In October of 2008, I took a relaxing 4 day trip to Koh Chang, Thailand - translated this means "Elephant Island."  It's about a 4 hour drive from Bangkok to Trad, then a car ferry ride across to the island.  This was my first trip to Koh Chang, but it won't be my last.  It's a beautiful island - heavily wooded and largely undeveloped - with some great places to see and wonderful seafood restaurants too!  I stayed in a pool villa, which you can see from the pictures featured its own small private pool on the deck.  It was a great place to just relax and forget about everything for a few days!
