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.
