How do I find a place to live in Koh Chang?

We asked expats how they chose their neighborhood and found a place to live. They answered:

"Finding a place to live in Koh Chang involves several steps. First, you need to decide on the type of accommodation you want. This could range from a simple bungalow to a luxury villa or apartment. Next, you should research the different areas of Koh Chang to decide where you want to live. The west coast is the most developed and popular with tourists, while the east coast is quieter and more traditional. Once you have decided on the type of accommodation and area, you can start your search. There are several online platforms where you can find listings for rentals in Koh Chang, such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Agoda. You can also use local real estate agencies, which often have listings that are not available online. These agencies can also provide valuable advice and assistance in negotiating rental agreements. When you find a place you like, make sure to visit it in person before making a commitment. Check the condition of the property, the amenities, and the surrounding area to make sure it meets your needs and expectations. Finally, once you have found your ideal place, you will need to negotiate and sign a rental agreement. Make sure to read the contract carefully and understand all the terms and conditions before signing. Remember, living in Koh Chang can be quite different from visiting as a tourist, so take your time to find the right place that will make your stay enjoyable and comfortable," said one expat in Koh Chang.
