ABOUT KOH CHANG

With white sand beaches, waterfalls, coral reefs and an archipelago of more than 50 islands, un-crowded Koh Chang is a real tropical paradise. Thailand’s second largest island. Mangroves and beach forest line the shores, and the whole island supports a huge diversity of wildlife.

Stretching down the eastern coast are countless idyllic islands and escapist small beach resorts. The most glimmering of the jewels is Koh Chang. White sand, turquoise waters and an exquisite setting for a perfect tropical vacation.

Koh Chang - a paradise it is. A place for recreation in a tropical setting, with peace in mind, to recharge the energies of life. But this paradise is easy to reach. Koh Chang is only 330 km east of Bangkok, or 4 hours by road/40 minutes by air - plus 30 minutes by ferry.

Not well known, Koh Chang is actually the second largest island of Thailand, behind Koh Phuket. Despite its size and the close distance from Bangkok, Koh Chang is least known, undeveloped, untouched and forgotten for decades.

Koh Chang Marine National Park is a secret yet to be explored. Nearly 75% of the Marine Park is protected by law, under the jurisdiction of the Forestry Department of Thailand. This explains how it remains a virgin wonderland protected from divesting development.

The locals as well as visiting guests are pleased the way it is. A paradise for those who appreciate nature as its basics more than the sophisticated over-developed modernity as we find it in Phuket.

The coastlines of Koh Chang archipelago is a spectacular work of natures art and there are beautiful beaches, coves and bays around the islands. Colorful coral reefs, clear blue sea and warm waters. On the islands we find fertile rainforests, un-trekked jungles, high peaks, breathtaking waterfalls and fascinating wildlife. All waiting to be discovered.
