Khao Rakham Reservoir
I was in Trat the other day so decided to head out to the reservoir which is just a couple of kilometres out of town to see if there were any nice places for lunch. There weren’t. In any other town there would be some nice waterfront restaurants where tourists …
The Klong Prao Loop. An Easy 9 Km Walk
A 9km walk, from the beach to the National Park. Get away from the main road and off the beaten track and see the Klong Prao area by foot. There’s a Googlemap, loads of photos and even some written instructions for a great day out sightseeing on foot on Koh Chang.
The Trek Across Koh Chang – Coast to Coast in a Day
In the past guided walks across the island have been possible but these always involved an overnight stay camping in the middle of the jungle. I was never too keen on that idea and I knew that in the past it was possible to walk across the island in a …
Golf on Koh Chang – New 9 Hole Course
Regular readers of the site will have noticed by now that I rarely get over excited about a new attraction or event here on Koh Chang. Mainly because most are pretty average at best. So when one does come along that definitely merits a mention I am happy to spread …
The Rarely Visited Klong Prao Waterfall
Nope, not Klong Plu, that’s the big waterfall on the west coast of Koh Chang where you pay 200Baht to get in.
Klong Prao waterfall is in the same area but is much smaller and far less of an attraction which is probably why the plan, years ago, to make it …
Than Mayom Waterfall, Koh Chang
In theory if a waterfall is impressive enough for not one but two Thai kings to have made the effort to visit well over 100 years ago, it should be well worth a look. However, Than Mayom Waterfall always leaves me with a serious “Is that it?” feeling. Sure there …
The Unofficial Kai Bae Viewpoint
High up on a hillside midway between Kai Bae and Lonely Beach lies a run down building. It belongs to the National Park and I remember seeing it when it was being built and by the looks of things it was planned as a restaurant and visitor centre. …
Koh Chang’s Tallest Waterfall. Visiting ‘Klong Neung’
Read pretty much any guide on Koh Chang or look at any map and there will be a mention of Klong Neung waterfall, Koh Chang’s tallest, which is located in the south-east of the island. What there won’t, or extremely rarely, will be is any photos of it and most …
Rainy (a.k.a. Green) Season Activities: Wave Watching
Right now a tropical storm is passing over Vietnam and towards Thailand. Koh Chang, and elsewhere in Thailand will get the edge of it. Luckily, the weather here is nowhere as extreme as in the Philippines or Vietnam but when the remnants of a storm do pass over the sea can be a tad choppy. A few photos here.
Klong Jow Laem Waterfall ( a.k.a. the one in Klong Son )
Here is another waterfall that is set in a peaceful location which is easy to visit for anyone with a scooter. You can combine it with a visit to the island’s best elephant camp which is located about 500 metres before you reach the starting off point for the waterfall …
How To Find Kai Bae Waterfall
Kai Bae Waterfall doesn’t merit a mention in any of the popular guidebooks for Koh Chang and isn’t marked on maps. And yet it does exist, it’s being only grudgingly acknowledged by locals and long term expats who speak of the ‘Secret waterfall’ in hushed tones less it be discovered …
What Wat? Bangbao Temple & Klong Son Temple
Located at the opposite ends of the west coast of Koh Chang, Bangbao and Klong Son villages are both fishing communities and both have their own small temple called a ‘wat’. Neither of these two temples is visited much by tourists. Mainly because there isn’t anything spectacular to see if …
