It actually consists of six rocky reefs
The fishing harbour of Si Racha is also the starting point for trips to the nearby island of Ko Sichang (six trips a day; lasting about 30 minutes). In the 19th century the island was an important trading site, but nowadays Ko Sichang is significant only as a fishing harbour. It is worth viewing the ruined summer residence of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) on the highest point of the island. Since the island was occupied by the French in 1893, the palace was never completed. A chedi on the southern promontory of the island is all that remains of Wat Asdangnimitr. Two temples are situated on the steep cliffs: the yellow Buddha statue of the first can be seen for miles around, and an excellent view of the busy harbour from the other, a Chinese temple, rewards the climb up 500 steps.
