The best snorkeling on Ko Chang is not right off the shore, but on neighboring islands, where organized tours go. There are also a couple of spots for independent snorkeling.

Organized snorkeling tours:

  • Where: Tours most often go to the islands Koh Wai, Koh Rang, Koh Lao Ya or around the small islands of the archipelago. The water is clearer there, and the underwater world is richer.
  • How much does it cost: The price of a one-day boat tour with several snorkeling stops, including transfer, equipment, and lunch, starts from 800 baht per person.
  • Where to buy: Such tours are sold at any street travel agency on the island or at hotels. Prices and programs are very similar everywhere.

Independent snorkeling (free if you have your own mask):

If you don't want to go on a tour, you can swim near the shore. The best spots for this on Ko Chang itself are:

  1. The bay under Bang Bao Cliff (on the map). A rocky bay in the south of the island with good underwater life.
  2. The rocky beach in the Kai Mook area (on the map). You need to swim along the rocky shore. Check for updates, as construction might have started nearby.

For diving: If you're interested in scuba diving, tour prices start from 3000 baht. The main dive centers are concentrated at the pier in Bang Bao village (e.g., BB Divers, Ploy Scuba).

Tip: If you have your own diver certification, you can save significantly by going for a dive not through a tour, but directly through a dive center in Bang Bao.
