Description
Koh Chang (เกาะช้าง) is Thailand’s second-largest island and is located at the easternmost tip of the Gulf of Thailand, near the Cambodian border. The mountainous “Elephant Island” is known for its dense rainforests, impressive waterfalls, long sandy beaches, and tranquil bays. As part of Mu Ko Chang National Park, it combines unspoiled nature with a laid-back beach lifestyle, snorkeling and diving spots, and excursions to the surrounding islands. Koh Chang offers a blend of adventure, relaxation, and tropical charm, and is one of the most diverse island destinations in eastern Thailand.
