“It is called Koh Chang because its shape looks like a relaxing sleeping elephant. The island is covered by the Rain Forest and there are a few paths crossing it.”

Koh Chang , is the largest island in Ranong on the Andaman Coast. Do not confused with the much larger island of Koh Chang in Trat province on easthern coast ofThailand.

This one is very quiet and special due to its beautiful dark sandy beaches, interesting nature (birds), and rocks. The water is not clear and the sand is not white, but the place is so special that it does not matter. There are some nice and quiet resorts on the island, most of them basic.
