 Koh
Chang Information
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 drive
from 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 is close
to the border of Cambodia. Around 85 percent of Koh Chang,
along with 50 smaller islands, is part of the Koh 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 has undergone a huge change.
Back then, only the simplest accommodation was offered. But
now, Koh Chang is a boom town where the range has extended
from economically priced bungalows to luxury resorts. To maintain
the landscape of Koh 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 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.
