Koh Sichang - Historic Island Retreat

11/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Ko Sichang is a small island in the Gulf of Thailand of the coast of Laem Chabang about 30 minutes drive north of the city of Pattaya. The island is surrounded by deep water and is within Thailand's shipping lanes and many ships make it a convenient anchorage tp transfer their cargos to lighter barges for the trip up the Chao Phraya river to Bangkok. The deep waters make the beaches not as enjoyable as those on islands in the Thai Gulf.

However, Ko Si Chang makes a nice weekend outing for tourists with a special interest in Thai history. Tourists can explore the remains of a former royal palace which was built as a summer retreat for King Chulalongkorn which has been maintained as a museum. There are also several places of religious interest to explore while on the island.
