More than 70% of the mountainous islands are still covered by virgin tropical forests, and there are many sandy beaches, including the vital trinity of a tropical island - white sand, palm trees and blue water temperate - where you can escape from your everyday life and leave your worries on the continent. Koh Chang is the perfect destination for nature lovers.
