Best Things To Do In Koh Chang
Primarily, the main attractions on the island were only the beaches and it’s neighboring islands. Once, it was just a quiet island for most of the backpackers where there was nothing much you could do here. Now, Koh Chang has grown in popularity as a tourist destination since 2000.
Scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, swimming with elephants, islands hopping, jungle trekking & visiting waterfalls are among the best things to do in Koh Chang. Upon arrival, most of the tourists tend to rent a motorbike at the pier to get around the island. Small motorbikes can be rented for 150-300 baht per day.
7 Best Things To Do In Koh Chang
There are so many waterfalls on Koh Chang Island, some of them are deep inside the jungle & rather difficult to reach. Below are the a few waterfalls that I highly recommend:
1) Klong Plu – the most popular waterfall (with entrance fee & keep your ticket).
2) Than Mayom – Show your Klong Plu ticket for free entrance (subject to change).
3) Klong Nonsi – one of the best waterfalls with no admission fee.
4) Klong Nueng – the tallest & the most breathtaking waterfall on the island.
5) Khiri Petch – medium size waterfall & easy to access.
6) Kai Bae – suitable for jungle trekking people as you need to walk for some distance.
7) Klong Jao Leuam – quite similar to Kai Bae where you need to walk about 4km.
