Beach
WHITE SAND BEACH (Had Sai Khao)
As the name implies, this is a long beach of powdery white
sand. The beach slopes gently into the sea and is very wide
during low tide attracting hordes of visitors, especially in
the evening, when it transforms into a playground. Regular
football and volleyball games are played as the sun sets
right off its shore. At night the Koh Chang Lagoon Resort,
Best Garden Resort, Ban Pu Koh Chang and some other resorts
serve dinner alfresco with sumptuous barbecue on the beach.
There are many bungalow resorts of reasonable prices here.
The main road runs pass all the resorts, shops, restaurants,
pubs and coconut groves.
BANG BAO BEACH
The beach at Bang Bao has clear waters with rocks and corals
off its shores. A good place to fish, snorkel and swim.
Getting to Bang Bao is a challenging task as the road from
Kai Bae is steep and winding.
KLONG PRAO BEACH and Laem Chaiyachet
This is another long sandy beach. At the northernmost part
of the beach is the rocky Laem Chaiyachet or Chaiyachet Cape
which is an ideal site to watch the magnificent sunset or
the sunrise above the southern hills of Bang Bao. Laem
Chaiyachet is a favourite on-shore fishing ground. A fishing
pier is erected near the cape which is also a great
viewpoint for the whole of Klong Prao Bay. In the late
afternoon villages can be seen walking on the shallow seabed
scooping up tiny shrimps called “Khei” which is the main
ingredient for shrimp paste. Air-conditioned and fanned
bungalows are available. The Royal Coconut Resort has both
bungalows and hotel-style accommodation. The latest addition
is the Boutique Resort & Health Spa which offers
well-appointed bungalows with spa, massage and beauty
services.
KAI BAE BEACH
This is a beach of scenic beauty where you can see the
sunset and a few islands, some so close and tempting you
feel like taking a canoe across. Of special interest may be
the Koh Man Nai which is very near the Sea View Resort.
During the low tide Koh Man Nai reveals it picturesque beach
and you can walk to the island at chest-deep water level.
Boats, canoes, sea-kayaks and dive shops are ready for your
exploration. Although serviced by more than 10 bungalow
resorts and the more leisurely Sea View Resort,
accommodation can be hard to get.
THAN MAYOM BEACH
Located east of Koh Chang, this is a beach of rock and mud.
It is the location of the Marine National Park Office, close
to the Than Mayom Waterfall. The Than Mayom Resort is the
only resort here.
KLONG SON BEACH and Khor Khao Khard Bay
Situated northwest of Koh Chang, this is the first beach as
you disembark and head west of the island. Had Klong Son is
a wide beach with plenty of coconut trees. The Premwadi
Resort has a pier suitable for fishing and a powdery beach
safe for swimming. Klong Son now boasts of the newly open
5-star Aiyapura Resort & Spa. This is a luxury resort
with all the 5-star amenities and facilities set in a
natural environment
