Koh Chang

Ko Chang is the second largest island in the Ko Chang Marine Park archipelago, situated on the east coast of Thailand 310 km away from Bangkok near the border to Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand.

The name Koh Chang means ‘Elephant Island’ which derives from the geographical shape of the island. This is a mountainous island and Khao Salak Phet is the highest peak of all at 744 metres.
