EXPLORE PRISTINE WATERFALLS

Koh Chang is well known for it’s amazing waterfalls and there are plenty found around the island to see. Most waterfalls are easily accessible in Koh Chang and none are too far away. 

 

Klong Plu, which cascades 600 metres over amber sun-soaked cliffs located on the west coast of Koh Chang just 15 minutes from Sea View Koh Chang, is by far the most popular and the one most visited by tourists. 

 

Than Mayom is located on the east coast of the island. As such, it isn’t as busy as Klong Plu. But it is popular mainly because two Thai Kings – Rama V and Rama VI, visited the falls in the past and carved their names onto the rocks.

Koh Chang Mangrove Walk

MANGROVE WALK

If you find yourself with an extra half hour and you have an interest in mangroves you might want to stop by Salak Phet’s mangrove. The mangrove walkway transects a vibrant mangrove forest containing several flowering species of trees, which were flowering and fruiting in profusion.

CRUISE IN STYLE ON KOH CHANG’S GONDOLA

Ban Salak Khok is the old fishing village which is also famous for its eco-tour programs. The community offers a river cruise by using a vintage boat called Rua Mard. It is also known as “Thai-style gondola.” The boat cruise has a paddler who also dons a traditional Thai custom dating back to the period of King Rama V, imitating the time when the king visit Koh Chang more than 100 years ago. 

 

During a one-hour boat ride, you will be able to relax while the boat slowly cruises along the green atmosphere of the community, passing fishing villages and mangrove forest to Salak Khok bay.

 

The club can also offer snacks or a dinner set for two. If you plan for a special occasion or for celebrating with your loved one, the gondola can be decorated with flowers for a romantic cruise, especially during the sunset.

Mountain Hiking

HIKE KAHO LAEM, THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN ON KOH CHANG

Old-growth rainforest blankets mountains topping 700 meters on Koh Chang, making it a great place to do some jungle trekking and mountain hiking as a break from the beach. Koh Chang also has a huge range of trekking route options to give you a great experience, whatever your motivation or fitness level. 

ELEPHANT TREKKING

Koh Chang means elephant (chang) island (koh), but this is because of its shape and size rather than wild herds living in the jungle. Nonetheless, there are elephant camps where you can ride on them, swim with them and feed them and it is a fun way to spend a morning or an afternoon, with children especially well looked after by the mahouts.

Many of the buildings have been turned into restaurants, shops or guesthouses, but there are still plenty of villagers who continue their lifestyle.
