The southern Islands Koh Chang

There are five islands lying of the south coast of Koh Chang. Koh Lao Ya, Koh Lao Klang, Koh Lao Nok are sometimes classified as belonging to the Salakphet Island group, but they lie outside of the bay and are closer to the bigger island of Koh Wai. The fifth and biggest island in the group is Koh Khlum which is situated to the west of Koh Wai and to the south of Ao Bang Bao.

Koh Lao Ya and Koh Lao Klang

Koh Lao Ya and the smaller Koh Lao Klang are two of the most interesting islands in the Mu Koh Chang archipelago, not least because they are linked by a 50-metre wooden footbridge.

The islands are privately owned and are home to a resort which caters mainly to local holidaymakers, which is located on the eastern side of the larger island. Other bungalows offering the resort’s clients more privacy are scattered about both islands.

Koh Lao Ya has one of the best beaches in the whole archipelago, putting it at the top of the must-visit list for private boat owners. Outside of the local holiday season, the resort is very quiet and often sailors can enjoy both islands in almost total privacy with the additional bonus of having food and drinks available at the resort.

Highly recommended for a visit.

Koh Lao Nok

Koh Lao Nok lies to the south of Koh Laoya and Koh Lao Klang and is decidedly less interesting than its neighbours. There are a couple of tiny beaches but they are seldom visited. To the south of Koh Lao Nok are Hin Luk Wai Nai and Hin Luk Wai Nok two rocky outcrops which are occasionally visited by scuba diving boats.
