Sights and activities on Koh Chang: As Koh Chang is a national park, the entire island is a worthwhile travel destination. The natural beauty, waterfalls, and mangroves are particularly worth seeing. The fishing village of Bang Bao, with its stilt houses (some of which offer homestays) and charming white lighthouse, is also worth a visit.

Sights on Koh Chang: Bang Bao Village My opinion: 5/5 stars Ban Salak Phet and Ban Rong Than in the southwest of the island as well as Bang Bao, which is built entirely of wood and on stilts.

Other places worth seeing in Koh Chang: Koh Kood (or Koh Kut), Koh Chang's neighboring island, is less suitable for a day trip and more ideal for a longer stay. Less touristy and developed than Koh Chang, it particularly appeals to nature lovers and those seeking tranquility. Koh Mak, also a neighboring island of Koh Chang, is a less touristy alternative and perfect for a relaxing short break. Day trips are offered from Koh Chang to Koh Mak, especially to its beaches, as well as to the deer island of Koh Kradat. Among the most famous waterfalls are Khiri Phet, Khlong Phlu, and Than Mayom.
