Koh Chang Island in RAINY SEASON - Thailand Travel Vlog - Beach, Fishermans Village, Mangrove Forest

In this Thailand Travel Vlog we head to Koh Chang - an island in the east of Thailand close to the border of Cambodia! Koh Chang is the third largest island in Thailand (behind Phuket and Koh Samui), but it is much less developed than the other two. Over 50% of the island is covered in jungle!
We started our trip taking a bus from Bangkok to Trat where we stayed overnight. We were able to get up early and take a songthaew from Trat to the ferry. We ended up being on the WETTEST FERRY EVER!!! It was crazy! Once we arrived in Koh Chang we were able to take another Songthaew to our cheap beach bungalow. Luckily it only rained on and off so we were still able to explore lots of the island! We saw the Fisherman's Village - Ban Bang Bao - at the very south of the island. We then went up to Lonely Beach which is a popular place for backpackers. After stopping at the Kai Bae Viewpoint we finished the night watching the sunset on the beach next to our bungalow!
The next day we went to the east side of Koh Chang. We really wanted to do a boat tour at Salak Kok.....however that didn't work out. Let us know if you've ever taken a boat there though because it looked SO cool! We did have fun exploring Red Bridge down in the Mangrove Forest! We were so lucky to be able to see the mangrove forest in the sunshine too!
There is so much more to do on Koh Chang, such as exploring the many waterfalls, however we didn't have time (or the right weather) to do everything we wanted. Hopefully we'll be back soon!
