See-Chang

See-Chang… The  Island with History

Being alone made my first visit to this island excited.   took a bus from Bangkok

To  Chonburi to catch  a boat at  Sriracha quay which led  me to See Chang Island.

 Looking for  a vehicle to go around this island is  a must as the distance from

Each attraction is far apart. Skylap is suitable for need thanks  to its compact size

And I could depend on its driver who  could also act as my tour guide.

   I paid a visit at Had Kho Pang first. It was remarkable to see  its u-shape

Coast contrasting with the blue sea. Many tourists spent time swimming in

The water.All  the way from there to Chong Khao Khad, I was told that this site

Is the most beautiful place on this island to watch sunset.

This area used to be Royal Pavilion which was once served King Rama 5 as star

Obserbatory.

The skylap took me to Khao-Yai shrine. The shrine is much respected among native people. Within a short walking  distance there was a Buddha foot print

Which once brought there order of  King  Rama 5. This is also a nice spot to view

Panorama around  the island.

The architedcture of Phara-Chula Thucharatsatam reminded me of the past history. The place was once served as summer pavilion for King Rama 5.

The garden,pool, cave and hills were decorated in past western style. There

Was a pagoda on the mountain top which allowed visitors to see the landscape

Of this island.

      Koh See- Chang should be the answer for  anyone looking to spend nice  vacation at affourdable price.
