Koh Chang 


Now this is an island! National park - mostly rainforest full of teak trees. A couple of unemployed elephants hanging around that you can ride. Near the border with Cambodia. Wasn't developed at all a few years ago, but the new airport at nearby Trat had changed all that - there are banks and even a 7-11 now. Right down on the south-east corner of the island is a little isolated beach with a funky bunch of restaurants and cheap cheap bungalows built on a long pier over the water.
