Ko Chang is located on the Gulf of Thailand's eastern seaboard, 310 km from Bangkok and near the border with Cambodia. It is Thailand’s third largest island, after Phuket and Ko Samui, and the largest island in the Mu Ko Chang National Park archipelago.

The name means Elephant Island, and comes from the elephant shape of its headland. Despite the presence of elephants on the island, they are not indigenous to the island. The island is known for several waterfalls, thriving coral reefs and rain forests.
