Ko Si Chang makes for an interesting and relaxing daytrip from Bangkok or Pattaya. The island is located quite close to Bangkok in Chonburi province. It can be reached by ferry for Si Racha (Chonburi province). Reaching Si Racha will take about one and a half hour, while the boat trip to Ko Si Chang lasts 45 minutes.
Ko Si Chang is located close to the Eastern Seaboard, an area located between Si Racha and Pattaya, consisting of industrial estates and the Laem Chabang Deap Sea Port. As a result you will notice an impressive number of barges and ships when taking the boat trip to Ko Si Chang. A lot of loading and unloading apparently is being done outside of the port. Once arrived at Ko Si Chang, the ships and barges are visible, but somehow do not influence the quiet environment on the island.
