About Kai Bae Viewpoint
This is the classic Ko Chang postcard view: a clifftop spot right off the west-coast road looking out over the string of islets, including Koh Man Nai and Koh Man Nok. It's one of the best free views on the whole island.
There's a cafe on site with well-placed seating if you want to linger over a drink, but you don't have to buy anything just to take in the view. Late afternoon light is when it really shines.
Easy to fit in, hard to beat for the effort involved.
Highlights
- Classic postcard view over the offshore islets
- Free to take in the view

Tips
- Come late afternoon to sunset for the best light

- The final approach is steep, so take care on a scooter
- Only needs 30-60 minutes, easy to slot into a west-coast day
How to get there
On the main west-coast road just south of Kai Bae Beach, on a steep hill. About 25 min by songthaew from the ferry piers; the final approach is steep so scooters need care.
