Attraction
Kai Bae Beach, Koh Chang
Kai Bae lies south of Klong Prao on Koh Chang's west coast. It is narrower than the beaches to the north and rockier in places, but it has something they lack: a scatter of small islands just offshore, close enough to kayak to.
Those islets - Koh Man Nai among them - are what make the sunsets here the ones people talk about. Kayaks are hired along the beach and the crossing is short in calm weather.
The village behind has restaurants and shops without the density of White Sand. The beach can almost disappear at high tide in places.
Attraction Points
- Bang Bao Fishing Village, Koh Chang — A stilt village built out over the water at the island's southern tip, and the departure pier for the outer islands.
- Klong Prao Beach, Koh Chang — A long west-coast beach split by two tidal estuaries, quieter than White Sand.
- Lonely Beach (Hat Tha Nam), Koh Chang — The backpacker beach on the south-west coast, cheaper and livelier after dark.
- Than Mayom Waterfall, Koh Chang — A tiered waterfall on the island's east coast, carrying royal initials carved into the rock.
- White Sand Beach (Hat Sai Khao), Koh Chang — Koh Chang's longest and busiest beach, on the island's north-west shore.
