Ko Chang District

Trat Province, Thailand

---

Ko Chang District, located in Trat Province near the border with Cambodia, is a tropical island district in eastern Thailand known for its beautiful beaches, rainforest-covered mountains, waterfalls, and clear coastal waters. The district is centered on Ko Chang (Elephant Island), Thailand’s third-largest island, and includes many smaller islands in the surrounding archipelago. Much of the area is protected within Mu Ko Chang National Park, a marine national park that encompasses dozens of islands, coral reefs, and rich wildlife habitats. Visitors can enjoy activities such as snorkeling, diving, kayaking, hiking, and exploring waterfalls and secluded beaches. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and relatively unspoiled natural environment, Ko Chang District offers a quieter alternative to some of Thailand’s busier island destinations while still providing excellent resorts, outdoor adventures, and stunning tropical scenery.
