Haad Sai Yao - all beaches

The island is absolutely stunning for snorkeling.

This stunning and small island is located in the southeast of Koh Chang. To get there, you can either rent a kayak or use an engine boat service. It only takes about 30 minutes of paddling with a kayak to reach the beautiful beaches. Since the island is a National Park, you will need to purchase a ticket. The ranger will collect the payment once you arrive at the beach. The fee is 40 baht for Thai nationals and 200 baht for foreigners. There is a narrow strip of land that separates the two beaches on the island. The beach on the south side is equipped with a floating pontoon. It's a wonderful journey through nature, with crystal clear waters just a short distance away from Koh Chang.

We visited this beach two weeks ago and stayed for five nights. The beach is vibrant, bustling, and absolutely incredible! It boasts the best restaurant on the entire island, and the prices are quite reasonable. We will definitely miss this stunning place.

Wai Chaek Beach is undoubtedly the most breathtaking and stunning beach on Koh Chang. It can be effortlessly located on Google Maps, but reaching it can be quite challenging as the only way to access it is by traversing a rough, unpaved road. I highly suggest using a 4x4 or a sturdy motorbike as the road can be steep and treacherous in certain areas, making it unsuitable for inexperienced riders. It's also essential to carry adequate supplies such as water, food, and other necessities as there are no shops, restaurants, or restrooms in the vicinity. Despite these challenges, the beach's unparalleled beauty makes it a must-visit destination.
