Koh Chang is Thailand’s second-largest island, located off the coast of Trat Province in eastern Thailand. While second only to Phuket in size, it retains far more pristine tropical rainforest and rustic fishing village charm. Over 70% of the island is covered by national park, with dense mangroves, waterfalls, and mountain trails making it a paradise for nature lovers. The west coast features a string of beaches from north to south — White Sand Beach is lively and convenient, Klong Prao Beach is long and tranquil, and Kai Bae Beach is remote and secluded — each with its own rhythm and charm. From Bangkok, you can take a bus to Trat Pier and then a ferry, a journey of about 5 to 6 hours total. Alternatively, you can fly directly to Trat Airport and take a boat. It’s one of the closest island getaways to Bangkok.

Koh Chang’s Three Main Accommodation Areas
| Area | Features & Advantages | Best Suited For |
| White Sand Beach | The earliest developed and liveliest beach on Koh Chang, and the first stop for the ferry pier bus. Both sides of the beach are packed with restaurants, bars, massage parlors, and convenience stores. After dark, the beach bars become the island’s most active nightlife scene. Accommodation ranges from upscale resorts to budget guesthouses. | First-time visitors and travelers who prioritize convenience |
| Klong Prao Beach | Koh Chang’s longest beach, with kilometers of golden sand lined with dense coconut groves — the area with the highest concentration of resorts on the island. Both the middle and northern sections have rivers flowing into the sea, creating unique lagoon landscapes. Resorts here mostly feature pools and restaurants, with a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. | Travelers who want a quiet, relaxing vacation |
| Kai Bae Beach | Located in the middle of Koh Chang’s west coast, about 15 minutes by car from White Sand Beach. Even quieter than Klong Prao, it’s the most secluded area on the island. There’s a small island in front of the beach that can be reached on foot at low tide — a unique Koh Chang experience. Accommodation consists mainly of small-to-medium boutique resorts. | Couples seeking tranquility and romance |
