Reports and Articles on Koh Chang Island:
The East Coast

Driving along the eastern coast of Koh Chang Island reveals one source the islanders make a living on: fruit, coconut and rubber plantations occupy the narrow stretch between the rocky coast and the foot of the mountains. Every village has a small pier, where fishing boats are waiting to go out to catch the abundant marine life. At Than Mayom the headquarters of Koh Chang National Park are located and a narrow road leads from there to Than Mayom Waterfall, a picturesque waterfall, descending into a series of deep pools through a water-polished rock gorge.

Further south, the muddy coast is dominated by mangrove forests and finally, Salak Phet Bay is reached, the second bay that forms Koh Chang's southern coastline. The sheltered bay makes an ideal fishing harbour and this is what most villagers make a living on. Rong Than Village is the biggest community on the Koh Chang Island with a temple and a monastery forming the religious centre of this area.
