Island Guide
The island of Koh Chang . . . to some it’s the ‘Maldives of Thailand‘ to others ‘The Oriental Eden of the East‘ or even the ‘Last Paradise of Natural‘ but to anyone who has ever been here, or who lives in the real world, this is all marketing nonsense. What you want to know is ‘What is Koh Chang really like?‘ The good, the bad and the stuff hotel booking sites ‘forget’ to mention. Fortunately, you’ve come to the right place to find out.

Salakphet Bay
Salakphet Bay, Koh Chang: 2012-13 Update

Salakkok Bay
Salakkok Bay, Koh Chang: 2012-13 Update

The East Coast of Koh Chang
East Coast, Koh Chang: 2012-13 Update
The East Coast of Koh Chang isn’t really on the tourist map. There are a few places to stay and these are usually very good value, but the lack of good sandy beaches, shops, restaurants, signs of life etc means that it’s still only …
Klong Son
Klong Son, Koh Chang: 2012-13 Update
A few minutes after leaving the ferry pier you’ll pass through Klong Son village. You probably won’t even realise you are passing through it as the pick-up truck taxi won’t stop and you’ll see very few obvious signs of tourism by the main road. Klong …

North White Sand Beach
White Sand Beach, Koh Chang: 2012-13 Update

South Klong Prao Beach
South Klong Prao Beach, Koh Chang: 2012-13 Update
After Klong Prao Resort, the road heads away from the beach and meanders for a couple of kilometres before reaching through Klong Prao village before running parallel to the beach again at the southern end of Klong Prao beach. This southern section is …
