 For
a bit more of an adventure, there are also numerous beaches to visit,
tucked away on the small surrounding islands and accessible only
by speed boat. Here you can feel like a castaway, for a few hours
at least.
Very Close to Koh Chang
This island has historical significance as it was the battleground
for the Thai and French during the French colonization of Indochina.
This island is a good dive site and there are corals 10 to 20 meters
deep. It is also an excellent fishing spot with larger fish in abundance
This island with its crescent shape has two small but pleasant
beaches and is a quiet place for a day trip
These islands were originally named because of the long lines of
coconut trees on the island. Both islands have beautiful white sand.
This is a group of 3 small islands which are well known for their
long white beaches, turquoise waters, green forests in the interior
and lovely coral at shallow depths. A wooden bridge links two of
the islands and the water beneath this is incredibly crystal clear.
This enchanting island is only a few hundred metres of the southern
most coast of Koh Chang. The island comprises of two kidney shaped
sections held together by a narrow sand dune and with two lagoons
which are excellent for swimming and snorkeling. There is also good
fishing and dolphins are occasionally seen in the area.
South of Koh Chang, 24 islands were grouped together as the sub
district of Koh Kood in 1990. This includes, the main island of
Koh Kood, 9 islands of Koh Maak and 12 islands of Koh Rang. This
small sub-district has a population of less than 2,000 people. About
70% of the population are on Koh Kood while the rest live on Koh
Maak. Most of the rest of the islands are uninhabited.
This is the eastern most island of Thailand, 80 kilometers south
east of Trat town close to the border with Cambodia. It is the second
largest island in the Koh Chang national park and the fourth largest
island in Thailand. About 70% of the island is covered in tropical
forest and there is a breathtaking waterfall in the interior. The
island has little development and stunningly beautiful beaches.
