Until recently Bang Saray was a sleepy fishing village
where the only activity was the coming and going of the small wooden fishing
craft as they depart each day to make their catch. Recently, due to the
superb location it has been "slightly" developed by one or two high end
villa projects. However, it still maintains its "old world charm". The
gentle sloping beach and the calm turquoise
waters are rarely busy and offer an excellent opportunity for relaxing and
eating local barbecue and seafood dishes.
Only a couple of hundred metres in from the beach road stands the impressive
Bang Saray Temple (Wat) with its tall roofs and highly decorated spires. If
you are an early riser it is possible to see the monks on their daily
rounds, collecting food and performing ritual blessings to the people. |
Rayong
Another delightful resort on the eastern coast, Rayong is just beginning
to gain popularity. With a 100 kilometre-long coastline, it boasts several
beautiful beaches and scenic waterfalls amid natural surroundings. Rayong is
also rich in sea-life resources and considered a major agricultural and
industrial province. Rayong is 180 kilometres from Bangkok and covers a
total area of 3,552 square kilometres.

Koh Chang
Koh Chang has always been a favourite get-away for Thai people. Lush and
mountainous, this quiet island, full of natural treasures, is a jewel just
waiting to be discovered.
Only 360 kilometres from Bangkok, Koh Chang is an island paradise with
pristine forests and rich marine life. The largest of 47 islands off the
coast of Trat province, its seeming inaccessibility means that the island
has been largely overlooked by visitors, making it a true island get- away.
However, an excellent road from Bangkok and a short flight from Bangkok to
Trat airport, have meant that the destination is now starting to get the
attention that it deserves.
Mountainous Koh Chang has an undisturbed interior of dense tropical rain
forest, home to many species including macaque monkeys, barking deer and
wild pig. Trekkers can also expect to see more than 70 species of birds. Koh
Chang and the islands in this chain were awarded Marine National Park status
in 1982 to ensure that this pristine environment is preserved.
Whilst exploring the jungle is a possibility, the less energetic who simply
want to relax on the beach won't be disappointed! The whole of the western
side of the island has white sand beaches, which stretch as far as the eye
can see.

Chantaburi province
is located in the east of Thailand, about 300 km from Bangkok. The
province is rich in natural resources, especially sapphires and rubies.
There are many fruit orchards, producing plentiful supplies of tropical
fruits such as rambutan, durian and longan (see the
pages about the Thai fruits). The province is also rich in
natural attractions, from pristine beaches to waterfalls and natural parks
filled with wild plants. Chantaburi has played an important role in the
history of Thailand. After the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767, it was here that
king Taksin retreated to. Having regrouped his soldiers he marched back into
the central plains and reclaimed Ayutthaya. Chantaburi was later occupied by
the French between 1893 and 1904, before an agreement was made, in which
Thailand conceded land that now lie in Cambodian territory. |
 Maneechan Resort & Sport Club Chantaburi
Maneechan Resort & Sport Club Chantaburi is a luxurious resort-style hotel with
an excellent standard surrounded by refreshing environment of unpolluted nature,
and fully equipped with facilities and first-rate service that will ensure the
comfort of your stay. You will enjoy the opportunity to exercise in the sport

Trat
Trat is the province situated at the east border of Thailand, 315
kilometers from Bangkok. In the province, there are 5 districts, namely
Muang, Khao Saming, Laem Ngob, Klong Yai, Bo Rai and 2 sub-districts; Ko Kud
and Ko Chang.
The province is close to Chanta Buri and Cambodia in the North and
adjacent to the Gulf of Thailand in the South. The east is separated from
Cambodia by Buntud Mount Range eastwards from the middle of the province.
Weru River separates the west Trat from Chanta Buri.
Ko Chang is the ideal location for the real rest as the weather there is
very comfortable with the average temperature not too cold or too hot. Ko
Chang is influenced by the northeastern and southwestern storms. That
triggers limitations to the water transportation to the group of islands.
Between May and October which is the period of southwestern monsoons, the
west coast is always visited by storms and thus, not safe for ferry boats.
Between November to April is very safe since there are quite a few storms.
Most of Trat areas lie in the Gulf of Thailand. This makes the province
abundant with tourism resources. Trat has as many as 52 islands, especially
Ko Chang include sea, waterfalls and forest. The province is also the source
of red sapphire, fine shrimp paste and sweet rakum, a kind of palm of genus
Zalacca with sweet and acid taste. Koh Kood is located at the very
end of the Thai eastern maritime territory bordering Cambodia. Koh Kood is
the last Island in the Trat Sea Waters. Covering 105 square kilometers, it
is the second biggest island of the province of Trat, after Ko Chang.
