Koh Chang Island and its neighbors are probably the number one reason why tourists come to visit Trat Province. With beautiful beaches, jungle, waterfalls, mangroves and a fishing village, it is a pleasant island destination in Thailand and not that far from Bangkok.
L'île de Koh Kood est bien moins connue que sa voisine Koh Chang et c'est tant mieux car elle est plus préservée et pas encore trop développée. Mais sa popularité ne cesse de grandir. La bonne nouvelle, c'est que les autorités locales semblent décidées à ce que le développement touristique se fasse en préservant l'environnement au maximum. Espérons que ce soit le cas !
starstarstarstar Much less known than Koh Chang or even Koh Kood, Koh Mak island is often appreciated by people looking for a less touristy and more peaceful island. The resorts, restaurants and others are not numerous but that is precisely what they are looking for! Koh Mak is also on the program of boat tours departing from Koh Chang.
starstarstar Very little developed, Koh Wai island is really not for you if you are looking for comfort and animation! But if you like peaceful atmospheres, in a simple way of life, this is an island that you will probably like. Last time I checked, there were only 4 accommodations in Koh Wai.
