NATCON’Twenty6

NATCON’Twenty6 will start on Thursday 30 April 2026 and end on Sunday 3 May 2026.

In Thailand, Monday 4 May 2026 is (also) a holiday celebrating the Coronation of H.M. Vajiralongkorn or Rama 10, so you can use this day to recover from the four days nude festival!

Location: The Tropical Beach Resort and Chivapuri Beach Resort

Booking is open HERE .

The Tropical Beach Resort and Chivapuri Beach Resort are located on the same private beach next to each other. The shared restaurant is located right in between them which means that one resort is not more “main resort” than the other.

The difference between them is that The Chivapuri Beach Resort has a higher standard compared to the lower-key vibe of the thatched roof bungalows of Tropical Beach Resort. Both are clean and well maintained.

The resorts are on the outskirts of Mu Ko Chang National Park and 2 km from Bang-Bao Pier. The view across the sea is over to the islands to the south of Koh Chang.

The beach is sandy-stony, and water shoes are recommended.

The resorts offer optional Thai massages and water sports, along with motorbike rentals, which NAT will not recommend as accidents are frequent among foreigners. Order a bike with a driver and wear a helmet if you must.

🚌 Public Bus and Van Options

All services below include guaranteed bus or van connections between bus, ferry, and taxi/van transfers to Koh Chang. Prices are per person and current as of booking in April 2026. The table is ordered by departure time so that you can easily see options in chronological order:

🚗 Drive Yourself

Driving to Koh Chang takes 5 to 6 hours from Bangkok via Route 344 (Ban Bueng – Klaeng) or Route 3 (Sukhumvit Road).
Ferries to the island leave from Ao Thammachat Pier every 30 minutes (06:00 – 19:00).
The crossing takes about 30 minutes and costs roughly 120 THB per person + 120 THB per vehicle.

🚤 Private Transfers

NAT can help arrange a door-to-door private van + ferry service from your hotel in Bangkok to your resort on Koh Chang. This is the most comfortable option for families or groups of 3 to to 10 people.
Estimated cost: 6,000 THB per van (one-way). This cost you can divide among the passengers on the van.

🧳 Arrival Support

When you arrive on Koh Chang, NAT staff will meet you at your resort to help with check-in.

If you send a copy of your passport to us, we can help resorts with faster registration but if you prefer not to share your passport with NAT that is perfectly alright – then you simply join the special queue for you and likeminded members upon arrival.
