Ko Chang

Ko Chang is a small island off the Northern Andaman Coast in Southern Thailand (not to be confused with the better known Ko Chang in Eastern Thailand).

Ko Chang (Southern Thailand) Halal Travel Guide

Ko Chang (Andaman Sea) is small, nice island close to Ranong in the southwest of Thailand. The island is off the Northern Andaman Coast. Compared with the better known islands of Thailand, (Phuket and Ko Samui), this one is very quiet and special due to its beautiful dark sandy beaches, interesting nature (birds), and rocks. The water is not clear and the sand is not white, but the place is so special that it does not matter. There are some quiet resorts on the island, most of them basic. It is a great place for a couple or just for people who appreciate a quiet and amazing place away from more developed places.

Travel to Ko Chang (Southern Thailand)

You can only get to Ko Chang by using a taxi boat, which leave daily at several times at the Island Pier in Ranong. Boats leave during the high season at 09:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 15:30. Boats back to Ranong leave at 08:00 and 14:00. The cost of the long tail boat from Ranong to Ko Chang is 330 Baht (as of February 2023).

Happy Air flies into Ranong Airport (IATA Flight Code: UNN) from both Bangkok (IATA Flight Code: BKK) and Phuket (IATA Flight Code: HKT) with Bangkok flights daily.

From Ranong buses come and go regularly to Bangkok, Chumphon, Phuket (via Khao Lak), and Surat Thani.

How to get around in Ko Chang (Southern Thailand)

There are no motorbikes for rent on Ko Chang and the only way to get around is by walking or by boat. This is actually what makes the island so peaceful and special. Most resorts are on Ao Yai, which is a long stretch of beach. This, during high season, which runs from November-April, is the main walking thoroughfare. There are several newer concrete roads leading inland and also lots of dirt tracks for those who are more adventurous. On some weekdays there is a taxi boat leaving to and returning from Ko Phayam.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Ko Chang (Southern Thailand)

At low tide it is easier to walk to the other resorts/bungalow establishments along the beach.

Each of the resorts does have their own restaurants. Some of them have free Wifi, ask!

The very small village is quite a walk from "Sawasdee", past the Buddhist Temple and tsunami warning tower on the coast, and then inland where there is tsunami shelter. Most basic necessities can be purchased in the village shop and Internet cafe.

Ko Chang Resort offers trips to the busier Ko Phayam for 300 Baht return.

If you like hiking you can walk around the island in one long day, or better yet, split in two days. At the south end you can go to Ranger beach (where there is a ranger station for the national park) and can cross a stretch of jungle through an easy to follow path to the east side of the island. Half way through you can detour to a viewpoint, but only attempt this if you have proper shoes as the short detour is very steep and slippery. On the north part you will pass through a village of sea gypsies (Moken or Morgan people).
