Koh Chang is located in Trat which
is Thailand’s eastern-most province, about 315 km from Bangkok. This small province
borders on Cambodia with the Khao Banthat mountain range forming a natural
demarcation. With 52 large and small offshore islands, long white sandy beaches and
unspoiled coral reefs, Trat offers delightful scenery and a tranquil hideout for
nature-lovers. The province also serves as a major fruit-growing and fishing area.
