The entire park officially encompasses 192
km
2 of land surface and 458 km
2 of sea.
Ko Chang itself is about 70 % undisturbed island
rainforest.
The 30 km long, 8-13 km wide and 744 m high
island is located on the border to Cambodia. The jungle seams wild
and the mountains are often covered in clouds, this is the best
living space for wild pigs, monkeys and snakes.
When you go
to the coastline you will find small villages, the inhabitants are
living from fishing and cultivation of coconut and rubber trees.
These islands are an ideal place for romantic people.
Beautiful beaches are waiting for your footprints to be the
only ones in the white sand. There it is ideal to relax, swim and
snorkel in the clear waters.
In the evenings you can make a
campfire and barbeque the fish and seafood bought fresh from the
fishing boats (in case you were not lucky enough to catch one).
It is possible to make trips with the dinghy into small
rivers through mangrove swamp or visit small fishing villages for
shopping and sight - seeing.
On Ko Chang, there is an exotic
waterfall to explore which can be reached only after a walk through
the beautiful rainforest on a small path. A cool swim in the pool at
the waterfall will be refreshing, before you continue the trip on a
steep path to the top of the fall.
For divers, the Ko Chang
Archipelago offers plenty of opportunities from wreck diving (a 100
m battleship in just 12 m depth) to coral reefs as well as a shot
down airplane from the Second World War.
