I have long wanted to write an overview article on what to do on Co. Chang, to immediately about everything, but in brief. And then something in the last time I have friends going there one by one going, and much easier it would be to give them a summary post to read than throwing a bunch of links. The more that there will be more and additional information that is not was posted on the blog due to the fact that the full article is not pulling.

Best in Asia to look for hotels through RoomGuru aggregator, he shows hotel prices at once in all reservation systems. Not everyone knows that in Asia, not Booking is popular, but Agoda, and this service will show all at once.

What to see in Ko Chang and what to do

Swim on different beaches of Koh Chang

If you really like to swim or sunbathe, then you can almost Every day, to change the place of residence and move from the beach to the beach in search of the very one that you like the most. Although in principle, you can not change the hotel, but just ride a bike in different places, or on buses under the proud name Taxi, that plying around the island. I have already described all the beaches of Koh Chang.

Ride a bike around the island

Bike lovers can not explain anything here, they themselves will want to do it. Perfectly combined with the previous item. Yes, there are serpentines and you need to be very careful, and even better not take a bike if you are not confident in your abilities, but this is probably one of the most memorable impressions of the island especially from its eastern part. There in the south are almost deserted Places: Long Beach, Memorial, Hotel on the water. And just on the eastern part without a bike is harder to get there, they don’t really go there Taxi. How to rent a scooter in Thailand, I already told.

Go to the waterfalls

There are many waterfalls in Koh Chang, but most likely to watch them does not make sense. You can limit the most popular Klong Plu Waterfall, you can also swim in it, the bowl is big and deep. Or on Klong Chao Luam to go to the real jungle, there it is a walk through the forest that is more memorable than a small rivulet with low cascades. All about the waterfalls on Koh Chang you can learn from my article.

Elephant ride

Many people want to ride an elephant, if you haven’t ridden yet, try it. Just once, probably worth it. On the way to the waterfall Klong Plu Waterfall or Klong Chao Luam will be an elephant farm and you with pleasure ride. I also met another farm around the middle of the beach kae bay. I myself am on Koh Chang on elephants not traveled, it was enough to go to Pai, it is not much is different.

Play paintball

Somewhere between the elephants and the Klong Plu Falls, there is a platform for paintball She is designated by the skirmish paintball player standing by roads.

Call at the observation deck

Most likely, you will ride around the island and one day you will go to side of lonely beach. On the way, you will stumble on the lookout, not to notice its hard. Just right after the beach, Kai Bay starts off cool. the rise of the mountain, and almost at its very top will be a wonderful sanitized area, overlooking the Gulf of Siam and the nearest small island, which can be reached by kayak. At this the site is good to meet the sunset, beautiful.

Lookout right after Kai Bay

There are other survey points, but they are less popular, and some of them are not equipped platforms, but simply spontaneous view points. For example, a good review opens right before the descent to the beach of White Sand (if you go from the pier), this is the curb right in the direction of travel.

Kayak to neighboring islands

In the paragraph above, I already wrote about kayaks. At the end of the beach Kai Bay (if you go from the ferry pier) opposite the 7/11 there is a turn to beach, and there is a kayak rental point, the price is quite small, 300 baht from the boat for half a day. In the nearest reach is 4 Islands, one more and 3 very small. By and large on them there is nothing special to do, but the point is in the process and achievement one point or another. On the big island (Koh Man Nai) there is a beach where you can swim on the farthest small island (Koh Yuak) there is a beach too.

Koh Man Nai Island Beach

You can also go kayaking on the eastern side of the island. at the very end, for Long Beach, the cost is 300 baht for the whole day. There there is a dead end cafe, where kayaks are leased.

After Long Beach you can take kayaks and swim in the neighboring the islands

Climb the rope park

Probably for me this is one of the most interesting events on Koh Chang. I can not say that there is super extreme, but for those who never tried it the most. The park is small, all climbing It will take about an hour and a half, first you climb in different ways. obstacles, and then whistle a zip-line ride. Read more read about the park in my article – Rope Park on Koh Chang.

Visit the fishing village of Bang Bao

Just after the rope park you can see the fishing the village of Bang Bao, there is very close. Actually watch it there is nothing special (berth, lighthouse and houses), rather you can eat there go. Quite a large selection of all marine life, just go to the pier and look right / left, choosing which cafe more likely.

Watch fire show

Fire show takes place in the evenings, somewhere around 20-21. It is not very long, but as a rule, you still sit in a cafe in the evening, therefore it is as an addition. On the White Sand Garden beach it passes in a cafe – but I don’t know about other beaches. It seems to be on Lonely Beach is.

Short but colorful fire show

Buy excursion

Well, the last thing is to buy a guided tour (although it may be for someone and the first). Mostly offer trips to different islands. in order to swim on different beaches, admire the wild nature and snorkel (swim with a mask and snorkel) in places where there is coral and fish. Boat excursions are alike, but I recommend to float on Koh Kood or Ko Mak (or both), if you like such boat trips on the beaches. On Ko Kood really white beaches and generally very beautiful.

In terms of excursions there are also offers for active travelers like jungle trekking and mountain skiing bicycles.

Koh Chang map with tags

Well, and to make it easier for you to navigate on the spot here you card with my tags. It marked everything that I found for myself interesting on the island. And paper cards and other Google cards can be found here – maps of Koh Chang.

P.S. At Koh Chang, I stayed in different places, but described so far only one, budget bungalow White Sand Garden. General housing there is a lot of it.
