Koh Sichang Travel Guide: The small, enchanting island of Koh Sichang lies off the coast of Si Racha, 120 km southeast of Bangkok and 20 km north of Pattaya. It's a true natural paradise. On weekends and holidays, many Thais come here to relax and enjoy fresh seafood. The rocky island of Koh Sichang, surrounded by turquoise waters, offers stunning scenery and small, idyllic beaches that are not crowded during the week. The hilltop temples with their beautiful views of the harbor and the former royal palace, on the site of which the Vimanmek Palace was built, are also worth a visit. The palace was later dismantled and rebuilt in Bangkok, and its foundations are still visible in the ground. Koh Sichang is very small and can be easily circumnavigated by motorbike. However, it's worth spending at least one night on the island. The atmosphere here is much more authentic than on the other islands in the region. For your information: The Thai Lakhorn film "Game Rai Game Rak," starring Urassaya Yaya and Nadech, was filmed on Koh Sichang. We only regret the many cargo ships in the surrounding sea, but they are far enough away to be easily forgotten. Koh Sichang is one of our favorite islands in Thailand!
