Carpe Diem Guest House is a 3-star guest house in Ko Chang Tai, Thailand. Located about 5.2mi from the city center, it sits at Soi tian chai 2 and promises a laid-back island vibe with easy access to the coast.
Guest amenities blend comfort and fun: a private pool and an outdoor swimming pool (free), beach access, and a restaurant on site, plus complimentary WiFi and free private parking. Water sports facilities on site (free), a tour desk, room service, air conditioning, bar, sun deck, terrace, and private entrance round out the experience, with non-smoking rooms and wheelchair accessibility for convenience.
Reviews tally to 89, reflecting guest interest in a garden-view setting complemented by features such as private parking (free), garden, beach chairs/loungers, and a range of other on-site options, including pet-friendly (extra charges) and Kids’ meals (extra charges).
Ko Chang Tai’s laid-back island vibe meets practical comfort with easy coast access. Two pools invite different moods—a private pool and an outdoor pool, both free for guests—and watersports facilities on site add a splash of adventure. Beach access puts the shoreline within reach, and a tour desk helps plan day trips to discover the island’s hidden corners.
Dining happens at Restaurant #1, a family-friendly, traditional spot serving American, Thai, Local, and Asian cuisines. After sunset, a bar, sun deck, and terrace offer spaces to unwind, while a private entrance adds a touch of privacy to arrivals and departures. Non-smoking rooms and air conditioning keep things comfortable, and room service helps with little luxuries without leaving the property.
Cash is the only payment method accepted. Pets are allowed on request, with charges may apply. Room options include a Room With Pool View (Double) accommodating up to 4 adults and 3 children with a king-size bed, and a Room With Garden View (Double) with the same setup. These choices provide flexible layouts for families or groups seeking a sun-filled island escape.

as a solo traveler I am so glad I picked this guesthouse, the owners Peter and Aemsire where so welcoming, they have a great bar and social area and a lush dog called Mee. Any information I need Peter was at hand, had some great chats with him and he has a great sense of humor. one night I was invited to join in with their evening meal which was a BBQ, very fresh and tasty. comfortable bed, hot water what ever time of the day, nice pool area, great location to the clubs and bars.
nothing, perfect place in the party location

Peter and his wife are so welcoming and flexible. Had lovely interactions sharing few beers in the evening. Felt really welcomed and comfortable as a solo traveller. Very close to lonely beach, which is an amazing beach... Clean swimming pool. Rooms are OK for the price and clean. Thanks Peter, for your kindness, I found it hard to leave :)
The area is the party one. If you are looking for tranquility and peaceful nights, it might not be the place to be as bars have music very loud all night. Guesthouse however provides earplugs if you re not a party animal

The host was lovely, he hadn't seen me one of the days and knocked to make sure I was okay. I'm sure if I needed anything he would have been happy to help :). The bed was comfy, shower was great, nice little patio area to read. Bathroom and bedroom are both big, with plenty of storage. No problems with mosquitos. Lots of choices for restaurants within 15 mins and little corner shops selling snacks, drinks etc
The surrounding area isn't the nicest, one path over is where the party area is and it's got a lot of broken, abandoned buildings and rubbish everywhere. Still felt safe and everything but worth mentioning. The closest access to water is rocky and quite choppy, but 15 mins walk down the main road and you get to a sandy beach. There is loud music until at least 4am but it's a background base noise rather than being able to hear every word to the songs, earplugs do a good job.

Had a brilliant stay here. Pete and his good lady are kind, considerate and go out of their way to make sure you are catered for. A personal touch goes a long way. Rooms are clean and well ventilated, pool is clean and cold. Fridges are always stocked and everything behind the bar is well priced. Finished my trip on koh chang here and it was awesome. Would stay again happily
No negative feedback, just an observation, some people clearly aren’t ready to “travel” complaining about wildlife like the little chit chats , frogs ect. It’s a jungle island , of course it has wildlife. This is not a negative connotation on the location you choose to stay at 🤷🏼♂️. The patience the owners show with some “traveler’s” is inspiring. All the best guys 🇹🇭

the owners, Aemsera and Peter, and their crazy dog, Mr Mee, make your visit here. You quickly became a part of their village, with their help and Mr Mee deciding he will accompany you on your walk or meal. fabulous pool, and lots of great restaurants.
Not a big thing, one soi over is the nightclub hub on the island, but it doesn’t keep you awake.

Stayed here for a week. The hosts were very accomodating. The location in lonely beach was good, it’s a small area so you can walk anywhere within 5 mins. Bars,restaurants, beach, gym etc. It’s within striking distance of all the party places. The party is pumping music wise not so much people wise right now as tourism has kicked back in yet but there a good vibe around anyway.
Loud music on the weekends, that’s what you get in a party area but earplugs are provided to combat that. I was part of the party all but one night so affected me little.

It was exactly what i was looking for to go out to party. :) This you must be aware of: its directly beside THE party locations at Lonely Beach...so its close to your party, therefore loud... ;) Peter and Aemsire were very kind, so i can fully recommend it also from this point of view. The room was perfectly clean...so go ahead and book... ;)

Breakfast was good , hosts are fantastic and Peter speaks English so helps when you ask questions. Great place to stay. Also nice to have a community fridge and kettle , a lot of places in that price range don’t have that
