This is my first post and i'm gonna tell you about Thailand Island which is known as "The Jewel of the East" Koh Chang.

The Magnificant Thailand Island is not only situated in southern region but also in the eastern region and "Koh Chang" is one of the best Island in the east. As i've been there for 3 times, i found that Koh Chang is very easy to get there and quite comfortable by using ferry service. Thus, i need only weekend holiday to get to beatiful seaside of Koh Chang.

In fact, there're many great beaches with different sytles at Koh Chang but my favorite beach is "Kai Bae Beach" due to its very beautiful colored sea and white sandy beach which make me fascinated. I've been to Kai Bae for 2 times and i think i'm gonna be there again. Spending you weekend at Kai Bae beach Koh Chang is very good idea for anyone who like privacy beach.

Koh Chang is one of the district in Trat Province which situated in the east of Thailand as the nearest point between Trat Province and the island is only 8 km from the Laem Ngob Cape.

Nowadays, Koh Chang has been developed into new haven for tourist as its beautiful landscape is second to none and it is very easy to get there (just 4 hours from Bangkok) as compare to legendary Thailand Island Phuket.

You may hire Motorbikes, jeeps and cars in order to take you to any beaches and it is great idea to drive along the coastal roads as you may experience the beautiful seaside and white sand of this outstanding Thailand Island.
