hat Sai Khao. Koh Chang also has a lot of superb seafood restaurants and
a wide variety of eateries specialising in Western and Thai dishes, too.
