Ko Chang (nicknamed Elephant Island because of the shape) is Thailand’s second largest island after Phuket. The island is located not far from Cambodia, in the Gulf of Thailand, South-east from Bangkok in the Trat province.

The island shouldn’t be confused with another island with the same name Koh Chang, which is located near Ranong in the southwest of Thailand. That island is located off the Northern Andaman Coast.
Ko Chang (Trat) is known for its long white sandy beaches, and dense jungle, home to a wide variety of wildlife, like birds, snakes, deer, and even elephants. The place is still much quieter than Phuket or Ko Samui island, to name a few other popular holiday islands in Thailand, but tourism has been growing fast in the past ten years.
Anyway, as for Thai Massage schools and training courses there are not that many official offerings, although we’ve been told that you can rather easily get some training with local massage shops or healers if you ask for it.
