History

Ek and Dave(Ek is from a local Thai family, born on Koh Chang, while Dave is of Welsh-Canadian origin) founded their original hotel resort in 1998 on a prime piece of beachside property on Koh Chang 's most desirable beach, White Sand Beach. Named in honour of their new baby daughter, Alina, the hotel was an immediate success. With its charming, family-style approach, personal service and friendly staff, Ek and Dave (and little Alina) soon found their resort becoming a favourite with locals and tourists alike.

Four years later, Ek and Dave purchased the property across the road, and plans began for their new expansion, Alina Grande. With every detail designed with the comfort of their guests in mind, Alina Grande opened in early 2006, and continues to grow and thrive, while never losing the personal touch that Alina Grande Hotel and Resort is known for.

Activities on Koh Chang

1. Boat Trips

The beautiful and unspoiled islands around Koh Chang offer excellent opportunities for boating, as well as both diving and snorkelling.There are both half day and full day trips available. All equipment is included, as well as lunch and transportation to and from the boat.

2. Elephant Riding
"Chang" means "Elephant" in the Thai language -- so what better place to experience these magnificent animals than Koh Chang? Take an elephant ride through the jungle from one of their island camps, and learn more about these intelligent and noble creatures.

3. Trekking
The development on Koh Chang is confined to the villages and coastal road, so there is plenty of unspoiled wilderness to explore. The jungle is home to numerous varieties of monkey, barking dear, wild boars and monitor lizards, as well as birds such as great hornbills, eagles and many more.

Many streams run through the rainforest, and waterfalls abound. Our knowledgable staff can recommend a variety of guided treks, tailored to your particular interests, and ranging from easy walks to the more challenging mountain treks for the experienced hiker.

Plus more : We can arrange everything including car tours, motor bike tours,night fishing trips, and tours of the island's colorful farms and picturesque fishing villages.Koh Chang has a rich and interesting variety of things to do, and you'll find our staff both knowlegeable and helpful.

By Road

There are two main driving routes from Bangkok, both around 310 km long. The first route is to take Highway 3, the Bangna - Trat road. There is a quicker elevated toll way running above Highway 3.Continue until the Chonburi Bypass and here turn off onto Highway 344.Follow this road past Ban Bung and when you reach the Klaeng Crossroads turn back on to Highway 3 and continue on towards Trat.

Alternatively you can leave Bangkok on the Motorway that is a continuation of the Rama IX, Srinakarin road. This road goes onwards and meets highway 344 where you can continue to Trat as detailed above.

To avoid Trat and go directly to the ferry departure points turn right onto the well sign posted Laem Ngop road about 20 km outside Trat.

There are 2 piers (Thammachat and Centre Point Ferry) where you can take a passenger and car ferry to Koh Chang. Both are safe and run yearly. The time varies from 30 - 45 minutes. They both run hourly or more often during the peak season.

By Air

There are 3 daily flights from Bangkok to Trat run by Bangkok Airways. Flying time takes about 40 minutes. Go to www.bangkokair.com for flight rates and schedules.
