WELCOME TO KO CHANG (Elephant Island)
Rural folks are always enticed by the bright lights of a big city. In the same way that nature, and all things related, works its magic for urban people. Bangkok is on a location which can be near to various places known for their natural riches. This opens a vast opportunity for its huge population to spend more time amongst nature. Some are reachable within 2-hour drivefrom the city, making them more familiar and thus, monotonous to the frequent visitor. But then, there are plenty of other places farther ahead that are often overlooked, waiting to be discovered…

Located in the eastern part of Thailand, Koh Chang (Ko Chang) is close to the border of Cambodia. Around 85 percent of Koh Chang (Ko Chang), along with 50 smaller islands, is part of the Koh Chang (Ko Chang) Marine National Park. Clear waters of various blue shades surround the island while a terrain of high peaks and steep cliffs provide magnificent scenic points.

In a matter of years, Koh Chang (Ko Chang) has undergone a huge change. Back then, only the simplest accommodation was offered. But now, Koh Chang (Ko Chang) is a boom town where the range has extended from economically priced bungalows to luxury resorts. To maintain the landscape of Koh Chang (Ko Chang) as unspoiled possible, a law has been enforced to limit the height of buildings on the island at 3 storeys. Water treatment system is required for new construction projects whereas island residents are discouraged for cutting down trees.

In 2003, Koh Chang (Ko Chang) was able to get a special status that meant less bureaucratic management while the government would finance infrastructure like waste water treatment facilities, garbage treatment sites and piers. While it is a place that faces more rapid growth, the community tries its best to maintain an ecologically sound environment.
