If you want to take a break from the beach, a wide range of activities await you both off shore and inland.

If there’s one thing guests will take back with them it’s the memory of Thai cuisine. Nowadays it’s easy enough to recreate a lot of your favourite dishes at home, since most ingredients can be easily obtained or substituted. Aiyapura offers cooking classes in the resort. Classes take a few hours and will teach you classic Thai dishes that will impress your friends. Students usually learn the art of fruit and vegetable carving as well. You will have the opportunity to cook dishes yourself, and then dine with fellow students after class.

The Klong Son Elephant Camp or Ban Kwan Chang operates half-day tours from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The cost is 900 Baht inclusive of transportation to and from the resort, drinking water and bananas and coconuts to feed the elephants. A 40-minute ride costs 500 Baht. Ban Kwan Chang Elephant Camp was set up to give retired show and logging elephants a safe and comfortable sanctuary. Ban Kwan Chang is supported by the Asian Elephant Foundation. See video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUUIY_jN9FI

The best diving season is between October/November and April. The best sites are on the west and southern tip of the island, between Koh Chang (Ko Chang) and Koh Kood (Ko Kut). There you can see soft corals, anemones, myriad reef fish, and sometimes eel. Hin Luk Bat and Hin Lap both have coral seamounts. Further south, white-tip reef sharks can be found near Hin Phrai Nam.

In addition, there are two wreck dive sites. The Koh Chang (Ko Chang) Wreck is a Thai warship sunk by the French navy in 1941. The wreck is only 15 metres deep in the Salakphet Bay on the southern tip of the island. The other wreck is the Pak One Wreck which sank after hitting a coral reef in August 1996 on its way to Vietnam. It resurfaced almost 8 years later. The 900-ton sunken tanker posed a danger to ships on international waters. The Royal Thai Navy drained off its 600 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas and resank it between Koh Chang and Koh Samet. It now lies horizontally in 35-metre-deep waters.

There are a few diving centres on Koh Chang (Ko Chang) such as the Ploy Scuba Diving in Bang Bao. They provide free transfer to and from the resort. Language barrier is no problem to the centre since they provide instructions in different languages. Following the standards of the sister centre in Koh Samet, this is the premier diving operator in Eastern Thailand.

The Resort has its own large wooden pleasure boat and various speed boats moored at its own private pier. Aiyapura offers a range of unmissable daily boat trips for island hopping, snorkeling and fishing around nearby coral islands with our own expert guide. 

For a relaxing trip along the coastlines, try paddling canoes. Canoes can be found along the beaches and some resorts.

During the cooler months on Koh Chang, you can rent a boat to slowly cruise along the waters at night to see fireflies in the mangroves. Thousands of fireflies send out mating signals as they settle into the mangrove forest, lighting up the whole tree with their simultaneous flashing in the dark. It's like rows of Christmas trees. We can provide information on where to go.

Koh Chang is famous for its waterfalls and mangrove swamps. Guests can see waterfalls in the National Park, or take a relaxing punt in the mangroves at Salak Kok, followed by a seafood lunch in a floating fishing village.

Aiyapura has a new Muay Thai (Thai Kick Boxing) training arena, and the Thai National Team has already made use of the fantastic facilities for a training retreat. We can arrange basic training programmes for individuals or groups at reasonable rates.

The outdoor children playground caters for families is aspires to develop a child's physical, social and cognitive development through deriving learning concepts as they play which should be cultivated and nurtured throughout the childhood. FUN FOR ALL !!

Team building /Walk rally by Aiyapura Resort & Spa
How important is team work?
Team building refers to a wide range of activities, usually in a business context, for improving team performance. Team building is pursued via a variety of practices, and can range from simple bonding exercises to complex simulations and multi-day team building retreats designed to develop a team (including group assessment and group-dynamic games), usually falling somewhere in between. It generally sits within the theory and practice of organizational development, but can also be applied to sports teams, school groups, and other contexts. Team building is not to be confused with "team recreation" that consists of activities for teams that are strictly recreational. Teambuilding is an important factor in any environment, its focus is to specialize in bringing out the best in a team to ensure self development, positive communication, leadership skills and the ability to work closely together as a team to problem solve.
