The short answer
Klong Kloi Beach: what visitors should know first
Yes, if you want to avoid the crowds and are happy with a simple set-up. Klong Kloi is far from the main strip, so services are limited and you will rely on a songthaew or your hotel for most things.

Why it matters
Why Klong Kloi Beach is worth your time
Klong Kloi shows how much of Koh Chang remains undeveloped. Unlike White Sand Beach, it has only a few businesses and a more local feel.
It is a good match for travellers who prefer quiet and are willing to trade convenience for space. Visiting it also spreads visitors beyond the most crowded stretches of the west coast, which is kinder to the island. Pair it with Bang Bao so the journey feels worthwhile.

How to experience it
Klong Kloi sits on the south coast, east of Bang Bao. It was deserted until about 2006 and now has beach bars, restaurants and accommodation, according to Wikivoyage. Come for a quiet lunch by the sea and a short beach walk.
A Commons photo shows lunch served on the sand. Because the beach is quiet, there is little shade and few services, so carry water and sun cover. Songthaews are less frequent than on the main beaches, so arrange a return ride before you settle in. Pair the visit with a stop at Bang Bao pier if you are driving round the south coast.
