The northern part is a long strip of powdery sand, while the southern part is more pebbles, bits of dead corals and rough brown sand. Casuarinas and palm trees line the beach while forested hills lurk in the background. During low tide, the beachfront becomes much wider and consequently attracts lots of beachgoers. It is the busiest area of Koh Chang with the main road lined with numerous accommodations, restaurants, bars, shops, internet cafe, convenient stores, banks, and other commercial establishments. The beach is a hub of many activities, such as taking a stroll while watching the sunset and various sports activities. The beach, which is easily accessible from the main road, slopes gently into the sea. However, the currents can be strong during the green season (May-October) so extra caution is advised.

provide transport on the island. Much of the commercial establishments in the area are those that will fill the everyday need of the locals such as the Post Office, a print shop and the Telephone Organization of Thailand’s to name a few.

The Chaichet Cape is sometimes considered by some locals as the Northern part of Klong Prao Beach. The area has a small cape with a rocky curve that rounds into a secluded bay, thus very peaceful. The bay has a wide sandy beach that slopes gently into the sea which makes it an ideal spot for onshore fishing, and sunset watching. The fishing pier at Chaichet Cape is a perfect viewpoint of the Klong Prao Bay.
