Situated 300 km from beautiful downtown bangkok and close to the Cambodian coast line is Koh Chang. The island is simple and easy to get to when flights with Bangkok Airways fly twice daily from Bangkok to Trat and then a short ferry journey to Koh Chang. It is the second largest island and gets its name ‘Chang’ from the thai word meaning elephant due to the elephant shape of its headline. The island was first discovered as a tourist destination in the year 2000 and has been developing since however it is still far quieter than places like Phuket and Koh Samui.

Loy Krathong is probably the most visually evocative of all Festivals held in the Kingdom of Thailand.
It would take a very mean spirited individual not to be moved by the sight of a November full moon with thousands of candles and incense sticks flickering and burning on floating Krathongs.
The Hindu origins of Loy Krathong date back centuries to the Sukhothai period of Thai history where it commemorated both the ending of the rainy season and the all important rice harvest.
In the ancient kingdom of Sukhothai some 700 years ago in the royal court there was a lady with great artistic skills named Narng Noppamas.
