Koh Sichang remains a hidden gem, relatively undiscovered by foreigners and even locals. This island, once the retreat of choice for the Thai royal family during King Rama V's reign, is now home to many locals who lend it a relaxed ambience.
Kick-off your day with a hassle-free pick-up from your hotel in Pattaya by a private taxi that will transport you to Koh Loi Siracha. There, hop onto a shared ferry for a comfortable 45-minute journey across the water.
Once ashore at Koh Sichang, meet your local driver at the pier who will escort you to your skilful motorised tuktuk. This quintessential vehicle, rare in Thailand, will take you on an exciting five-hour tour around the island's highlights.
Your first destination is Chao Pho Khao Yai Shrine, where traditional Thai and Chinese temples coexist harmoniously. Hop onto a cable car for an enjoyable ride up to this sacred temple much revered by locals. Next, make your way to Mondop Roi Phraphutthabat where Buddha's footprint can be observed. Marvel at the spectacular views from one of the island's highest points.
From there, head to Chong Khao Khat, a bay shaped like a crescent moon, before tracing the footsteps of royals at the Summer Palace. Explore the intriguing sea cave at Tam Talu and then conclude your tour at Hat Tham Phang beach. Take advantage of some free time here to unwind, swim, dine, sip on refreshing beverages or even paddle in a kayak.
When ready, return to the mainland via the shared ferry. Your private taxi driver will be waiting to whisk you back to your hotel after a memorable day out.
