Highlights

Koh Chang

The island Koh Chang occupies most of the Koh Chang district's land area, along with several smaller islands. With an area of 210 km2, Koh Chang is the third-largest island in Thailand by area, after Phuket and Ko Samui. The name Koh Chang means 'Elephant Island' and derives from its elephant-shaped headland. Despite the presence of elephants on the island, they are not indigenous. At present, there are eight villages on the island. Koh Chang is part of an archipelago of 52 islands. It is approximately 30 km long by 14 km, wide. It is part of the Mu Ko Chang National Park, which covers an area of 650 km2, of which 70 percent is offshore.

Mount Salak Phet

Mount Salak Phet is the highest mount in Koh Chang. Its high is 744 meters.
