Off Thailand’s southeastern coast Koh Chang is Thailand’s second-largest island after Phuket. The Koh Chang National Marine Park occupies most of Koh Chang as well as several nearby islands. The island is located 140 mi/225 km southeast of Bangkok. In recent years the island has become more popular with travelers and Thai people alike. Most of the beach resorts are located on the beautiful west coast of the island. Koh Chang has several wonderful waterfalls that allow swimming and diving from rocks. There are elephant trekking tours through the jungle and there are a dozen diving schools that will guide you to the best diving spots that Thailand has to offer. Most Thais like to go squid fishing at night and kayaking or hiking during the day.

There is a local information repository kohchang.guidebook.in.th that hosts maps and tips.

Arriving on Ko Chang by boat, you are greeted by many truck taxis waiting to take you around the island. The roads are steep and winding at times, but these local treks will be memorable.

_______Practical Information
Edit This
Do wear a helmet when riding motorcycles. The roads can be quite treacherous to the unwary driver with many steep slopes ending in sharp curves. Should you get into a minor accident, seek out the government medical centers as they offer excellent service at a fraction of the price of the more commercial facilities.

_________Getting There
Edit This
Ko Chang lies just off the coast of east Thailand a few kilometers from Kampuchea (Cambodia). Ko Chang is reached by ferry from the mainland. Take a songthaew from Trat to Laem Ngop on the coast to get to the ferry. There are a number of ferries to choose from. Many people book already transport at Khao San Rd. in Bangkok and do not have to worry about it. If you want to go on your own go from Ekamai station in Sukhumvit road. There are aircon buses on an hourly base going to Trat. Once there, a pickup truck will bring you to Laem Ngop where there ferryboat to Koh Chang is waiting for you. Actually there are minibus services from almost everywhere nowadays.
