Koh Chang | Scuba Diving / Sports, Activities & Recreation

As one of Thailand's paradise islands, Koh Chang naturally has some spectacular scuba diving opprtunities. Diving around the reefs just off the off-shore islands, the island has welcomed several dive centers in recent years who offer both beginners and advanced divers the chance to discover Koh Chang's beauty - from below!

Other recreational activities include Elephant Jungle Trekking, Kayaking, Fishing and even Thai cooking classes.

SCUBA DIVING

The off-shore islands between Koh Chang and Koh Kood have some superb dive sites. With visibility of up to 30m, this a good spot for divers of all levels.

The island's dive centers offer day trips for qualified divers and beginners can sign up for an Open Water dive course which takes just 4 days.

Once you have your diving license you can then explore such great dive sites as The Thonburi Wreck (an old ship sunk in 1941), as well as the coral reefs around the islands.

FISHING

If you like to take things a little slower, Koh Chang has some great fishing. Around the beach areas are tour operators where you can charter boats or join scheduled fishing trips.

ELEPHANT TREKKING

Great fun! Jump on the back of one of these mighty animals and head of into the unknown! As you head across the rivers you can help bathe the elephants as well and then help them settle when you get back to the camps.
