Sorry Jacks,
I have taken our kids to Phuket, Phi-Phi, Koh Samui, Hua Hin, Ao Nang and Bangkok over the last 6 years and have plenty of recommedations but we havn't ventured to Ko Chang. It sounds very nice but It is an unusual choice for a first time trip. I like larger centres with kids as you can find plenty of things for them to do if they are getting tired and bored with the beach. I am interested to know what made you choose KOH Chang?
