I've been living in Thailand for so many years and yet I never heard of this Island. When we talk about the Islands in Thailand the first thing that comes to tourists' minds are Koh Phi-Phi, Koh Samui, Koh Chang, Koh Samed, Koh etc. Anyway the word 'Koh' means Island in Thai language.
Not so many know about this Island and as far as I know is that this is the nearest island from Bangkok. This island is also surrounded with other smaller islands.
Location:
The information counter at the pier in Ko Sichang provides necessary information and a brochure carrying the information of five important locations of the island written in Thai and English languages.
How to get there:
You can take the bus going to Si Racha from Ekkamai Station in Sukhumvit Rd. and the fare for this bus is only 88 Baht. Then get off at Robinsons Department Store in Si Racha and take Tuk-Tuk going to the pier which will cost about 50 Baht. Just tell the driver "Pai Tang Rueau ( Roo-wa ) means go to the pier. Ferry boat fare is 40 baht.
Accomodation:
Normally, the guests house, hotels and resort in this island don't have their website so you have to make your reservation over the phone. Some people go there for only one day tour and some are walking in for the hotel accommodation.
These are the guesthouse/resort that we stayed in
