Being in the "elephant island" (meaning of "Koh Chang") can be a good opportunity to meet those big mammals called elephants.
There are 6 different elephant camps in Koh Chang proposing different kind of treks. It's going from an hour with a small ride thought the forest up to few hours in the jungle with a bath with the elephants into the river and lots of souvenir pictures.
Cherry on the cake, at the end of the ride you can feed the elephants.
The biggest camp is located in the north of the island. The others, smaller, are mainly in Klong Prao and one in Kai Bae:

You can go by yourself but some of them are quite difficult to find. Taking a taxi can be a good solution but may end to a different camp depending how the driver understood you and which commission he gets from the camp.
The best is to book a trip straight from your resort or any travelling agency, they will come to pick you up and you will be sure to arrive to the right destination.
