Experience the
Island Koh Sichang
This is our favorite island! Koh Sichang is refreshingly low on tourists, and offers the tranquil relaxing atmosphere of a real Thai community.
Only 2 hours sailing North of Pattaya we find the historical island of Koh Sichang. Her is the summer residence of one of Thailand`s greatest monark H.M. King Chulalongkorn, Rama V. We can also visit the famous Chinese Temple San Chao Phor Khao Yia. The Temple contains cave Chrines and have an unforgetable panoramic view. Don`t forget your camera.
