Discover Koh
Chang Hotels & Resorts
Ko Chang feels a world
apart from most of Thailand’s islands. There are no megaphone
announcements for Thai boxing (even though some of the country’s best
fighters hail from Ranong Province), no streets designed entirely for
farāng. No, Ko Chang isn’t selling knock-off Ray-Bans and Playstation
games. Its marketing scheme focuses squarely on seducing buyers with an
older, slower version of Thailand. Electricity is sporadic, and
tourists few and far between.
Pass the time exploring the island’s tiny village capital (where boats
dock during the dry season) or wind your way around the island on one
of the dirt trails. Sea eagles, Andaman kites and hornbills all nest
here and, if you’re lucky, you’ll catch sight of them floating above
the mangroves. Keen sunbathers can lie out on one of the island’s
reasonable west coast beaches. |
