The latest addition to Royal Princess Hotels & Resorts, named Princess Resort, Koh Chang, has completed nearly 70 percent of construction to date. The new resort will be the first of its kind for Royal Princess, occupying 150 meters frontage on the beachfront of Ao Bai Lan, with a total of 96 rooms and suites.
Duncan Jamieson, VP-Development for both Dusit and Royal Princess Hotels & Resorts, said, “This is Royal Princess Hotels & Resorts' first resort property, since all our existing hotels have city locations. Koh Chang is the ideal site being the second largest island of Thailand from Phuket, and there are only a few 5-star resorts on the island. Princess Resort, Koh Chang is especially an exciting project for us, and will enable us to show to great advantage what we are able to do in building up a resort."
Princess Resort, Koh Chang is expected to become a major attraction due to the development of Trat Airport , government initiatives to promote Koh Chang as a major tourist destination, existing ferry from island-to-island taking just 20 minutes each way, increasing flight frequencies from Bangkok Airways, and so on.
Among the major tourist attractions are Koh Chang National Marine Park occupying 80% of the island, teeming with fascinating wildlife and marine life, not to mention diving and numerous water sport options.
