Koh Kradan has no village, so where you stay is your whole world: a few resorts along the east beach, from simple jungle bungalows to beachfront villas. Staying on the island is the only way to enjoy it at its best — before the day boats arrive and after they leave.
Choice is limited and rooms sell out in peak season, so this page also covers the best alternatives: Koh Muk, with a village and cheaper options across the channel; Koh Ngai, a little more polished; and Trang or the coast at Pak Meng for a night before an early boat.

What a night costs
Indicative high-season price bands for a double room (check live rates — low-season prices are much lower, if the resort is open):
| Type | Typical range | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | roughly ฿800–2,000 | Fan bungalows, often set back from the beach; on Kradan, limited power hours are common |
| Mid-range | roughly ฿2,000–5,000 | Air-conditioned bungalows or rooms, a restaurant, often near or on the beach |
| Upscale | roughly ฿5,000+ | Beachfront villas, pools and the best service on the islands |
Ranges are indicative only and vary by date and room; Booking.com shows the live price for your dates.
When to book
- December to February: book weeks or months ahead — Kradan has few rooms and they fill first.
- November, March and April: easier, but book a few weeks ahead for the best resorts.
- May to October: check that the resort is open; many close or reduce services for the monsoon.
- Flexible plans: choose free-cancellation rates where available, so you can move if the sea is too rough.
