White Sand Beach Koh Chang Island, Thailand

White Sand beach or Had Sai Khao as it is called by the locals, is some 2kilometers in length and although it probably the most developed area of Koh Chang it is still offers a magnificent backdrop of jungle clad mountains, fine powdery white beach sand and spectacular sunsets. It is the most popular place to stay on the Island and offers the most diverse ranging from simple shacks to 5 star luxury units. White Sand Beach is with a doubt the tourist center of the island, a wide variety of restaurants, shopping plaza, mini-markets, Internet café’s, banks and ATM’s which take all sorts of bank and credit cards.

Early mornings and late afternoons are great times to catch up on some exercise, with a gentle stroll at sunset being a favorite activity. For the more energetic visitors jogging along the water edge is an idea, and when the tide recedes during the afternoon the beach offers large flat sandy banks to kick a ball around, or chuck a Frisbee.

The most visually stunning part of the beach is in front of White Beach Resort where the rooms are quite basic but the view out of this world. Holiday makers who prefer more luxurious accommodation are recommended to try Chang Buri Resort and Spa where there’s a wide range of sleeping options from beachside luxury villas to the comfortable hillside hotel.

After dark many resorts plot tables on the beach and stoke up the barbecues to cook their wonderful fresh seafood. It’s a memorable way to spend an evening, sitting under starry skies whilst feasting on the catch of the day; it’s also extremely kind friendly as well.
