Welcome
to Rock Sand Resort.... On Thailand's most paradisaic Koh
Chang island.
We
couldn't describe the exceptional qualities of this wonderful
Thai island more accurate than de Telegraaf newspaper did
in her quire de Reiskrant on 20 november, 2004 in a leading
article:
"Koh
Chang , paradise on earth, offers smashing nature and serene
quiet..."
How
come?
The Thai government has declared Koh Chang an environmental
protected area: no hotel towers will be built, the sea and
her corals are protected, a.o. by allowing only limited motorized
boat traffic, and also the rainforest with her unique flora
en fauna are under permanent ecological protection.
This
guarantees the unspoiled and paradisiac atmosphere of Koh
Chang for the future.
You will be amazed by the pureness of the island, not spoilt
by too much tourism. You will encounter snow-white palmbeaches
and a steel blue sea, providing excellent swimming water.
You will find the National Park almost on our door-step: an
untouched tropical rainforest with rich variegations of tropical
fauna and dotted with flowers and butterflies of rare beauty.

Rock
Sand Resort lies at White Sand Beach, one of the prettiest
parts of this beautiful island.
Our
resort has been rebuilt alomost completely in 2004 and 2005,
at which she has been newly run up from natural materials.
The picturesque complex consists of a central building, lying
directly at the beach, with lobby, bar, restaurant and reception,
while the various lodges and rooms are located among the natural
offshoots of the jungle, thus greatly being hidden from sea-
and forest-view.
On
the Resort page you will find a more complete description
of both the room accomodations and the presented facilities
on the resort and it's direct surroundings, complete with
some illustrating photographs.

"We'll
be back!" or "See you next year!" is often
te farewell-cry from our customers.
Even
though saying goodbye has always something sad in it, these
kind of farewell's ever fill us with joy.
Rock Sand shouldn't just be a resort. In Rock Sand we want
out guests to feel completely at home, so that they leave
with a feel of regret. With this goal in mind, we try to make
every guest feel utterly comfortable during their stay with
us.

Even
when you would decide to spend your whole vacation at Rock
Sand's, you should never feel bored and your holidays should
be unforgettable.
The
environment of Rock Sand Resort

island has to offer, against guest-prices. You can get information

In
the village of White Sand Beach, which you will find on a
nice walk-distance (about 10 minutes) from Rock Sand Resort,

The
offerinfg in nature-neuaty on Koh Chang is overwelming, and
you can sxplore this in several ways: there are jungleytipd
for boths groups and individuals> you may also choode to
rent a Private guide..

When
you see Koh Chang while approaching it on the ferryboat, and
you try to displace in the fantasyworld of eastern people,
you can see the silhouette of an elephant, bathing in the
see, in the coust-hills contours.
Who
wouldn't like to ride on the back of an elephant?
Koh Chang does mean "elephant-island", doesn't it?.
This is our island. This is Koh Chang, and a ride on the back
of an elephant becomes utterly unforgettable when you take
the elephant to see, and take a bath together with the animal.
Just share the intense pleasure of the elephant and enjoy
the lovely warm water.
This feeling is not to be compared with anything...
Chantabouri
Chantabouri
is a nice town with shops, a large and lively market and the
roofed-in mall "Robinson", wjere you also will find
western-like ice-saloons and coffee-corners.

In
Robinson, practically everything is for sale, from mops to
musical instruments, and (of course) to the, for a western
tourist, incredibale low prices.
From Trat, buses leave regularly to Chantabouri. Travelling
time is about 1.5 hours.
Trat
Trat lies directly at the coast near Koh Chang and is to be
reached easily by ferry and bus. Apart from all kinds of shops
and the market, Trat also has various historical places of
interest, that attract many travellers. You may also have
a good change to find yourself in the middle of a local cultural
feast...
