It takes six hours to drive from Bangkok to Koh Chang, but the pay-off is an island that has preserved more of its nature. And during this season, resorts there are much cheaper, such as The Dewa Koh Chang (02-261-6364, www.thedewakohchang.com). Its Bliss Package features a two-night stay with breakfast, one barbeque dinner, one Thai dinner, one Thai lunch, a roundtrip to Klong Pru waterfall and White Sand beach, free Wi-Fi, use of a kayak, and a choice between a one-day snorkeling trip or a 60-minute massage. The package is B11,000 per couple, and is not applicable for group bookings. Valid through Oct 31.
