For a Ko Chang beach with restaurants and shops nearby, try White Sand Beach, called Hat Sai Khao in Thai. Accommodation and shops cluster around the white sand on the island’s northwest coast. Friends and families can relax by the sea, step out for a meal and spend a slow day between beach and village.

After arriving on Ko Chang, follow the roads towards the northwest coast. The Thai name is Hat Sai Khao.

Klong Prao Beach

Walk beside palms on Klong Prao’s broad sandy coast, south of White Sand on Ko Chang’s west side. It suits couples or families staying nearby who want a day with time for a sea view and a relaxed walk together. Leave room simply to rest beside the water.

Plan the journey after choosing your beach

For mainland beaches, choose your actual drop-off and the route to the shore. For islands and beaches reached by boat, arrange the arrival pier and return journey too. Include the town or island name in searches, as different places can share a beach name.

Do not swim while a red flag is flying.

Do not swim while red flags are flying. Read the marine forecast before leaving and follow local swimming instructions after arrival. Waves and weather may delay or cancel boat trips, so ask about bad-weather conditions when booking.
