Brief information about Ko Chang
Koh Chang National Park, commonly known as Koh Chang Island, is located in the Laem Ngop district of Trat province, which is in the eastern border region of Thailand. Koh Chang is considered the largest island in the Gulf of Thailand and the second-largest island in Thailand after Phuket. It covers a total area of 268,125 acres and consists of more than 52 large and small islands arranged in a shape resembling a walking elephant, hence its nickname “Elephant Island.” The terrain of Koh Chang is characterized by high mountains, complex rock cliffs, and the highest peak, Khao Salak Phet. Moreover, the island boasts dense forests and numerous waterfalls, thanks to its predominantly mountainous and forested landscape.

Best time to visit Ko Chang
Travelers can visit Koh Chang throughout the year, but the peak tourist season here typically falls during Thailand’s summer, which spans from March to May. However, even during this period, the weather on the island remains relatively mild due to its predominantly humid rainforest terrain with high mountains. Koh Chang is also a source of several streams and waterfalls located on the island. The flat areas near the hillsides are used for growing rubber trees and various fruits by the local residents, including pineapple, watermelon, and durian. There are eight villages on the island: Salak Phet, Salak Khok, Jek Bae, Ban Dan Mai, Khlong Son, Khlong Phrao, Khlong Nonsi, and Ban Bang Bao. These villages have government offices, police stations, hospitals, and serve as the location for the Koh Chang National Park office. Additionally, some parts of the island offer accommodations, restaurants, and various entertainment venues for tourists to enjoy during their visit.
