I didn't actually stay here but was reccomended to eat here by a friend. I wasn't let down! The food and view were equally amazing and needless to say every time I visit koh Chang I dine at buddha view. Stunning!

A place with a lounge mode around it. Great, but a bit expensive. We got the barracuda and red curry, with was very tasty. The hole restaurant, was made out of teak tree and looked very cool and completed the very nice interior.

I've lived in Thailand for 6 years and The Buddha View is easily the best restaurant I have dined in. It's not really a place you'd stumble on. We only found it after the owner, Jan, saved our lives at sea!!! (but that has no bearing on the review...haha). It's located at the end of the pier in Bang Bao... More

We stayed at Buddha View for one night at the end of our stay in Thailand. It is a picturesque, charming place. The restaurant has a wonderful setting and the rooms are elegant with wood panelling and tiled bathroom. When we reached Bangkok ,I realised that I had left my mobile phone in the room. After an email, the phone... More

The food was very over-priced and we all found our meals tasteless and dull compared to all of the other restaurants we've eaten at on Ko Chang. Most of us didn't eat our meals; fish was very dry, pad thai was completely tasteless and cold, noodles were gloopy and the som tam tasted like it had no chilli in it... More

This Bang Bao hotel is well-appointed, with good beds and elegant facilities. The cocktails are interesting, the food elegant if overpriced. All in all, great value for money if you're looking to relax. The hotel is right down the road from some great dive shops, making it ideal if you want to spend your Ko Chang time underwater. However, make... More

This should be the best stay on Koh Chang..! We stayed here for a week and it felt like we had been there for a month, because we were so relaxed afterwards. During the week we ate at other restaurants on Koh Chang as well, but we preferred Buddha View's restaurant at the end. Unless it's a cosy atmosphere at... More

The rooms and restaurant are located towards the end of the bang bao pier. It has a cool restaurant looking out to sea with sun lounge style seats and low table/cushions along with standard style seating. The low style seats have holes for your legs to dangle down - sounds random but was fun! The food is very good, staff... More

The Buddha View is located in Bang Bao fishing village. The atmosphere was so relaxed I could have stayed there forever! Had to settle for six nights though. There are eight rooms in total, four with bathroom and shower. The rooms are basic but very nice - dark with wooden walls and floors, AC and fan. Breakfast is not included.... More
