Most visitors go to Koh Chang for the white
sandy beaches and inviting ocean and are completely unaware of
the huge jungle hiding in the islands interior. Koh Chang is
Thailand’s third largest island after Phuket and Koh Samui, 80
percent of the island is covered in a tropical rain forest which
is relatively unexplored by both tourists and locals. Hidden in
the islands interior is another world, full of ancient tree’s,
snakes, spiders, hidden waterfalls and dramatic coastal
viewpoints.

Jungle
Trekking Koh Chang

Pickup time is around 6:45AM
Drop-off time is around 10:15AM
You
asked for it - now you have it. A decent trail has now been marked to
allow you to cross the island from coast to coast in one day. It's a
long day though; you'll be away for around 11 hours, with at least 8 of
those hours being on the move on foot.
Starting close to Klong Plu waterfall on the west coast of the
island, you'll pass that and ascend further to around 500 meters above
sea level. You'll then follow the course of the Than Mayom stream
hopefully seeing loads of wildlife including the odd cobra. Hard work it
is, but there should be plenty of opportunity to stop and relax in the
cooling water of the Than Mayom river. Stunning views to be had also.
The trek finishes at the Than Mayom waterfall on the East coast of the
island, from where the taxi will return you to your resort by around
6pm.
The group size is limited to about 6 people, so you'll be well taken
care of by the experienced guide. You'll be picked up by taxi at around
7:30am, you'll be provided with mosquito repellent, drinking water, and
lunch, and the national park entry fee is also included in the price of
1,500 Baht. Good quality, waterproof, walking shoes are recommended.
Expect to encounter some harsh, prickly, vegetation. Not recommended for
children under the age of 15, and you should be used to walking in rough
terrains.
Koh Chang
Elephant Trekking
Price 1,000 THB per person
Koh Chang Elephant Trekking
What To Expect: The word Chang means elephant in Thai, so what could be
more appropriate than going elephant trekking on Koh Chang, which
translates as Elephant Island
You will be guided onto a
platform and then you will step into the cushioned seat which is
securely strapped onto the back of the elephant. 2 adults can be safely
and comfortably seated here. Your mahout (elephant keeper) will lead the
elephant through the jungle pathways. Sometimes he will be sitting upon
the neck of the elephant. At other times he may be walking ahead of the
elephant. This will give you a chance to sit on the neck of the
elephant, should you wish to do so. You can give your camera to the
mahout and he will be only too pleased to take photographs for you. You
will observe how the elephants enjoy this trek because they will have
access to food from the abundant foliage along the pathways. If you take
the 2 hour trek, you will see how much the elephants enjoy taking a bath
in the cool waters on the second trek. You will enjoy that as much as
the animals do! |
