We created the #ThailandInsider Series to give you a different perspective, a true insider perspective in the Land of Smiles. Join us as we take you on a journey to see a side of Thailand that you may not have discovered before. Island life isn’t just about beaches. Koh Chang is home to some of the clearest blue waters and best snorkeling spots, but did you know you can also explore the canals of Koh Chang by gondola? And get close to nature with cute wild deer on nearby islands?

In this Episode:

Salak Kok Fisherman Village: Views don’t get much nicer than those over Salak Kok Bay in the southeast of Koh Chang. If you are bored with beaches try a try a sunset over the quiet mangrove lined, mountain backed bay instead.
Koh Chang National Marine Park: Mu Koh Chang National Park is 650 square kilometers, consisting of 52 islands lining up from Laem Ngop district, Mueang district, to Khlong Yai district. Apart from the most important island– KohChang, the other islands like Koh Klum, Koh Lao Ya Nai, Koh Ngam, Koh Mai Si Yai, Koh Wai, and Koh Rang still remain their natural beauty.
Koh Rang Archipelago: The Koh Rang islands consists of a group of 12 islands to the south of Koh Chang and the west of Koh Mak.
Koh Kradat: Slightly on the northeast of Mak Island, Kradat Island got the name from its abundance of alocasia or kradad, a type of plant. This island is also known for its long white sandy beach, beautiful coral reefs, and lots of cute little deer and wildlife hopping about.
