Introducing Ko Si Chang
If you’re looking for the archetypes of Thai island life – sweeping sandy beaches, coconut groves – you won’t find them on this sliver of green in the big blue Ao Krung Thep (Bight of Bangkok). On Ko Si Chang you’ll have to settle for a fishing village atmosphere; gentle hills studded with Chinese and Thai temples; and beachfront reminders of a stately royal palace. Enrich your mind through meditation in the limestone caves of the Tham Yai Phrik Vipassana Monastery and exercise your body by paddling a kayak to nearby Bat Island, where there’s good snorkelling.

On weekdays you’ll have this gentle footfall on the Thai tourist trail all to yourself, but things liven up at the weekend when Bangkok holidaymakers arrive.
