STAND FOR THE PADDLE BOARD
It’s not just peaceful relaxation on the beach
that defines the island destination of Koh
Chang. Get off the sand and consider stand up
paddleboarding, or SUP. The fun and exciting
sport offers an adrenaline rush while on the
water. Unlike traditional surfing, an SUP rider
stands on a board, using a paddle to manoeuvre
through the water. This novel way to explore
the ocean and nature is an alternative and
adventurous fun and big waves aren’t needed
for paddling. You can go to any open water and
enjoy the ride on an SUP and experience the
beautiful waters of the island, get closer to
nature while keeping yourself fit at the same time.
