Ko Chang National Park [1] is in Trat Province, Eastern Thailand.

[edit] Understand

Created in 1982, the Mu Ko Chang National Park consists of 47 islands, Ko Chang being the largest and best known. The park covers 192 square kilometres of land and 458 square kilometres of water, and extends to approximately 45 kilometres in length (north to south) and 32 kilometres in width (east to west). The 12. Degree line of latitude runs almost exactly horizontal through the centre of the park.

As a national park, development is slowed somewhat, but tourism seems to be picking up and the Forestry Department of Thailand has the ultimate word about what will happen to the area.
