History
King Rama IV, Rama V and Rama VI came to the island for their rest. King Rama V initiated construction of a royal summer palace, named "Phra Chuthathut Palace" (Thai: พระจุฑาธุชราชฐาน) after his son who was born on this island. The royal residence was abandoned in 1893 after the Frenchoccupied the island during a conflict with Thailand over control of neighboring Laos.

The British diplomat John Crawfurd visited the islands in 1822 during the mission described in his book Journal of an embassy from the Governor-General of India to the courts of Siam and Cochin-China : exhibiting a view of the actual state of those kingdoms. He reports that Francis Buchanan-Hamilton called the islands of Ko Sichang District the "Dutch Islands", and Ko Sichang itself as "Amsterdam", due to frequent visits by ships of the Dutch East India Company during the 17th century.American diplomat Edmund Roberts visited the district in the 1830s, which he documented in his book, Embassy to the Eastern Courts of Cochin-China, Siam, and Muscat.

Story about the name of the shrine. Is significantly more difficult to treat. Even the philosopher of language, just assume the meaning and origin of the word "hate" as follows.
Hate to be the language of the Khmer people, a tribe known for the Ethnology and by relying on assumptions only. And do not know the real meaning.
Hate is coming from the Chinese season, which means four of the farm by a story told that a merchant sailing ships trading to China 4 Mr. Long island. Feeling tired of the trades settled. And turned to farming occupations on the island. Later, the word "season" is derivative of "hate".
I hate the word "Chgฆs Rain," which means แkggsinghs because the island is shaped like แkggsinghs.

In May, a month is a holiday for many days. This will stop many days to stay at home doing nothing I would not. I would like Need to hang out a little bit out of it. I think that will go well, near Bangkok. Day trip to One of mind, it is flashed on Koh Si Chang, but I think my mother to go away. It is agreed by the success that no one ever wants to go to the shrine before.
We left the house early in the morning from 5am to go around so they can go on a boat around the 7.00 Motorway (Highway 7) for the toll was 30 baht 2 sides (30 + 30) provide money. do not waste time with them. Leave the motorway at the sign pointing to some. Then he headed to Sukhumvit Road Pattaya. Will see the sign to turn right to the floating island. Turn into it before we go to 7.00 a parking lot. I have rarely come together in the morning, then went straight to the boat dock jutting out. In the building Here is the red roof.
The ferry to Koh SiChang 35 baht each boat leaves every hour from 7:00 to 18:00 pm. Boats to the shrine is a boat ride to class 2, suggesting that the two are going to see the view from the outside and I was sitting with. on the ground floor Due to the slow, full seat The lower subtropical Worse than that, the bow seat to close the splash window comes. The first boat is loaded with vegetables. Fresh from the Sriracha carried to the shrine. So it's no wonder the island is more expensive than on shore. If too many people to buy fresh seafood to eat in the island would be cheaper to buy on the island
For a ticket that can be stored before it's time to ship out to collect tickets. The tickets will only ship to the table itself. Actually, there are four ships sailing company alternately every hour. Below is a plastic chair style seats, 3 seats left, right, 3 seat chairs are life jackets are provided. Who will wear life jackets at all Safety First But I notice that some chairs, why not for life. If you check the reading on the luck. I have Samet safety. What happens when it has not come to the barn later.
Sit for a while, climb the ship's horn. It signals that the ship is out now. And then from shore. Elected to drive faster than the ferry boats to the island. Do not sit with seasickness Now we come to the sea to see the full fleet was anchored in the middle of the ocean to me. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to sit in the middle of the picture to watch.
There will be 2 Tha Chang pier together. Tha Bottom (Tha Tech Wong) and landing on (it Panurangsri) for about 45 minutes, we came to the bottom. Actually, I would park the boat and go before landing on the ground. Where we were going to travel around the island and then get into a better position. Feel uncomfortable when in a boat
When they arrived on the island, a motor bike Skylab bus tour comes to me I might be a bit confused. It is a good I'll take a look at.
Bike 1 hour, 80 baht, 250 baht whole day, overnight 300 baht.
Minibus trip around the island for 500 baht unlimited seats up to 15 people.
Skylab around the island at 250 baht unlimited ride no more than 6 paying passengers on the way to the harbor.
I choose to use the Skylab. Skylab is a guide for us too. Skylab front shaped like a motorcycle but the engine is a small engine car. So do not be afraid to be strong enough, we had a 2 seat side facing down a roof.
The first point is that Sky Lab is taking us to court, he will be on the north side of the island next to Port of sorts. His next court is a court of Guanyin. His shrine is a cave in the top would be more than the 150 stairs to the peak of the summit. The sacred shrine of Stairs rise, this may not be suitable for the elderly who have problems with him that much. When there is little possibility for the Aged, inviting us contributing factor. We walked past the sweat, it comes on noticed that the architecture is mixed with Thailand's Chinese. The top to see the harbor and houses the shrine as well.
Before reaching the shrine, he will have another junction to the court of the King 5 and Krom Luang Chumphon. It is the Sangkajai enough into statues. Court of Guanyin godfather Going back to the shrine to the Neko.
Read the history of the shrine is an island with great weather. People on the island have lived His trip to Chanthaburi from the archives of King Chulalongkorn. When he was young were completed by the. Fourth visit to the shrine. He gave alms to the elderly on the island over 100 years up to 3 people in that nursing is a popular shrine of Thailand and foreigners.
In the latter. 5 God Lokyaeta Princess Sirindhorn Dechavut. He has been sick symptoms I have offered advice to medical treatment at the shrine. 5 He went to his pastoral concern for his son as well. He gave a jerk to the shrine with the construction of things. (A derivative of the shrine buildings that often have the word "Ashtanga").
In 2431 it was building up from the third of his property. For the recuperating patient Vadhana Building is the Building and Building Sri pleasures, and in the year 2435 was graciously pleased to create the palace as a royal residence in the summer to transform King called. "Chudhadhuj court," the name of God at the shrine Lokyaeta born on July 5, 2435, when the court was created to provide fresh water to build roads, ports, schools, parks and post office.
Later in the Rs 112 while the French had invaded the palace construction was not finished. It did not come to stay at the shrine, and later the favorite to take the throne. "It's precious minerals fluoresce," the throne of God. The new building is currently Vimanmek Dusit Palace. (Royal Teak and after).
Elected as a concrete road with only two lanes of vehicles, mostly motorcycles do not have to do very large. The climate is quite good Pollution from cars and factories If you rent a bike ride around the island, it's most comfortable drive is a little flat, uphill, downhill much. Snapshot we came to the Hellfire Pass Beach and Round Rock .
Hellfire Pass is located at the back of the island. If a boat ride through the gorge. In the past, the Pavilion is a view of the King 5 on the bottom of the gorge is a circular beach rock. Why has this name because it is filled with many round stones. This beach can not swim here. We also have a view of the ocean. Indra Bridge Skip to the side of the island.
Indra Bridge The white you see in the picture below is one of the bridges that have been argued that obscured the view. Some say that making it easy for visitors to see the sunset, everyone was thinking it.
This cape is filed Vajiravudh some comparison to Kata. Phuket that are equally beautiful. This Cape fishing. And watch the beautiful sunsets of the shrine. We walked across the bridge to the other side of Vajiravudh.
