Koh Chang - Six Things to Experience in Paradise

Koh Chang is one of Thailand’s most underrated islands - a mountainous, jungle-covered island in the eastern Gulf of Thailand that you can actually reach from Bangkok by car and ferry. Unlike more developed or crowded islands, Koh Chang still feels spacious, green, and deeply connected to nature and traditional coastal life.In this episode, I share six of the very best experiences on Koh Chang — from snorkeling in a protected marine park to sunset viewpoints, rainforest waterfalls, fishing-pier villages, reggae cliff bars, and authentic Thai seafood restaurants over the sea.If you’re looking for a Thailand island that still feels adventurous and a little bit off-the-radar, Koh Chang may be exactly what you’re searching for.What you’ll discover in this episode:Snorkeling and island-hopping in Koh Rang National Marine ParkSunset views from the famous Kai Bae ViewpointExploring Bang Bao fishing pier villageSwimming at Klong Plu Waterfall in the rainforest interiorSunset drinks at the cliffside reggae bar Rasta ViewAuthentic Thai seafood dining in Bang Bao villageAuthentic Thai restaurants mentioned:Ruan Thai Seafood — Bang Bao Pier, southwest Koh ChangBang Bao Seafood — Bang Bao Pier, southwest Koh ChangBarracuda Restaurant & Bar — Kai Bae village, west coast Koh ChangThe Whitening — beachfront near White Sand Beach, west coast Koh ChangIf you’d like help planning your own Koh Chang itinerary — including where to stay, how to get there, snorkeling trips, and authentic local experiences — email me at...
