Koh
Chang
Koh Chang is the second largest island of Thailand, situated
in the Gulf of Thailand, close to the Cambodian border. It
is a real tropical getaway. Being a national park, nature
is well protected. Development is mainly around the beautiful
sandy beaches; the resort of the Island is very mountainous
and covered in green rainforest, one of the oldest in Thailand.
Koh Chang has something to offer for everyone. Some of the
activities are: serious sun tanning, snorkeling, diving, kayaking,
mountain biking, tree top adventure park, hiking, elephant
trekking, fishing, swimming, ... and of course relaxing on
one of the many great beaches, tasting the fresh seafood,
or even learning how to cook it! Most development is along
the west coast, beaches from North to South are: Hat Sai Khao
(White Sand beach), Klong Prao, Kai Bae, Hat Ta Nam (lonely
beach) and the more secluded beaches past Bang Bao village...
All of these beaches have accommodation and dining facilities,
with White Sand beach being the biggest and most developed.
Most of the beaches have accommodation ranging from 200 baht
for a simple hut to a few thousand baht for a luxury room
in a resort.
Bang
Bao
Bang Bao is situated in the south of the island. It is a unique
fishing village along a pier, completely built on stilts.
The pier ends in a picturesque small harbor, and is the departure
point for many boat trips. The fishermen are still very active,
which is why Bang Bao is 'the' place to come and taste incredibly
fresh seafood. Bang Bao boat office is the first one on the
pier, opposite the 7/11 shop, on the right-hand side. Our
boats leave from the end of the pier, we will walk you there
after checking in the office. We pick up our customers, but
if you d like to travel here Bang Bao can be reached by taxi,
or, if you are an experienced driver, the motorbike trip down
here is great. The road is good but very hilly, there are
some steep slopes offering great views of the island.
