This is the most favorite place of tourists who come to the southern islands of Thailand. You can say Bang Bao is the starting point for further excursions.
It was built in honor of a monk who loved to wander. It is his spirit that is considered the benefactor of Koh Chang. In Thai, the name of the temple translates to "great father". The locals believe that this is a holy place. They are confident that it will help them to create a real miracle.
Every local knows about this place. It was here near Salak Pat Bay that the battle between the naval forces of France and Thailand took place.
This is the most visited waterfall in Mu Ko Chang National Park. Not only tourists come to it, but also the Thais themselves. It is located near the beaches of Klong Prao and White Sand. In addition, the park itself is quite compact. You can walk around it in just 10-15 minutes. It is best to walk along the forest path.
To see the waterfall, you need to go to the southern part of Koh Chang. From Salak Pet should walk or drive a few kilometers, and you will find yourself near the waterfall. Its height is about five meters. The size of the waterfall depends on the season. During heavy rains, it seems to be large, you can say, two-level. In hot weather, the waterfall becomes smaller.
It is also located near Salak Pet Bay, which is a neighbor of Kiri Pet Waterfall. It takes about 3.5 kilometers to get from one to the other. Klong Nung Waterfall is considered to be the highest waterfall on the island.
You can come here to relax or swim. The water is very refreshing after a long walk. If you want to climb to the top, you need to climb up a large boulder. From the top you can watch the water fall.
Previously, the island of Koh Chang was not very popular among tourists. At Ban Salak Pet Village, you can learn more about the time when it was mostly inhabited by locals. It is located in the southeastern part of the island.
The park occupies almost the entire center of the island. The area is protected, but there are no strict controls. To see some of the park's waterfalls, you need to buy a ticket. The main building of the park is located in the eastern part of the island.
It is forbidden to sunbathe in the nude on the territory. Moreover, these rules also apply to the beaches of Ko Chang, Ko Kut, Ko Mak and Ko Wai.

These trees are perfect habitats for birds and crustacean species. Moreover, mango is one of the most popular exotic fruits in Thailand. It is sold at almost every corner.
Now Ao Salak Kok is an ideal place for ecotourism on the island, even one of the best. Also, the local Thais are good at protecting the environment.
The local beach is an arc-shaped strip of sand. It is located between mountain capes. At low tide, various creatures of the underwater world can be found on the shore. They are simply thrown ashore and become unprotected by the receding water.
There are several luxury resorts near the beach. Mostly tourists relax by the pool rather than on the beach. At high tide, most of the shore simply floods.
This complex consists of three waterfalls. They are located by the Klong Mayom River. To get closer to the waterfalls, you have to pass through the main building of the park. It is located next to Nam Tha Tan Mayom.
