Koh Chang Beaches, Thailand

A stretch of long white sandy beach dotted with coconut tree orchards is a common sight on Koh Chang the largest and busiest island in Trat and the second largest island in the country after Phuket.

Most of the scenic Koh Chang beaches and bays are on the west side spreading from the north to the south they include Khlong Son Bay, Sai Khao Beach, Khlong Phrao Beach and Kai Bae Beach. A road cuts through the western shore almost reaching Hat Kai Bae where there is a nature trail passing through Bai Lan Bay and Kruat Bay and meandering through wet forestland to Ban Bang Bao, a fishing community on the foot of the hill in the south.

To the east are Sapparot Bay, where a ferry landing is situated and Salak Khok Bay. In addition, along the eastern shoreline is a road cutting through to Salak Phet Bay, a community with a boat pier to the south of the island. Coral ranges worth visiting are at Khlong Son Bay near Koh Chang Noi and around islands south of Koh Chang.
