There are a lot of great snorkelling spots around Koh Chang. There are different companies which offer day tours. The tours usually include mask & snorkel (no fins though), lunch, fruits and drinks.
The price is somewhere between 600-800 THB and includes pick-up from your accommodation.

Kai Bae is another popular place to stay for tourists. There's plenty of accommodation of all kinds and of course lots of restaurants and shops.

The beach is small, but with fine sand and great for swimming.

Klong Prao Beach is a long and white crescent shaped beach white sand. It's not great for swimming as the water there is quite shallow, but perfect for beachcombing and walking.

There are a couple of large resorts there as well as shopping centre with supermarket, bank and internet café.

Khlong Phu Waterfalls
Lyneke profile photo
Lyneke 178 reviews

We went there to enjoy the beautifull sight. Its good for just an hour or two, not much more. To get there you need to walk for about 20 minutes through the forest, which is already a very beautifull walk on itself. Once at the waterfall, you need to do some acrobatic moves, since you have to cross the water to get on the right site of the waterfall.

Oh and ... Don't forget to bring your swimmingsuit!

Entrance is about 200 bath.
No food and drinks allowed.

the Bang Bao Village

Commercial little village that has lost a lot of his charme because of the tourisme. You only find touristic shops here (a dissapointment); restaurants where you - probably - can eat very good fishfood, and book some diving/sightseeing excursions. No need to stay more than 1 hour since ther's really not much to sea. Ok, one positive thing: i thought a village of wooden huts in the water was nice to see & smth different.

Si estas en Ko Chan no puedes dejar de visitar el pueblo de pecadores que esta en el sur de la isla .
A parte de que es un pueblo muy tipico, tiene unos restaurantes donde se come un pescado y un marisco sensacional

If you are in Ko Chan you must visit the fishermen village, that is on the South of the island
Besides that is a very typical village , it has restaurants where you may eat very good fish and seafood

Catarata-Klong Plu-Waterfall

Siguiendo el rio por unos caminos que van en una zona de mucha vegetacion se llega a la zona de la catarata despues de 20 minutos de caminar. Aqui puedes estar tranquilamente o te puedes incluso banar en el rio

Following the river in a path that goes in an area with a dense vegetation you reach the waterfall, after 20 minutes walking. Here you may stay peacefully or you may take a swim in the river

Sunset at the beach

Not only the sunrise, but also the sunsets were breathtaking at the beach. The sky was colouring bright orange at the moment the sun disappeared after the peninsula. While sitting at the beach and enjoying the views and atmosphere, especially at the last evening, I felt melancholy because it would be also my last evening in Thailand.....

I stayed at the beach till dark with my own feelings and thoughts. We had also our dinner at the beach. After dinner I stayed at the beach again for hours, forgetting the time, while enjoying the sea and the sky full of stars..... feeling happy and sad at the same time.

To Ban Bang Bao by boat

reaching the fishing village by boat
4 more images

The day after we visited Ban Bang Bao by feet we could make a revisit with our boat. It was a nice boatride in the Bang Bao bay with nice views at the surrounding mountains, beaches with palmtrees, the peninsula and the fishing village at stilts. This time all the fishing boats wer back from the sea.

The Thai woman from the restaurant in the harbour in Trat joined us and offered us a sweet cocos snack from the village.

It was quite a difference to be in the tiny village with the two of us like yesterday or with seven people this time. We walked also to the land to have a look at a coconut farm where monkeys were trained to pick up the coconuts. We all got a coconut for drink.

Penisula west of Ban Bang Bao

From the fishing village Bang Bao we walked further into the direction of the peninsula at the south-west side of the village. We reached a narrow stripe of land with view at the Bang Bao bay (Ao Bang Bao) at one side and at the ocean at the other side.

The coast at the oceanside was steep and rocky. We tried to go into the sea, but hurted easily our feet and legs at the sharp rocks with shells. So we looked for shade and a piece of beach at the innerside looking out at the Bang Bao bay and the fishing village. After some rest and a swim we started our walk back to the campement.

I found out that nowadays there must be a resort at this unspoilt place we visited in the 80s. It is called the Nirvana Resort.
