Mu Koh Chang National Park
Where Rainforest and Sea Create the Wild Beauty of Thailand’s Eastern Islands
When people think of Koh Chang, white-sand beaches, clear tropical water, and peaceful days by the sea often come to mind. Yet the true character of the island lies much deeper. Much of Koh Chang and its surrounding archipelago forms part of Mu Koh Chang National Park, a remarkable protected landscape where tropical rainforest, mountains, waterfalls, mangroves, coral reefs, and more than 50 islands share the same natural world. Few island destinations in Thailand offer such diversity within one journey—you can begin the morning beneath an ancient rainforest canopy and end the afternoon snorkeling above colorful coral reefs in the open sea.
Koh Chang is also home to one of Thailand’s significant remaining island rainforests. Its mountainous interior captures moisture from seasonal monsoon winds, feeding streams and waterfalls such as Khlong Phlu and Than Mayom, while supporting a rich ecosystem of tropical plants, birds, wildlife, mangroves, and marine life. Protected as a national park since 1982, this extraordinary environment has shaped many of Koh Chang’s most rewarding experiences: forest walks, waterfall visits, kayaking through quiet mangrove waterways, snorkeling and diving, and boat journeys among the smaller islands scattered across the eastern Gulf of Thailand.
To understand Koh Chang is therefore to see the island as more than a collection of beautiful beaches. A morning at Khlong Phlu Waterfall, a quiet paddle through the mangroves of Salak Khok, or a snorkeling journey around Koh Rang are all connected by the same living ecosystem. This relationship between mountain, rainforest, freshwater, mangrove, and sea is what gives Koh Chang its distinctive identity—and why Mu Koh Chang National Park remains one of the most valuable natural landscapes in Eastern Thailand, a place best experienced not by rushing through it, but by taking the time to understand the nature that created it.
