Google Earth gives you a good
overview of the island but for a real look you have to get up in the air in
an ultralight. Head to the small airstrip in Klong Prao where you can
take a flight in a 2 person flying machine for 15, 30 or 60 minutes -
depending on how much of the island you want to see.
If you don't know what an ultralight is .
. .
. . . and it will take off from
here, Klong Prao Airport.
The following photos take you from the
north east of the island around to the south east.
The Koh Chang Ferry pier, where most
people arrive on the island.
Klong Son Bay. Sheltered bay, now
home to a large luxury housing development
White Sand Beach. See the far
northern end to the left of the photo, a nice stretch of sand here.
The built up area is densely packed with resorts & shops, restaurants etc.
