Shambhala

Top choice in Ko Chang


Perched at the north end of the island, past the flash marina, this poolside bar has a magnificent outlook across green lawn to a secluded golden sweep of beach. It's the perfect spot for a sundowner cocktail; it also turns out quality Thai and international dishes. Enter via the southernmost 'Marina' entrance to the Siam Royal View complex.
