Koh Chang Guide
The best things to do
on Koh Chang
Days without agendas, still full of wonder. Everything worth exploring on Thailand's most beautifully unhurried island.
Koh Chang moves at its own pace — and that's exactly the point. Whether you're a first-timer or returning for your third visit, the island has a way of revealing something new each time you look up from your hammock.
Things to do
Explore, unwind, repeat
From jungle waterfalls to coral reefs, long-tail boat rides to lazy beach walks, here are our favourite ways to spend your days — all easily reached from SAGA.
🌊 Klong Prao Beach
Just 50 metres from SAGA's front door, Klong Prao is one of the island's most beautiful stretches of sand — wide, quiet, and shaded by casuarina trees. Watch the sunrise with a coffee in hand, or catch the golden-hour glow in the evening.
✦ Perfect for: morning walks & sunset drinks🌿 Klong Plu Waterfall
Head into the jungle interior and follow the trail to Klong Plu — a stunning multi-tiered waterfall tucked inside Mu Ko Chang National Park. The natural pool at its base is ideal for a cool swim away from the beach crowds.
✦ Best time: morning, before tour groups arrive🐠 Snorkelling & diving
The waters around Koh Chang and its neighbouring islands — Koh Wai, Koh Rang, Koh Kood — are home to vibrant coral reefs and plenty of marine life. Day trips by speedboat or long-tail can be arranged easily from the beach.
✦ Don't miss: Koh Rang for the best coral visibility🚥 Kayaking the mangroves
Paddle quietly through the mangrove channels at the southern end of Klong Prao and you'll feel a world away from everything. Keep an eye out for kingfishers, monitor lizards, and the occasional river otter.
✦ Rent kayaks just minutes from SAGA🍜 Eat your way around the island
From roadside papaya salad stalls to candlelit seafood restaurants right on the sand, Koh Chang's food scene is a genuine highlight. Try the fresh whole fish grilled with lemongrass, or the local crab curries the island is quietly famous for.
✦ Ask us for our current favourites at check-in🥁 Slow mornings at SAGA
Not everything needs to be an expedition. Some of the best moments on Koh Chang happen right here — a long breakfast, an afternoon by the pool, and the particular quiet of a tropical afternoon that somehow makes everything feel lighter.
✦ Our wellness space is yours to explore"The island has a way of convincing you that whatever you were rushing towards can wait."
