TRAT
Trat, the far boundary of Thailand’s East Coast, has long
been pretty much frontier territory, literally as it borders Cambodia and
figuratively in the somewhat rough and tumble world of its gem mining past.
The
picture is changing today, however, with the growing popularity of the
province’s big attraction, Ko Chang, Thailand’s second largest island. Lying
eight kiometres off the coast, Ko Chang is the main isle in a 52 island
archipelago that forms Muko Chang Marine National Park.
Mainly because of its
isolation, only now are the island’s idyllic beaches being discovered by
international travellers. There is a choice of accommodation, although
infrastructure development is slight compared to other Thai resorts, and it is
still possible to enjoy the thrilling sense of discovering a tropical paradise
anew.
