Koh Chang
Koh Chang (or Elephant Island as it is known) is the largest among the 52 islands of Trat and is also the nation’s second largest island, after Phuket. Covering an area of 429 sq. kms., it features fine beaches, coral reefs and plentiful marine life. It is also rich in natural resources, teeming with hills, forests, waterfalls and streams, the latter being an important source of freshwater. Dotting the island are many fruit orchards.
The area attracts both individual travellers and families from around the world. Activities of every sort are plentiful, from swimming and relaxing on the beach to scuba diving and nature trips into the rainforest. Travel to nearby islands is easy and accessible, with many water transport options.

June sees the beginning of the South West Monsoon, and brings with it the rainy season, which continues intermittently until the end of October. From November to the end of February the climate is much less trying with a cooling north east breeze and a reduction in the humidity level.
