Koh Si Chang

Underrated and wonderfully laid-back, Koh Si Chang sits just off Si Racha. Expect cliff-top views, small coves, and local seafood, without the crowds of bigger islands.

• Travel time: 1.5–2 hours to Si Racha + 20–40 min ferry.
• Sample weekend budget (pp): 1,500–3,500 THB including bus, ferry, guesthouse, and meals.
• Best for: Couples and solo travelers who value quiet, local charm, and scooter exploring.
• Good to know (Jan–Feb): Breezy and dry; pack a light sweater for night rides; limited beaches but beautiful viewpoints.

Ride a scooter around the island loop, visit Chao Pho Khao Yai Shrine, and catch sunset at Rama V Palace viewpoint.
