The island of Koh Sichang is situated 45 minutes ferry ride off Sriracha in the Gulf of Thailand. It is the nearest island to Bangkok, and as such is used as a retreat by many of the city’s residents.
Koh Sichang was once the summer residence of H.M. King Chulalongkorn, Rama V during the nineteenth century. His house, Gardens and Shrine are well maintained to this day, and are certainly worth a visit.
Koh Sichang is refreshingly low on tourists and offers a tranquil atmosphere to relax you after the rigors of Bangkok. However , the Island does attract many Chinese, for Chinese New Year especially, who come to the Island for visit the temple Saan Chao Pho Khao Yai (shrine of the father Spirit of the Great Hill). Caves to the rear of the Temple are full of religious statues and artifacts.
