Koh
Chang Thailand is a Leisure Island least known to foreigners,
the largest among the 52 islands of Trat, is also the nation�s second largest
island, after Phuket. Koh Chang (Ko
Chang) has always been a favorite get-away for Thai people. Its hinterland
consists of over 70% virgin rainforest and is the best preserved but little
known tourist destination in Thailand. Situated to the east of the country in
the province of Trat on the Cambodian border, it�s Thailand�s second largest
island after Phuket.
Koh Chang offers activities for
beach lovers and mountain trekkers alike. Its pristine white sand beaches are
perfect for swimming, sun-bathing, or snorkeling in clear blue waters. Watching
the beautiful sunsets after a day filled with satisfying activities remains one
of the favourite pastimes. Land activities, from elephant trekking to hiking
through the mountains and rainforest with several waterfalls, form a great
complement to the beach
