Attraction
Klong Prao Beach, Koh Chang
Klong Prao is the beach south of White Sand and is considerably quieter, a long stretch of sand broken into sections by two tidal creeks that run out into the sea.
Those estuaries are part of its character: at low tide sandbanks appear and you can walk a long way out; at high tide the creeks fill and small boats work them. The resorts here are spread out rather than concentrated in a strip.
Klong Plu waterfall, the island's best known, is inland from the middle of the beach. The same monsoon caution applies as along the whole west coast.
