The interior of elephant island Koh Chang (because the island is likewise known as) is included with jungle at the identical time as you have lovely white sandy beaches alongside the coast. You can besides a doubt do something here. From jungle journeys inland to scuba diving or snorkeling and from beach activities to shelling on your hammock. What many humans don’t be aware of is that Koh Chang is Thailand’s third biggest island after Phuket. Unlike his larger sister, you won’t discover any villages or traveller services in the densely forested indoors, but some rivers, waterfalls and trekking trails
A few of the waters across the island are additionally blanketed because us of a large park covers greater than 40 extraordinary islands inner the Koh Chang archipelago.
Many travellers only come here for the beaches, but there is much more to do after lying on the beach with a cocktail, although that sounds very attractive. I have made an overview of 3 nice things you can do on this island.
#1 Klong Plu Waterfall
If you are a huge fan of herbal attractions, then the Klong Plu Waterfall is genuinely well worth a visit. The Klong Plu Waterfall is the most necessary waterfall on the island and is effortlessly accessible. There are paths and stairs from the entrance to the waterfall. On the way, there are some eat and drink occasions.
It is solely a 15-minute stroll to the waterfall and you stroll alongside and via lovely forests.
#2 Sunset
On an island, you are in the ideal area for stunning nighttime of sundown spotting. With a beer in your hand, in your hammock and ideally with a few palm bushes in sight, Koh Chang ensures impressive sunsets. The sky turns a stunning orange. The west coast of the island is the location to be for the sunset.
The fantastic locations to see the solar go down are White Sand Beach, Koh Chang’s longest beach, Kai Bae Beach
#3 Bang Bao Pier
A tourist pier from where you can make nice boat trips. You will also find a number of fine (fish) restaurants on the water, such as the Buddha View Restaurant.
#4 The beaches
Of course, the beaches of Koh Chang are the main attraction. From the beautiful elongated bays to hidden, untouched gems.
1. White Sand Beach
The most popular and, according to many, the most beautiful beach. They call this beach Hat Sai Khao and it attracts most tourists. Here you will also find most accommodation in the form of hotels or resorts. It also has a vibrant backpacker area at the northern
2. Lonely Beach
Lonely Beach, known for its nightlife and therefore popular with backpackers. This is the backpacker beach under the Koh Chang beaches. It has a small but very pleasant beach and accommodation is mainly aimed at budget travellers with bungalows and hostels, although it also has a few luxury resorts
3. Klong Prao Beach
Klong Prao Beach, the largest beach in Koh Chang has a beautiful long white sand beach, split by two inland waters. It has the most high-end resorts of all beaches.
4. Bailan Beach
Bailan Beach is the quiet ‘neighbouring’ beach of Lonely Beach with local, low key development. Accommodation ranges from midrange to decent small bungalow resorts and backpacker hang-outs.
5. Kai Bae Beach
Kai Bae Beach is divided into two halves by a river, with the best beach at the southern end. It also has a decent nightlife with a number of cocktail bars at the northern end.
Where to stay?
Koh Chang is one of the most popular islands of Thailand. No lack of accommodation either. You will find a lot of everything here. From low-budget hostels to the most luxurious resorts.
Where to spend the night is not very important, as you can easily explore the island on a scooter.
However, we do recommend you to spend the night at the beach. The accommodations in the villages themselves are often of inferior quality. One of the nice hotels is Noren Resort
