Ko Sichang
One day covers the main sights; add a second night for beach relaxation or slower pace.
Ko Sichang is a small island near Si Racha, reachable by bus and ferry from Bangkok. Its historic palace ruins, temples, caves and the single beach can be seen in a day, but a night lets you enjoy sunset and quieter beach time.
