Jungle covered mountains and blue seas
The south west of Ko Chang is reached via tortuous narrow roads, but to see the beaches you have to leave the road and walk along the beach
Views from a rocky headland
Rocky headlands separate the beaches
Behind each beach is a ribbon of intense development
The beaches are hidden from the rode by rows of shops and holiday accommodation
Loungers line the Lonely Beach
Most of the time - and tide, the beach is quite narrow, with all the shaded space taken up by loungers and holiday accommodation
First thing in the morning on Lonely Beach
You need to get up at dawn to see Lonely Beach like this!
Southern end of Lonely Beach
The further you go, the quieter it gets, and at last there are places to sit in the shade of the trees
Warm water even at dawn on Lonely Beach
The waters are warm, and early morning is the best time for a paddle or a swim, before the heat of the sun burns you to a frazzle.
A swinging seat on Ko Chang Lonely Beach
Probably the scene of many photos every day. A swinging seat under a tropical tree, blue seas and distant mountains.

At the far end of Lonely Beach
At the far end of the beach it curves back to the jungle covered hillside
Tropical paradise at Lonely Beach
This is one of the most idyllic sections of the beach, away from the tourist accommodation and crowds

At this distance it is beautiful - but the temperature is rapidly rising, so time to find somewhere cool
Crystal clear water at Ko Chang Lonely Beach
The water here really is this clear!
Not all beaches are sandy
This beach is mostly occupied by a restaurant
Some beaches are out of reach
Some beaches are well fenced off, for the benefit of the more expensive hotels
