Koh Chang – Koh Chang Islands

Koh Chang is the largest of these islands, boasting superb beaches, seven waterfalls, two mountains and a huge rainforest interior.

Its well developed, vibrant tourist scene offers accommodation across the board – everything from deluxe hotels to boutique resorts and traveller bungalows.

And when you need a change from relaxing by the pool or ocean, you can enjoy a whole host of activities –  diving and snorkeling, jungle treks, elephant camps, cooking schools, kayaking to the offshore islands, massage and spas.

There’s plenty of excellent restaurants too, Thai and western as well as more than enough nightlife to keep you busy.

With Koh Chang also so easy to reach from Bangkok, it’s not hard to see why it has become one of the most popular Thai islands over the last decade.

Koh Kood – Koh Chang Islands

Located at the far southern end of the archipelago, Koh Kood is slightly smaller than Koh Chang.

It’s home to some seriously fabulous long beaches on the west coast, mangroves, a hilly jungle interior and several waterfalls. Its east side, meanwhile, is wild and untamed except for two authentic fishing villages and a little known navy base.

With no car ferries to speed things along, Koh Kood’s development has been very measured so maintaining its standing as one of Thailand’s best kept secrets. 

Accommodation, from luxury (plenty of that) to traveller (far less), is spread out across the island with each beach generally having just a couple of places to stay but not much else besides. Prices here are  more expensive here than its neighbours.

You’ll find restaurants up by the road in certain areas and  the fishing villages have a few seafood choices. Yes, there is a bit of nightlife but it’s very laid back –  you certainly won’t be dancing till dawn. As for things to do, you can head to the waterfalls or snorkel and dive on the local reefs. A day on the boat over at Koh Rang is easily organised too.

Though popular with Thai weekenders, Koh Kood is a tranquil away from it all island. You come here primarily to relax at your resort, read, swim, watch the sunsets … in fact to do as little as possible, just perfect for couples who  want a romantic getaway.  Families do visit in considerable numbers too, often combining a few days of R&R here before or after the more frantic pace of Koh Chang

How to Get to

Jump in here to find out the different ways of getting to Laem Sok Pier for Koh Kood

Private transfers are your easiest option at 3,800bt for an SUV car from BKK Suvarnabhumi Airport, and 4,000bt from central Bangkok, door to door and collections timed for whatever boat you choose (see below).

You can also fly to Trat Airport with the PG305 landing at 13.40 (winter timetable from 28/10/24 till around 30/3/25) so you connect to 15.00 Boonsiri (no refund if you miss it) or much less stressful,  the 16.00 Seudamgo or the new Koh Kut Express speedboat, same time. The afternoon flight, PG307, does not make any boat connections. The summer timetable starts from 31/3/25 to 26/10/25, with the PG305 switching to a 12.40 landing  and boats changing in line with this.

Alternatively, the boat companies offer combined bus and boat tickets from around the Khao San area in Bangkok – Boonsiri, 05.00 and 08.00 (via Koh Mak), 1,100bt per person.

Seudamgo’s own service is the same price at 05.00 or 07.00, 1,100bt and from Koh Kut Express has options at 05.00 for their speedboat at 11.30 or at 07.00 for their slow boat at 13.30, both 1,100bt  Public services (bus and microbus) also run from Ekamai or Morchit to Trat. 

Koh Kood has passenger boats only, no car ferries – different companies running express, catamaran, mini catamaran and speedboat, times from 10.00 to 16.00, returns 09.00 to 14.00, daily, 400bt to 600bt. Full timetables given.

Also a breakdown on island hopping possibilities but note there is a much reduced service during rainy season, June to September. Also useful information on moving about the island once there.

Note: Timetables for the bus/boat combo, boats between Koh Kood and Laem Sok Pier and the inter-island boats (Kood to Mak to Chang, both directions) will change during the rainy season (1/5/25 to 30/9/25) as a result of reduced services.

And if you are going to or coming from Cambodia, we can help with your all travel arrangements – leave Siem Reap and arrive on Koh Kood on the same day.

We start by rounding up the best places to stay on Koh Kood, with At A Glance categories including luxury and boutique, 3 to 4 star resorts, bungalows and traveller options. Alongside them, there’s snippet information for each and every beach so you can see which resort is where.

Beaches

The Koh Kood beaches, which are exclusively on the west coast, are arguabaly the best throughout all the Koh Chang Islands.

Start with Klong Chao, the central beach, home to luxury resorts and cheaper bungalows, a waterfall and even some nightlife – sunset here is everything you hope for on a Thai island. Bang Bao too is a fabulous bay of white sand and shallow blue waters. Or there’s the more untamed Ao Takian and the simply beautiful long stretch at Ao Phrao down in the far south west.

With the old pier at one end, Ao Tapao Beach is another lovely 2km stretch, with a handful of 3 star resorts, whilst up in the north, you can find hidden spots here and there opposite the offshore islands.

Ao Yai and Ao Salad, the two authentic fishing villages, are located on the east coast.

Our at a glance guides on the main page or our in-depth tours on the individual beach pages take you round the island.

Koh Mak – Koh Chang Islands

In term of size, Koh Mak ranks third among the Koh Chang islands.

It’s a wonderfully laid back, unassuming place where life ticks along quite happily in the slow lane. Up until now and there’s no reason this will change, development has been modest and restrained.

The island’s topography is surprisingly flat, so there are no waterfalls or untouched forest interiors as in Koh Chang and Koh Kood. This, in turn, makes Koh Mak easy to explore by bicycle, motorbike or even walking.

It boasts too a couple of wonderful long sweeping beaches, where the accommodation is centred, though the wilder coasts too have some great places to stay. Wherever it is, that acommodation is primarily in small boutique resorts or cheaper bungalows and backpackers huts. It’s not an island for chain hotels or such like.

You’ll find a decent selection of restaurants but given Koh Mak tends to attract couples and families rather than groups, nightlife is ultra lowkey. That said, it does play host to two clubbing festivals, one at New Year and one at the end of March.

Meanwhile, the Marine Park of Koh Rang, with its excellent snorkeling and diving, is on its doorstep so trips can be done in a 1/2 day. You can also kayak to its 5 offshore islands with very little effort.

How to Get to

Start here for the full rundown on getting to and from Laem Ngop Pier, the main departure point for Koh Mak.

Private transfers are the easiest way to travel from Bangkok or the Airports, with prices from 3,800bt for an SUV car or 4,500bt for a minibus, excluding the boat tickets.

There’s also the 999 bus from Ekamai at 07.45 to the Koh Chang pier down the road followed by a quick 15 minute songthaew taxi to Laem Ngop.

From 1/10/24 to 31/5/25 and leaving from the Khao San area, Boonsiri’s timetable is at 05.00, 06.00 (via Had Lek) and 08.00. Seudamgo also has a bus service at 05.00 linking to its boat at 12.00 but that is closed from 1/6/25 to 30/9/25. Or you can use  the public bus or microbus, also from Ekamai (or Morchit) to Saen Tung Junction or Trat.

We bring you the daily speedboat timetables between Laem Ngop and Koh Mak – 10.00, 10.30,  11.30, 12.30,  13.15, 14.00 and 16.00, with returns at 08.00, 08.30, 09.00, 10.00, 10.45, 11.30 and 13.30 daily, all at 550bt per person, 1 hour.

Note too all the options now in high season (1/10/24 to 31/5/25) from Laem Sok Pier – 11.30, 12.00, 15.00 and 16.00, returns at 09.45, 10.00, 13.00, 14.30 and 14.40 – 500bt to 550bt per person.

Note timetables may be cut back during the rainy season (June to September) – always check the main boats page.

Head here too for all the island hopping information if coming from Koh Chang or Koh Kood. Only Boonsiri’s catamaran operates in the low season (May to September), all details here.

You can also fly to Trat Airport from BKK Suvarnabhumi with the PG305 landing at 13.40 (winter timetable 28/10/24 to 30/3/25).  It is too tight for the 14.00 Leelawadee boat so use the 16.00 Panan instead.

And you can travel between Koh Mak and Cambodia – Siem Reap to/from Laem Ngop Pier in one day.

Where to Stay

Koh Mak has around 50 places to stay – just a handful at the top end combining with boutique affairs and a couple of small hotels. It does have some larger 3 star resorts but they, like the island, are nicely very low key. At the cheaper end of the scale, you’ll also find plenty of of standard bungalows and backpacker options too.

In our Koh Mak accommodation section, we list our recommendations in all the budget categories before taking you round the island, area by area so you can get a handle on their location.

There’s guide prices too and the chance to head over to our affiliates to make that booking.

Weather – Koh Chang Islands

Your detailed guide to the climate and seasons in the Koh Chang Islands is here.

Koh Wai Guide

The smallest of the holiday islands, Koh Wai is about 30 minutes south of Koh Chang. 

It has just 4 places to stay on its north coast – either basic traveller style beach huts or slightly grander bungalows. This coast is also home to the beaches, with the best strands outside Paradise or beyond Grand Mar Huts.  Offshore, you can snorkel over a very respectable reef, but at certain times of day, the tours arrive en masse to do the same.  

Koh Wai has no shops or roads nor any electricity. Power comes via generators, which means the 3 cheaper sets of huts turn it off during the night. Using mobile data, internet coverage is good but don’t expect in-house WiFi .

To get there, you can island hop from its bigger neighbours by wooden boat, speedboat or take a day trip. You can also travel from the mainland on the 11.30 daily Koh Waii Paradise speedboat at 450bt, return to the mainland at 09.30, same price. Kids over 120cm are at adult price, under 120cm 300bt and aged 1 to 3 150bt.

Head over our guide for all the details.
