Go to Thailand to do something different in Koh Chang

There are many beautiful islands in Thailand, among which Koh Chang is a good place. So how to do something different in Koh Chang? Let me learn about it below, I hope it will be helpful to you.

First introduction to Koh Chang - the hidden island paradise

Koh Chang is located in "TRAT", Trat Province, the easternmost part of Thailand. It is the largest island in eastern Thailand. , the second largest island in Thailand, more than 300 kilometers away from Bangkok. Since it was developed later than other islands, the island still retains its simple style.

Geographical location

There are more than 50 large and small islands around Koh Chang. The water is so pure that it is an excellent diving spot. You can easily see all the islands. A variety of marine life, soft starfish, colorful fish schools passing by you, clown fish hiding in the coral reefs, nudibranchs lying quietly on the rocks...

Elephant Island What is there to do on Koh Chang?

Koh Chang has a special geography. It has endless sea, green mountains, spectacular waterfalls, dense tropical jungles, and famous elephant projects. It is very rich in gameplay. Colorful.

Island Tour

There are several places on Koh Chang that can be called landmarks: white sand beach and Kabai Observation Deck, Than Mayonamp; Klong Plu Waterfall, Elephant King Temple, Baan Salak Kokamp; Bang Bao fishing village.

The White Beach and Kabei Beach Observation Deck are excellent locations overlooking Koh Chang. Looking down from here, you can have an unobstructed view of the beautiful beaches of Koh Chang, with lush jungles and white sand in the distance, and the boundless blue sea in the distance. It’s really beautiful!

In addition to the sea, you can even see waterfalls on Koh Chang. Among them, Than Mayon & Klong Plu Waterfall is the famous waterfall on the island. It is particularly spectacular to visit during the rainy season, and with the lush forests surrounding it, it is like a fairyland.

There are many Thai-style temples, but the temple on Koh Chang, the Elephant King Temple, is a combination of Chinese and Thai styles, which is very innovative

The Elephant King Temple is in the hearts of the people of Koh Chang It has a sacred status. In the past, if the islanders encountered any unsolvable problems, they would kneel down in the temple and pray to the gods, hoping to eliminate the disaster. If you go to the Elephant King Temple, you can also imitate the local people's worship and pray for blessings.

The two small fishing villages of Baan Salak Kokamp and Bang Bao still retain the simple humanistic customs of Elephant Island. The unique wooden houses on the water are a good place to experience the local culture and customs. The seafood in the fishing village is also very cost-effective. Don’t miss it if you are a foodie!

Island hopping

Come to Xiang Island, if you don’t go on an island hopping trip or go out for snorkeling and swimming, you would really be missing out on the superb sea scenery here.

Most island hopping tours will go to several larger islands in the surrounding area, and they are all concentrated in the south, such as Koh Yak Lak, Koh Mapring, Koh Yai Yai, Koh Rang Yai, and Koh Song Phi. Most island hopping tours are divided into four Island and Five Islands.

The five-island tour can basically visit all the popular diving islands mentioned above, and is suitable for friends who like snorkeling. The water quality of the four islands of Koh Yak Lak, Koh Mapring, Koh Yai Yai and Koh Rang Yai is excellent. The water is very clear and not deep, making it very suitable for snorkeling. Dive into the dreamlike underwater world, and you will see colorful corals, fish swimming in groups beside you, soft starfish...

Play with elephants

Elephant-related projects can be found everywhere in Thailand, but the elephant project in Koh Chang allows you to play with baby elephants on the beach. This is really not something you can experience in many places in Thailand.

Take the baby elephant to the sea to play with the water. When it is happy, you will be happier. At dusk, take a photo with them under the setting sun. Whether you commemorate it by yourself or send it to your friends, it will be a precious picture.

There are several very famous beaches on Koh Chang that must be visited, namely white sand beach, lonely beach and long beach

White Sand Beach

The White Sand Beach tourist area is already very mature. Both sides of the road are full of hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, car rentals, dive shops, and small shops (swimming suits, flip-flops, straw hats, beach shorts , basically all made in China), all available.

The 7-11 convenience store is as convenient as in China. You can use Alipay and WeChat to check out, and the items are very cheap.

The white sand beach is not very long, about one kilometer in total.

There are beautiful girls in bikinis everywhere.

There are many restaurants on the beach, just find one to sit at. Come down and wait quietly for the sunset, which is already beautiful.

Lonely Beach Lonely Beach

Lonely Beach is translated into Chinese as Lonely Beach, but in fact this beach is the least lonely on the island. There are large parties at least three nights a week, all with blond hair. Young men and women with blue eyes are full of hormones. If you want to find a foreigner for a one-night stand, this is a good choice.

There are hundreds of cabins on the beach, which is a paradise for backpackers. The average price is 100 yuan a night. There is no independent bathroom or air conditioning, and the room needs to be booked online in advance.

The sunset makes this beach even more beautiful

long beach

I personally like long beach very much. The sea water is crystal clear and very shallow. You can walk 100 meters away It's only just past the knees.

Everything you look at is bikini, and you would be embarrassed if you didn’t wear one.

It is very important to know how to swim, because the sea water is very clear, so dive in and experience the underwater world. Fan Ke has fulfilled his New Year's wish of "naked swimming" far, far away. Looking from the only restaurant on the beach, I can't see whether you are wearing any clothes, but, who cares?

This In the only restaurant on the beach, the fried rice is the best I have ever eaten in Koh Chang, and the price is very cheap, 40 baht (8 yuan) per serving. If this was the only restaurant in the domestic tourist area, it would cost 100 yuan. Not surprising.
