Koh Samet is pretty but Koh Chang is beautiful. As Samet is closer to
Bangkok and Pattaya, it gets a lot more people than Koh Chang. The main
beaches at Samet are usually quite crowded and although Chang has become
much more popular in the last 10 years or so, it still has some beautiful,
quiet beaches. Personally, I would always choose Koh Chang, but it's not a
well-kept secret anymore

Everyone says how Koh Chang has become over developed, but it still seems
like a paradise to me. There are places with top end resorts and a fairly
developed town behind White Sand Beach, but there are also many more quiet
little beaches and even the development along White Sand Beach is pretty
low rise and unobtrusive. I would recommend Koh Chang to anyone. I'm not
giving up my secret place though - I don't want to see it getting crowded
;-)
