Besides a relaxed beach vacation Koh Chang has various
leisure offers for active holidaymakers, e.g. snorkelling,
diving or mountain-biking. In many locations, there are
snooker tables, volleyball fields and table tennis tables.
Many resorts rent kayaks and arrange jungle treks as well
as all day boat tours to the surrounding islands.
Scooters can be rented in most places, which makes the
island easier to explore independently, however the driver
should have some two-wheeler experience. The road becomes
partly very steep and curvy south of Kai Bae Beach, which
means untrained drivers can come into difficulties quite
easily. Unfortunately taxi-drivers only pay a small amount
of attention to motorbikes, therefore when renting a scooter
you should ensure that both the brakes and the horn are
in working order. In all villages, piers and at the hospital
speed should be reduced because there are sleeping-policemen
on the road, even during the day it is difficult to see
them as they are not signposted.
If you want to explore the island in a more environmentally-friendly
way you can walk around Koh Chang within 3 - 5 days on
the road or by more or less comfortable ways. For the
less ambitious, there are small paths all over which lead
to short or long walks.
At almost all beaches, masseurs and masseuses offer Thai
massages for between 200-250 Baht. In all Beach-Villages,
you'll find small Massage-Shops directly on the road.
In Baan Khlong Prao you can
attend courses in traditional Thai massage. There are
also some Tattoo parlours on the island, whose standard
is allegedly very good.
There are 2 Elephant-Camps on Koh Chang, which offer elephant-trekking
into the jungle.
Additionally Koh Chang offers many other attractions including
waterfalls, temples, the national park administration
and museum or the beautiful viewpoints, which are all
worth a visit (see 'Sights').
Divers find fascinating diving areas off the shores of
Ko Chang and the surrounding islands. Besides the many
coral reefs, sunk warships can be visited in the Salak
Phet Bay (see 'Sights', 'Sea-battle-wrecks').
There are diving schools at all of the 4 largest beaches
on the west coast, where tours can be booked or various
diving licences can be obtained.
Sailing-tours can also be booked in many resorts and travel
agencies.
As you see, Koh Chang offers enough possibilities for
you to enjoy the most beautiful time of your year. |
