General information about Koh Chang
Koh Chang is the third largest island in Thailand after and. Tourism on Koh Chang began to develop relatively recently, the first tourists - backpackers, began to sail to the island on fishing boats from the mainland in the mid-70s. Later, Koh Chang became a favorite vacation spot for wealthy Thais who came here for the weekend from.
Until 2010, Russian-speaking tourists were rare guests of the island 🙂 But now Russian speech is heard everywhere on the island: Koh Chang hotels sell package tours and our tour operators, and local travel agencies bring tourists from for several days.

We rested on Koh Chang in the dry season, in November - it rained every evening 🙂

Transport on Koh Chang
An asphalt road runs along the coast of the island, unfortunately this road does not ring the island, but breaks off in the south. The main tourist infrastructure is located in the west of Koh Chang, the traffic here is denser than in the east. On the western part of the island, public transport runs during the day - songteo (open minibuses), which turns into a taxi in the evening. Daytime fare between the nearest beaches is 50 baht per person. There are no metered taxis like in Bangkok on Koh Chang. If you see such a taxi, it means they are visitors from Bangkok 🙂
The main transport on Koh Chang is a bike, there are very few cars. The bike can be rented from 150 baht per day. As a deposit, you must leave either a passport or a copy of your passport and money (usually 2-3 thousand baht).
We rented a Honda Click 125 for 200 baht per day. You can find cheaper bikes on White Sand Beach Gasoline is sold mainly in bottles - 35-40 baht for a 0.7 liter bottle. The only normal gas station is located between the ferry and White Sand Beach, but they refuse to fill it for less than 100 baht!
On Koh Chang, gasoline was bought in bottles for 35-40 baht 
Refueling between White Sand Beach and the ferry with adequate prices, but you can’t refuel for less than 100 baht Since Koh Chang is a mountainous island and there are several dangerous sections of the road with steep serpentines, many people have a question to rent a bike on Koh Chang or not?
One of the dangerous sections of the road in front of the White Sand beach There are two dangerous sections of the road in tourist places:
- If you go from the ferry to the west, then at the entrance to (there is still an observation deck)
- In front of the beach (before reaching the Siam Beach Resort)
The empty roads of Koh Chang 
Almost empty roads on Koh Chang The east coast of the island seemed to us an ideal place for learning to ride a bike: the road is good, there are no mountains, there are no people-cars-bikes either! That's where you need to train to drive a bike!
Ideal empty road in the east of the island Hotels and long term homes in Koh Chang
Housing and hotels on Koh Chang are either bungalows or low 2-4 storey buildings. Fortunately, skyscrapers, like in or in, are forbidden to build on the island. All houses should be lower than palm trees 🙂
The Thai government is trying to turn the paradise quiet island of Koh Chang into a top resort with expensive luxury hotels, so lovers of a comfortable stay will find a large selection of luxury hotels on Koh Chang.
Thrifty travelers will also not be left homeless on Koh Chang. Bungalows can be found for 250 baht per day! A lot of inexpensive housing is located on White Sand Beach on the second line from the sea across the road, towards the jungle, as well as in the Lonely Beach village that we love so much.
On Koh Chang there is housing for every budget Book a hotel in Koh Chang for:
The most rated and popular hotels in Koh Chang:
Most cheap guesthouses are not listed on booking sites!
Book accommodation for holidays and weekends in advance! A lot of Thais from the mainland come to rest on Koh Chang.
With long-term housing, things are not as good as on. Firstly, most of the land of the island is given over to the construction of expensive hotel complexes, and secondly, local entrepreneurs still do not want Koh Chang to become the second Koh Samui, where many winterers and centenarians settled, because tourists spend much more money on vacation, than permanently resident freelancers, and they won’t bargain for a couple of dollars.
Attractions of Koh Chang and things to do on the island
There are not so many attractions on Koh Chang, mostly people come to the island for a relaxing beach holiday. One of the attractions of the island is just its beaches and almost untouched nature. What else to visit on Koh Chang:
waterfalls
temples
There are several small temples on Koh Chang. I wrote in detail about the temples of Koh Chang.
observation decks
There are several equipped viewing platforms on the island. The most official of them is on the mountain near Kai Bey. About the observation decks of Koh Chang in detail
Elephant ride
Come to Thailand and not ride elephants? It's almost about us 🙂 We only once rode an elephant near . The cost of riding elephants on Koh Chang is from 900 baht per person. There are several elephant farms on Koh Chang, one near the Klong Plu Waterfall and several along the main road.
Go kayaking
On the beach you can rent a kayak for 100 baht per hour and swim to the neighboring islands. Four small islands are located opposite the southern part of Kai Bay beach. You can also kayak through the mangroves in the east of the island.
Kayaks for rent at Kai Bay Beach - 100 baht per hour, 400 baht for half a day Visit a fishing village
Go sightseeing in Cambodia
Koh Chang is located near the border with Cambodia, you can go on an excursion to the famous. Highly recommend!
Nightlife on the island
The nightlife of the island is concentrated in two places: on White Sand beach and in the village of Lonely Beach. There are several nightclubs on White Sand Beach, there are also bars where you can rent taekos, but everything, of course, is much quieter and calmer than in Pattaya or Phuket.
On Lonely Beach, parties are often held on the beach, where they dance until the morning. The audience is mostly young foreigners, backpackers, hippies, etc. There are also a lot of nice bars on Lonely Beach where you can sit, drink cocktails, chat and listen to live music.
Bar Siam Hut - they hang out here until the morning, and every Friday there is a beach party A fire show is held on White Sand Beach. We loved to watch the fire show on and on, this time we didn’t catch Lonli Beach.
Koh Chang island we loved it, it's perfect for a beach holiday. I don’t understand why everyone is obsessed with Koh Samui? The beaches on Koh Chang are no worse, and some are even better than, the landscapes are beautiful, the jungle is untouched, there is housing for every taste and budget.
Yes, the infrastructure on Koh Chang is not as well developed as on Koh Samui, but maybe this is the beauty of the island, maybe it’s worth hurrying up and visiting Koh Chang before it becomes the second Koh Samui? After all, in 2005 I saw Koh Samui completely different, not as hectic and Russian-speaking as it is now.
Is Koh Chang suitable for a beach holiday? - definitely yes
Is Koh Chang suitable for families with children? – yes, especially Klong Prao and Chai Chet beaches
Is K Chang suitable for wintering? - Yes, but if only for a period of 1-2 months. It seems to me that in 2 months it will become boring there. And everything is not clear with shops, you need to look for a cheap local market 🙂
If you decide to go on your own, that is, to fully plan your vacation on the island of Koh Chang exactly as you want it, and not as tour operators do it for you, then in any case you will need to get to the island, book accommodation in a hotel or a private house and organize your leisure time. In these and many other issues, you can be helped by local Russian guys who have been living and working on the island since 2010 Satang.ru.
It is often cheaper to buy tickets for excursions and minibuses on Koh Chang already on the spot, without booking seats in advance, since in the high season from October to April they run daily and there are always empty seats. Their prices are the same as in other tourist shops on the island, but at the same time you get a service in Russian, and at any time you need. If you need to take care of renting a private house or villa for several weeks or months in advance, which is not available anywhere on the Internet, then they will also help you!
Igor and Ekaterina will not only answer any of your questions about the island for free, but also give advice: where to eat, where to go for a massage, how to see the island on a budget and on your own, answer all those small but important questions that are usually so reluctant to answer meeting guides in hotels, and in the case of Satang.ru, you just need to call them on the phone!
The Satang.ru office is located at the very beginning of Klong Prao beach, near Chaichet Bay, opposite the Paradise resort, Chaichet resort and Coconut beach resort, so if you are located somewhere nearby, be sure to stop by to say hello 🙂
Friends, now you know almost everything about Koh Chang. Share articles on social networks with your friends, maybe someone will also discover the paradise island of Koh Chang for themselves 🙂

Koh Chang map
Koh Chang, whose image resembles the head of an elephant with a trunk, is becoming an increasingly popular tropical holiday destination among tourists from all over the world. Most of it belongs to the national park, so the influx of tourists is naturally limited here, and you can forget about the fuss of “experienced” resorts such as Phuket and Koh Samui. This island is the perfect solution for the best vacation in a picturesque and serene place. The Koh Chang Thailand Hotel Map is also available free of charge at most hotels, travel agencies or cafes. On it you can find any hotel or guesthouse on any beach of the island. You can find Koh Chang hotels on the map below.▣ Ko Chang is the second largest island in Thailand.
Koh Chang is a real paradise for those who are truly into wildlife. The territory of the island is surrounded by massive mountain ranges and is about 215 km², which is the third indicator among all such islands in Thailand, after Phuket and Koh Samui.
It also belongs to the Mu Koh Chang National Marine Reserve. There are many different parks, carefully protected by the state.
Koh Chang island on the map of Thailand
The island is located at a distance of about 300 kilometers from Bangkok and not far from the eastern province of Trat. The literal translation from the local language means "Isle of the Elephant".
It got its name due to the image on the map, the outlines of which resemble the silhouette of an elephant. Near Chang there are about 50 more exotic islands for recreation. The most popular: and Koh Mak.
At the moment, about five thousand inhabitants live on the island. Their main activities are fruit growing and fishing. The local people are distinguished by their hospitality and friendliness, so you will feel right at home here.
The construction of bars, hotels and other entertainment facilities is not carried out as rapidly as in other areas. This is due to the fact that the island is still the most valuable national park. You won’t have much fun here, this place is suitable mainly for a quiet family vacation. There are no crowds of drunken vacationers and girls of easy virtue. Prices for hotel rooms are quite cheap.
Prices here are somewhat lower than in the more popular resorts of Thailand. This is an absolute plus, but depending on the level of establishments and the range offered, you will have to spend money.
The maximum that can please lovers of nightlife is several bars and venues where discos and various events are held. Tourists will also be interested in: elephant rides through the jungle, diving, fire shows, and fishing. You can also go on a short trip to the neighboring islands.
How to get there
There are three ways to get to Koh Chang - by plane, by bus and by taxi to the city of Trat. First of all, you need to understand that Koh Chang is an island, which means that any kind of travel includes a ferry. The main ferry piers are Center Point Pier and Koh Chang Ferry Pier.
▣ Ferry to Koh Chang. Ferries from Koh Chang Ferry Pier regularly depart from the pier and sail for half an hour, and from Center Point Ferry Pier for about an hour. They run from 6 am to 7 pm. Cost, 80 baht per passenger one way, or 120 baht for a return ticket.
Marina map of Koh Chang
By plane
There is no airport on Koh Chang, the nearest one is in Trat. There is only one airline flying there - Bangkok Air. Air ticket price from 3000 baht, travel time 1 hour. You can check the schedule on their website and book tickets there. Flights are carried out three times a day - at 8:40, 10:30 and 17:05. After that, you need to catch a mini-bus and go to the pier. The cost is 100 baht.
By bus
From Ekamai Bus Terminal (Bangkok East Station) or Mo Chit Bus Terminal (Bangkok North Station). The buses are comfortable, air-conditioned, make stops along the way, arrive at the Trat Bus Terminal or immediately to the pier. Buses run to Trat every half an hour, from 6 am to 11 pm. From Trat to the pier you can take a songteo, the cost is 50-100 baht. Travel time 30 minutes.
Taxi
You can use taxi services, the cost will be 3500-4500 baht from the airport. If you have already reached the city, then you can try to catch it with your hand and bargain. In this case, the trip will cost about 2 thousand baht. If you went on vacation with a large company, then the best choice would be to rent a minibus. By the way, a very good option, because for only a modest four hundred baht per person, he will take you to your destination.
There is no sea communication between Koh Chang and other resorts in Thailand.
Transport
Public transport is problematic here. Therefore, you will have only two ways to move. The first is to rent a bike or car, the second is to travel by songteo.
Renting a bike will cost you 150-300 baht per day, if rented for a long time, the price will be 3000-3500 baht per month. Helmet included. In the case of long-term rentals, it is recommended to bargain with the owners. The same goes for car rentals. Price per day from 1100 to 2000 baht. To rent, you will need a passport (or at least a copy of it) - it is advisable to leave a cash deposit to avoid unpleasant circumstances.
▣ Bike rental. If you do not want to deal with car rental, then songteo is the best option. Always agree with the driver on the price in advance and bargain. On average, the cost of a trip with two people is 100 baht. A feature of this type of transport is that in the morning and late in the evening, rental prices rise significantly. Therefore, it is better to use the day.
The beaches of the island differ in that they are located at a sufficiently large distance from each other and it will be quite difficult to get there on foot. Therefore, it would be best to use the songteo taxi service.
There is really another option - it's hiking in Koh Chang.
sights
Upon arrival in Thailand on the island of Koh Chang, the first thing to do is to plan excursions in order not only to relax on the sunny beach, but also to take beautiful photos against the backdrop of local attractions. Be sure to visit the Klong Phlu waterfall, which is located near the beach of Klong Prao. Very comfortable for swimming. The depth in one of its bowls reaches 7 meters.
▣ Klong Plu Waterfall Than Mayom - this waterfall, which forms a beautiful pool with four cascades. It is noteworthy that nearby you can put up a tent or set up a campsite.
There are many other waterfalls worth seeing here. These bodies of water include: Kiri Pet, Nang Yom and Klong Nyng.
Since they are also part of the national reserve, you can visit them only if you purchase a ticket for 200 baht.
If you love picturesque places, then Klong Son will not leave you indifferent. This bay offers stunning views that you can admire for hours and take amazing photos. It is no secret that the locals are mainly engaged in fishing. If you want to see how this happens and immerse yourself in the daily life of the Thais, then you can go to the fishing villages, for example, Rong Than and Salak Pet, Bang Bao.
The most famous village in Thailand is Bang Bao. It differs in that the bungalows of local residents are located right in the sea on special stages. This is where fish is caught and processed. By the way, in the fishing villages you can visit branded restaurants where local food is prepared, learn about the traditions and mentality of the locals, and also find out what they do.
On Koh Chang, you can get unforgettable emotions by riding on elephants. We also recommend that you visit the monkey school and see how they were tamed. The school is called Koh Chang Monkey School. It is located on White Sand Beach. The show runs for an hour.
However, the most memorable entertainment is Flight of the Gibbon. This attraction will cause tourists a huge amount of adrenaline and unrealistic drive. Here you will travel through the jungle with ropes for several hours.
Religion on Koh Chang is an important part of the culture. Chao Po is the main shrine which means "Holy Father Koh Chang". Residents firmly believe that if you constantly pray to the Father, then a real miracle can happen.
▣ Chao Po Shrine on Koh Chang. A special monument of local residents is the memorial to the heroes of the sea battle. He became famous for the fact that at the beginning of the twentieth century, during the battle between the Thais and the French, a ship of the local fleet crashed here.
▣ Bang Bao Lighthouse on Koh Chang. As you can see, there are no special attractions, with the exception of several waterfalls, ancient temples and the above entertainments. However, stunningly picturesque places will completely replace the absence of large excursion programs.
Beaches
The most popular place is White Sand Beach. There is a huge number of restaurants, bars, various shops and massage parlors. Lonely Beach is the perfect spot for a photo as the white sand blends harmoniously with the rocky landscape.
There are open-air parties almost every night. Of course, the level of such events is very mediocre, but enough people gather. One of the advantages of the beaches is that even in the most popular places you can find a secluded place where you can take a walk.
The authorities are extremely serious about the ecology of the island. Therefore, the water and the shore are constantly in perfect purity. Moreover, the preservation of such a state is the duty of not only residents, but also visitors.
You can also relax on the beaches located in the western part of the coast, such as: Hat Sai Khao, Bang Bao, Khlong Son, Khlong.
Weather
The weather on Koh Chang does not always please vacationers. Due to the monsoon winds, rainy weather sets in from June to October, so the best period will be the period from November to May. During this period, the weather is always sunny, and the temperature is about 30 degrees. The rainiest month is August. Almost all resorts accept vacationers all year round, but there are exceptions.
Housing
On Koh Chang, you can live to your heart's content, ranging from inexpensive bungalows to modern chic oceanfront homes. Most hotels are located in close proximity to the beaches, and the cost directly depends on its location and level of accommodation. If you want a more peaceful and secluded holiday, you can rent a bungalow.
Housing prices start at 150 baht. By the way, for 300-450 baht you can find a decent bungalow with all amenities. House or guest house - prices are on average 700-900 baht per night. A hotel room averages 2,500 baht.
▣ Cozy bungalows on the beach. The most popular hotel is KC Grande Resort & Spa. This hotel provides tourists with all the conditions for a comfortable stay and even more. Free wifi and parking, swimming pool, fitness, spa treatments and more.
Villa Plounge Pool is also distinguished by its hospitality and high level of service. The base of hotels provides an extensive choice to its customers.

Its tourist infrastructure can already compete with its "big brother" today, but the development of the resort area of Koh Chang began relatively recently.
Almost untouched by human hand, natural resources can be called the highlight of the resort. 80% of the island of Koh Chang is still covered with the wilds of the jungle, and some beaches of the ocean coast remain "wild" and belong to protected natural areas. And only 20% of the area is actively built up with hotels, restaurants, health and entertainment centers.

Koh Chang is quiet at night. The regulars are hardly accustomed to such calmness. Only a small number of discos and nightclubs does not make the island a resort for pensioners (read more about life).

Locals say that vacationers alone on the beach are most likely to not fall asleep White Sand Beach, but if you have arrived, nevertheless, it is better to go to more cereal resorts.
