Koh Chang is Thailand's
second largest island, and the biggest in Eastern Thailand.
With about 5000 permanent residents the island is not
heavily populated, but tourism (and development) has increased
dramatically over the last few years. |

Ko Chang is one of Thailand's most beautiful
islands with long white sandy beaches, most half deserted.
The island is also home to a wide range of wildlife, including
a good selection of birds, snakes, deer and a number of
elephants. The island and its vicinity are great places
for snorkeling, diving and jungle hiking. The "discovery"
of the island as a tourist destination since 2000 has
brought on a large amount of rapid development, and while
still far quieter than places like Phuket or Ko Samui,
it's probably better to go now than later. |
