ABOUT KOH CHANG

With white sand beaches, waterfalls, coral reefs and an archipelago of more than 50 islands, un-crowded Koh Chang is a real tropical paradise. Thailand’s second largest island. Mangroves and beach forest line the shores, and the whole island supports a huge diversity of wildlife.

Stretching down the eastern coast are countless idyllic islands and escapist small beach resorts. The most glimmering of the jewels is Koh Chang. White sand, turquoise waters and an exquisite setting for a perfect tropical vacation.

Koh Chang - a paradise it is. A place for recreation in a tropical setting, with peace in mind, to recharge the energies of life. But this paradise is easy to reach. Koh Chang is only 330 km east of Bangkok, or 4 hours by road/40 minutes by air - plus 30 minutes by ferry.

Not well known, Koh Chang is actually the second largest island of Thailand, behind Koh Phuket. Despite its size and the close distance from Bangkok, Koh Chang is least known, undeveloped, untouched and forgotten for decades.

Koh Chang Marine National Park is a secret yet to be explored. Nearly 75% of the Marine Park is protected by law, under the jurisdiction of the Forestry Department of Thailand. This explains how it remains a virgin wonderland protected from divesting development.

The locals as well as visiting guests are pleased the way it is. A paradise for those who appreciate nature as its basics more than the sophisticated over-developed modernity as we find it in Phuket.

The coastlines of Koh Chang archipelago is a spectacular work of natures art and there are beautiful beaches, coves and bays around the islands. Colorful coral reefs, clear blue sea and warm waters. On the islands we find fertile rainforests, un-trekked jungles, high peaks, breathtaking waterfalls and fascinating wildlife. All waiting to be discovered.

A Trip to the Island

To travel to Koh Chang, you always arrive at the Laem Ngop ferry terminals first. In Laem Ngop there are 3 piers. The oldest, directly situated at the port of Laem Ngop, is not in operation at present.

Second, Laem-Ngop-Pier (Tha-Khrom-Luang or also Tha-Laem-Ngop), is situated approx. 700 metres west of Laem Ngop. Third, Center-Point-Pier (Tha-Center-Point) is about 3.5 kilometres in the northwest. These piers serve both car and passenger ferries.

The mini busses from Bangkok arrive at Center-Point-Pier, also many of the individually chartered taxis from Trat arrive here, whereas the local pickup-taxis (Songthaows) head for Laem-Ngop-Pier.

A further pier for car ferries is in the Thammachat Bay (Aow Thammachat), approximately 15 kilometres west of Laem Ngop. However this jetty is only required for those who come with their own or a rented vehicle.

Koh Chang has various piers, which are almost all situated on the eastern side of the island. The majority of traffic is handled at the two Dan-Kao-Piers. The boats from Laem Ngop take approximately 45 minutes to the Dan-Kao-Piers. The car ferry takes about 50 - 60 minutes and arrives at the Dan-Kao-Ferry-Pier (Tha-Ferry-Dan-Kao), which is situated 400 metres southeast of Dan-Kao-Pier (Tha-Dan-Kao). The car-ferry from Thammachat Bay stops at the Ko-Chang-Ferry-Pier (Tha-Ferry-Ko-Chang) in the Sapparot Bay (Aow Sapparot), 3 kilometres northwest from the Dan-Kao-Pier.

Meals, fruit, snacks and beverages are available at all the piers and on the car-ferries.

From the eastern bus terminal Ekamai in the Sukhumvit Road, A/C buses for 257 Baht (first class)?(Tel. 02/391 25 04)?and Non A/C buses for 188 Baht (Tel. 02/391 80 97) leave hourly between 6.00 am - 11.00 pm to the province capital Trat, 315 kilometres away from Bangkok, is the starting point to Koh Chang and to Cambodia. The travel time may take between 4 and 6 hours depending on the departure time. Bus from Ekamai direct to the ferry leaves twice per day, 7.45 am and 9.45 am cost 250 Baht.

Facts About Koh Chang

Koh Chang is very popular among visitors. Situated in the nearest distance from Laem Ngob, it takes 1 hour to reach the desired destinations on Koh Chang. The best season to visit the islands is between October and May. During the rainy season from May to October, visitors are not allowed to the islands south of Koh Chang; for example, Koh Kut, Koh Mak, Koh Wai and Koh Kham. The boat trip to Koh Chang can be made all year round. In the rainy season, a boat will sail along the inner coast of Koh Chang because the island's long and large shape provides shelter from sea winds and waves. Visitors will trips on land to individual destinations.

White Sand Beach
White Sand Beach (Haad Sai Kao) is a beautiful sandy beach at the northern end of Koh Changs west coast. It is about 2.5 kilometres long and lined by rocks, over-hanging palms and broad-leaved trees. The southern 1.5 kilometre long area, located at the road, is during the season the busiest part of the entire island.

In addition, the northern part, probably the most well-known and longest visited beach on Koh Chang, is today, after over 15 years of tourism, still quite quiet. The mountains covered with close rain forest, almost reach the beach in the northern part, where the road winds itself steeply up the mountain.

Although the entire beach is flat like almost everywhere on the west coast it is still suitable for swimming at either high or low tide.

Climate
Koh Chang is the ideal location for the real rest as the weather there is very comfortable with the average temperature not too cold or too hot. Ko Chang is influenced by the northeastern and southwestern storms. That triggers limitations to the water transportation to the group of islands. Between May and October, which is the period of southwestern monsoons, the west coast is always visited by storms and thus, not safe for ferryboats. Between November to April is very safe since there are quite a few storms. Most of Trat areas lie in the Gulf of Thailand. This makes the province abundant with tourism resources. Trat has as many as 52 islands, especially Ko Chang include sea, waterfalls, and forest. The province is also the source of red sapphire, fine shrimp paste and sweet Ra-Kum, a kind of palm of genus Malacca with sweet and acid taste

Koh Chang is great if you love the outdoors.
There are many activities to attempt you. The sports are wide range from scuba diving to trekking. Koh chang has one of the most beautiful scenery. The basic watersports are also available e.g. snorkeling, banana boat, kayaking, etc.

On the island you can also rent a motorbike to travel around Koh Chang if you like sight seeing or you can bring you own car on the island. There are ferries which run from the mainland to the island every 3 hours and the prices are reasonable too.

Fisherman's Village

Bang Bao is a photogenic village built out into the bay on stilts. There are several small restaurants noted for their fresh seafood. The Bang Bao Bay has been a sanctuary for fishing boats seeking shelter from the monsoon for over a century. It has lately become a resort and recreation area with bungalows built on selected scenic sites, fine seafood restaurants that guarantee fresh daily catches and local shops of souvenirs.

Bang Bao Bay (Aow Bang Bao) is a well protected bay at the southwest end of Koh Chang. It measures about 1 kilometre in width and in length. The quaint fishing village Baan Bang Bao is built on stakes far out into the bay and has become quite a popular attraction. Many seafood restaurants offer a rich selection of fresh seafood and small shops sell souvenirs or refreshments.

Waterfalls on Koh Chang

Koh Chang accommodates several waterfalls of different sizes, which all have plenty of water at the end of the rainy season (Oct/Nov) and are most delightful during this time.

The 4 most well-known can be reached by foot, one or two however, under difficult conditions. Good footwear should be worn and company is advisable in case of a possible accident as no help can be expected.

Khlong Plu Waterfall (also: Khlong Prao Waterfall): The branching to the waterfall is at the main road between Baan Khlong Prao and the northern end of Khlong Prao Beach. A 2 kilometre concrete road leads to the Marine-Park-Office. There you will find a few small restaurants and here you also have to pay the entrance fee of 200 Baht for foreigners or 20 Baht for locals. After approximately 500 metres walk, you arrive at the foot of the falls which are about 20 metres high. Here you will find a pool suitable to bathe in.

Just before you reach the pool there is a small path on the right which is not very well marked. After 15 minutes walk on this path you reach the top of the main falls where more pools can be found, also suitable for a refreshing dip. A beautiful view down to the sea also awaits the visitor. (Good footwear is an advantage!)

In 8 - 10 hours one can walk in company of a Ranger to the Than Mayom Waterfall on the east coast of Koh Chang (see 'Sights', 'National-Marine-Park'). Only the more experienced trekkers should try this path alone and should get good documents beforehand at the Tourist-Information or at the National-Marine-Park-Offices.

Than Mayom Waterfall: This waterfall consists of 3 individual levels of different sizes. The first can be reached in 10 minutes simply by foot from the entrance. Here there are 2 pools in which one can take a refreshing bath. In another 30 minutes a rough and narrow path leads up to two further falls. The third fall is called the King Rama Waterfall.

Ke Rhepet Waterfall (also Khiri Phet Waterfall or Tri Petch Waterfall): From Baan Salak Phet a more or less easily passable jungle track leads, after 1.5 kilometres, to the beginning of a footpath. After a few hundred metres, one reaches the first level of the 12-storey-waterfall, where a small pool to bathe in waits for you. The further levels of the waterfalls are reached over a very difficult adventurous path from where you have a breath-taking view over Salak Phet Bay.
