Koh Chang
Called by some 'the last paradise island in South- East Asia', the Ko Chang Marine National Park has been untouched by modernisation yet is only four hours by road east of Bangkok. Ko Chang lies within the province of Trat which borders Cambodia to the north and east while to the south, the Gulf of Thailand gives the area some outstanding beaches including Had Sai Khao (White Sand Beach).
The area measures 30 km. long by 8 km. wide, making its Thailand's second largest island after Phuket, is the main isle in a 42-island archipelago that forms Mu Ko Chang National Park, established as a nature preserve in 1982
