Do online research regarding which Bay is the right one for you.
Also : Both islands have beautiful secluded bays. You can do both Islands on a $22 return ticket. You just pay 5$ to cross from one Island to the next.
These Island and are a total break from the Chaotic mess of the Mainland.

I have always had a soft spot for Koh Chang and the bottom of the island Bang Boa, here if you pass the Pier on your right and run to the bays, when I had been over the years, most businesses were Khmer run.

There are a lot of Khmer staff on Koh Chang. I used to drive that way to pattaya and most of the petrol station attendants were also Khmer

In terms of unspoilt vibes: Ko Rongz better than Samui by miles. And according to online reports Ko Chang has had its day.

Of course if you want full on commercial then head to Thailand. But if u want Thailand 20 years ago head to Rongz.
