Whilst we’ve all heard of popular islands in Thailand like Phuket and Koh Samui, the island of Koh Chang remains unknown for many people. Unlike its famous counterparts, it’s not in the south but rather in the far east of the Gulf of Thailand close to the border of Cambodia. Maybe that’s why it’s managed to avoid the hordes of crowds which flock to the southern half of the country, or maybe it’s because it’s not home to an international airport, or maybe it’s just managed to fly below the radar as people who are lucky enough to discover it want to keep it as an unspoilt secret. Whatever the reason, Koh Chang and its surrounding islands are some of the most beautiful in Thailand. So read on for a guide on how to visit this island paradise.
