islands or the second to Koh Chang in Trat. The
island
covers an area of approximately
105 sq.km or 65,625 rai. It is 25 km in length and 12 km in width.
Its natural features include mountains and plains
where
many streams
originate and some become waterfalls. One famous waterfall is Nam
Tok Khlong Chao flows all throughout the year. It is an ideal
place for swimming, consisting
of 3 tiers; the upper two tiers are running streams and the lower
one is a large pond. In 1911, King Rama VI paid a royal
visit
to this waterfakk and named
it 'Nam Tok Anam
Kok' to commemorate Ong Chiang Su. In addition; there are beaches
with crystal-clear sea popular
among visitors such as Taphao
