    Koh Chang is one of Thailand’s most underrated islands - a mountainous, jungle-covered island in the eastern Gulf of Thailand that you can actually reach from Bangkok by car and ferry. Unlike more developed or crowded islands, Koh Chang still feels spacious, green, and deeply connected to nature and traditional coastal life. In this episode, I share six of the very best experiences on Koh Chang — from snorkeling in a protected marine park to sunset viewpoints, rainforest waterfalls, fishing-pier villages, reggae cliff bars, and authentic Thai seafood restaurants over the sea. If you’re looking for a Thailand island that still feels adventurous and a little bit off-the-radar, Koh Chang may be exactly what you’re searching for.
