Ko Chang's Kai Bae Beach has become one of the better areas on the island for those wanting a bit of excitement, nightlife, restaurant options and easy access to tourist services. While not as busy and developed as Haad Sai Khao, Kai Bae is upgrading fast.

Kai Bae's beach is decent, with a range of accommodation from budget huts through to upscale resorts, and the main street is busy with bars, restaurants and shops, while the town itself is divided by a low, narrow bridge. On either side are clumps of mostly unnamed bars in small bamboo huts from which ladies and lady boys will beckon you to come in from the street before charging 100B or more for a beer.

There's rarely a footpath, so pedestrians are forced to share the road with the traffic. The town was built on a platform of red clay that turns very muddy after rain and makes getting to the beach a very sticky experience.

 

During low tide in the morning the water recedes about 50m from the string of bungalows along the shore, revealing a moonscape of moss-covered rocks. This is great if you want to wander out and spot the shallow sea life, but means it's not such a nice place to swim later on. You have to be careful you don't cut your feet or fall face-down on the submerged rocks.

From the northern end of the beach it's possible to walk across to an uninhabited island during low-tide.
