Koh Chang is a well known island located in the southern region of Thailand, and the beaches there are crystal clear, and that, anyone who’s been there including myself can guarantee you. This one beach that I particularly like is the Bang Bao Beach, which is on the southernmost tip of the west coast of the Koh Chang island. Keep in mind that the west coast is the most beautiful part of the island, so I’m pretty sure this is the place to be (as many have said that).
The Bang bao beach has a well sheltered bay with a small and quiet beach, and most of the people living in the area are part of a fishing community. What’s really neat is how these locals still live in houses built on stilts and are connected by wooden bridges, which is very typical.
What’s really common for people who go there is scuba diving because of the clear water in the area, so there are many scuba shops around. Also, on the southern tip of the island, its’a perfect spot for snorkeling and diving by taking boats and going around close-by islands.
For restaurants, seafood restaurants are everywhere and really abundant with choices, since this region does a lot of fishing, you’ll find good fishes for good prices. There are cheap seafood restaurants, as well as up-scale restaurants on the bay area s well. There’s really so much to choose from so try going to the http://www.tourismthailand.org/7wonders/ website and look up Koh Chang and Bang Bao Beach on there to get a better picture.
Have fun!
