The location of Ko Chang is the eastern part of Thailand. It is close to the Cambodian border. Phuket and Ko Samui are the only islands larger than Ko Chang. It is covered with trees and has a number of mountains as well. The beaches range from sandy to rocky, so pick your resort accordingly.
The island carries the name Ko Chang that translates to Elephant Island. There are elephants that live on the island, but they are not native. The island was named Elephant Island because it is in the shape of an elephant.
A drive around the island will most likely yield a variety of animals. They could range for monkeys, deer, elephant, mongoose, and a variety of birds. The island offers a much to see and wildlife is just a small part of the sights to see.
Ko Chang is a mountainous island and is famous for its waterfalls, tropical rain forests and abundant coral reefs and marine wildlife. Along with hotels, resorts, sandy beaches and rocky beaches, there are nine small villages on the island, mostly located on the west side. This side of the island is quiet and is a nice drive to get away from the resorts and tourist.
Visitors arrive at the island by ferries from, a small port town just southwest of Trat on the Thai mainland. It is a beautiful ferry ride that last about 20 minutes and you can have a snack or just enjoy the view. After arriving on the island, visitors can travel by taxi or by renting motorbikes. Boarding and departing the ferry is quick and easy.
The waterfalls are an attraction you don't what to miss, on the island. Klong Plu is the best known of the falls and offers a chance to cool off, with a nice pond for swimming. The best time to go is morning, because it's usually cooler. It is about a 20 minute walk to the falls. This gives you a chance to take-in the wildlife and fauna along the way. If you are feeling really adventurous you can climb the rocks and jump into the pool, not recommended but it was fun.
Some of the things to do and see on Ko Chang include. Cycle tours which are the best way to get some exercise while studying about the local culture. Ship tours to local islands are offered by long-tail boats or speed boats. Elephant treks by arrangement with travel agents found on the island. Underwater diving allows you to explore the totally clear waters round the island, with tons of exotic fishes.
If it is raining be sure to use caution on the roads, for they can be very daunting. The only real road goes from one end to the other. The only problem is it ends and you have to turn around. The road follows the ocean for the most part and is very beautiful.
I would be sure to book a room early, because it can get very busy at certain times on Ko Chang. The beauty of the island is one of a kind and I would go back in a heart beat. If you can try and book a resort on the ocean with a nice sandy beach for swimming.
