Koh Chang Holidays
Often referred to as the 'last paradise on earth', Koh Chang holidays feel a world apart from the rest of Thailand.
As the second largest island in Thailand's archipelago, this pure, palm-fringed Eden is known for its long stretches of deserted, white sand beaches, sparkling coves, pristine rain forests and colourful coral reefs. Amid all this stunning natural beauty you can learn how to scuba dive, snorkel, or hike the dirt trails that meander through the jungle forests, before visiting some of the seven waterfalls to cool off in. Also be sure to visit Bang Bao, a quaint fishing village with unique buildings suspended over water on stilts. Bang Bao is the centre of all diving activities on the island of Koh Chang and if you follow the pier all the way to the end you'll find numerous boats waiting to take you to spectacular dive sites or on trips around the surrounding islands.
If you're after some historical culture, head to Chiang Mai before or after your Koh Chang visit, or combine beach life with city life with a trip to Bangkok, just a few hours away by car.
