The island offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure with activities such as snorkeling, diving, and jungle trekking. Visitors can also explore the local fishing villages and waterfalls. The island has a vibrant nightlife scene with beach bars and restaurants offering delicious seafood dishes.
When to visit
The best time to visit Ko Chang is during the dry season from November to April when the weather is sunny and dry. The island experiences heavy rainfall during the monsoon season from May to October, which can affect outdoor activities.

Traveller tips
Make sure to pack sunscreen and insect repellent as the island can get hot and humid. Respect the local culture and customs, especially when visiting temples. Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water, especially during outdoor activities. Be cautious when swimming in the sea and follow safety guidelines. Bargain at local markets and shops for souvenirs to get the best deals. Try the local street food for an authentic culinary experience.
