With white sand beaches, waterfalls and coral reefs and more than 40 outlying islands, uncrowded Koh Chang is a relative newcomer to the scene.
Koh Chang is the second largest Island of Thailand. Pristine rainforest covers rugged, hilly Koh Chang, Thailand's second largest island. Mangroves and beach forest line the shores, and the whole island supports a huge diversity of wildlife, including macaques, monitor lizards, pythons and barking deer. White-winged terns, nightjars and several species of hornbill are some indigenous birds; many others migrate here.
Traveling to Koh Chang is more convenient than before as Bangkok Airways offers direct, 50-minute flights from Bangkok to Trat, with Laem Ngob pier just 10 kilometres from the airport. The cheaper way is to take a bus from the Eastern Bus Terminal in Bangkok; get off at Akemai BTS sky train station. The trip takes about five and a half hours.
