Ko Chang is a small island off the Northern Andaman Coast in Southern Thailand (not to be confused with the better known Ko Chang in Eastern Thailand). It is commonly referred to as Ko Chang (Ranong) or Ko Chang (Andaman) to distinguish it. Information on this Ko Chang is not easy to find online.

Read in the guideThere are motorbikes for rent on Ko Chang but the island is small enough to traverse on foot. There is even a gas station in the middle of the island. Most resorts are on Ao Yai, which is a long stretch of beach.
