Ko Chang is an island of Thailand located in the Gulf of Siam and is the largest Thai island after Phuket and the closest to the mainland. Its mountains are entirely covered by dense tropical vegetation that is interrupted only on the beaches of fine white sand. Some of them, such as Hat Sai Khao (in Thai it means "the beach with white sand"), considered the most beautiful beach of the island, are fabulously suitable for bathing thanks to the sea level that descends gradually and the sandy bottom. For those who want to explore the wild interior, Koh Chang will offer exciting and suggestive opportunities. For example, a short but intense trekking route leads to a very interesting series of waterfalls: the closest to Hat Sai Khao is the Khlong Phlu waterfall, while on the opposite side of the island there are the Than Ma Yom waterfalls, distributed in several consecutive jumps, the highest of which can be reached through a rather difficult path suitable for climbers. For those who prefer to avoid the difficult and demanding routes, we suggest renting a mountain bike and exploring around the island, following its entire perimeter. The mountainous relief sometimes creates long and challenging climbs on top of which you can see fantastic views of the sea.
