Koh Chang (or Elephant Island) is the third biggest island in Thailand just after Phuket and Koh Samui. Still, until recently it was hardly developed and didn’t seem to get the attention as the other mentioned islands. This had several reasons, the main one being that there was no airport which made it quite hard to access. Now that one is available, it is much easier to get to the island as you have the option of a 1 hour flight instead of a 5 hours bus ride coming from Bangkok. Since then, the island has changed to the better. There are better accommodations, more restaurants and entertainment but Koh Chang has still kept its secluded untouched ambiance that makes it so attractive. There are still many parts on this big island that are left untouched. Some selected and good Koh Chang Hotel deals are listed below:
