Koh Chang

#songkran2024 Koh Chang is an island located in the Gulf of Thailand, near the border with Cambodia. It's the second largest island in Thailand after Phuket and is part of the Mu Ko Chang National Park. Koh Chang is known for its lush tropical rainforests, waterfalls, and pristine beaches. White Sand Beach (Hat Sai Khao) is the most popular and developed beach on the island, offering a range of accommodation options, restaurants, and shops. Other notable beaches include Lonely Beach, Klong Prao Beach, and Kai Bae Beach, each with its own unique charm and atmosphere. One of the highlights of Koh Chang is its natural beauty and outdoor activities. Visitors can explore the island's waterfalls, such as Klong Plu Waterfall, go hiking in the rainforest, or enjoy water sports like kayaking, snorkeling, and diving. Koh Chang is less developed than some of the other Thai islands, which gives it a more laid-back and relaxed vibe. It's a great destination for those looking to escape the crowds and experience nature. The island is accessible by ferry from the mainland town of Trat, which is about a 4-5 hour drive from Bangkok.
