Koh Chang, also known as Elephant Island, is Thailand's third-largest island, boasting over 70 percent covered in rainforest and various wildlife. It is part of Mu Ko Chang National Park, including 51 other islands known for pristine beaches and coral reefs. Accessible only by a 30-minute ferry, Koh Chang offers a respite from the overtourism seen on Phuket and Koh Samui. Prices are generally more reasonable for luxury properties, making it an attractive destination with splendid beaches, viewpoints, and seafood.
Koh Chang, meaning "Elephant Island" in Thai because of its resemblance to the mammal from above, is Thailand's third-largest island after Phuket and Koh Samui.
It's a trek that overall results in fewer tourists, a welcome respite from the crowds that are spreading across Thailand, especially following the premiere of the third season of The White Lotus.
Koh Chang offers a unique blend of relatively built-out tourist offerings without the crowds and impact of overtourism seen on other major islands like Phuket and Koh Samui.
Home to incredible stretches of white-sand beaches, jaw-dropping viewpoints, and great seafood, here's why Koh Chang may just be one of Thailand's most underrated islands.
