Also known as Elephant Island, due to its shape, Koh Chang is one of the largest Thai islands in the Gulf of Thailand.

Sitting approximately 300 kilometers east of Bangkok, in the province of Trat, this island is beaming with powdery white sand, clear waters, and coral reefs.

Aside from the beaches, rainforests and mountains make up about 70% of Koh Chang.

Koh Chang National Park preserves the islands natural beauty and offers hiking trails and waterfalls such as the tiered Klong Plu.

While one might say the island is largely unspoiled, Koh Chang's beaches couldn’t exactly be referred to as undiscovered – since the island attracts a lot of tourism.

However, they they certainly lack the fame that attracts tourists to destinations like Phuket and Samui.

The western coastline of Koh Chang is dotted with resorts and inns, while the eastern and southern parts are generally more peaceful, with fewer accommodations and bars.

The island is popular for those en-route to Cambodia, as the island isn't far from the border. So if you have Cambodia on your itinerary, you can schedule Koh Chang on the way out or on the way back.

It's that beautiful here that you might consider doing both!......(Continued at link)

Agreed, without doubt our most favorite spot in Thailand. Pain to get to from HH though, we were hoping the car ferry service to Pattaya would go ahead to take a few hours off the journey.
