Travel Blogs from Ko Chang Tai, Thailand
At Koh Chang
... 's, bananas, papayas and dragon fruits here. We drink banana shake almost everyday. It is so tasty and we cannot imagine Thailand without banana shake anymore. Thai are budhists. They believe in karma. They think they should do their best in order to ...
Last of Bang Bao
It's with a heavy heart we leave this place. We've enjoyed it very much, made some great friends. Wish we could stay longer. There's so much of the island that we didn't see as well as neighbouring islands to visit. Could probably ...
Brian's Travel Tips: Sunburn
When I lived in Scotland I had forgotten that the sun existed. Since being in Thailand, I realize that this was a myth. I have found the sun again, and it has bitten me – badly. Children, wear your freaking sunscreen (and a t-shirt while ...
Underwater Adventures
I've figured out that the best way to deal with the heat: water. Not just showers, although the cold water feels nice (why would anyone want hot showers here!), but you're sticky again as soon as you dry off. Swimming is a different matter. You're in ...
Paradise Found!
Well, at least for us...Back away from all the bustle, we've arrived in a private stretch of shoreline with nothing between us and beyond. Little rustic beach huts are a jungle walk away from the main area and are perched up on a cliff top. ...
Cooking Class
Brian's decided to sign up for a 3 day diving package, so I've gone off to do some cooking. I love Thai food and actually cook it quite frequently (especially after I found the Thai supermarket on Dalry Road). It seems quite simple to cook, but I just ...
So Long Beaches
Koh Chang was our last little glimpse of tropical paradise living before we returned to Bangkok and then home. We stayed in a beach hut again, and again we had a short walk to the beach, but little in the way of amenities. Unless bugs and geckos are ...
50 Shades of Green
... on the first leg of a day of travelling that would probably be 8 hrs +: train, bus, ferry, taxi :P). Approaching the island of Koh Chang it appeared to be an unbroken mass of green. The ferry port and one stilted shack was all I could see. But as we ...
Brian's Travel Tips: Vomit
When your wife starts to unexpectedly vomit in a train station in Bangkok. Take the opportunity to turn around and watch the reactions of another culture. You can learn a lot about a culture by their reactions to a woman vomiting in ...
Monkey See Monkey Do
Took a short little kayak around outside out secluded bay to 'monkey point'. Brian had passed this the other day after diving and said there were hoards of monkeys. We knew there were quite a few in our area as we've seen them along the beach and near ...
Bran's Travel Tips: Growth
When you get to warm climates, you may discover that your hair and fingernails grow at an exorbitant rate. So to combat this, you might want to take a page out of the Thai Lady Boy's hand book and use a bit of hormone replacement therapy. Not only ...
Ko Chang
Nach 4 Tagen Bangkok ging es dann MIT Malcolm nach Ko Chang. Eine kleine Insel im Osten von Thailand. Unser Resort wurde von einem Schweizer geleitet und somit war der Standart deutlich höher als in den sonstigen Unterkünften. Wir hatten einen schönen ...
Paradies auf Erden
Sind gestern in Koh Chang angekommen, die fahrt war laenger als gedacht, statt der versprochenen 4 Stunden hat es 8 gedauert, aber es hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Ich bin vom lauten, bunten vollem Bangkok geradewegs im Paradies gelandet. Man muss sich das ...
Beach hut, beach BBQs, beach bums!
After leaving the luxury of Furama, we headed towards Whitesands beach to find ourselves a little beach bungalow about five paces from the sand. We stayed here for three nights and enjoyed lazing on the beach followed by fish BBQ dinners on the sand. ...
Paradise
As soon as we walked into the open air lobby, we knew this was going to be a treat after being patient and nurse (male obviously) for three weeks! From the minute they handed us cool towels, a cocktail and traditional flowers, Kate knew she had chosen ...
Bang Bao - a village on stilts
It was a stormy morning the day we had decided to leave for Bang Bao. Luckily, when we arrived, the rain had subsided long enough for us to find accommodation on the pier. The pier had all sorts of shops, homes, restaurants and guesthouses so it was an ...
Another week of beach BBQs on Whitesands
... which beach BBQ to eat at. As our month visa was running out, it was with regret that we decided to leave Koh Chang after three weeks. It had been such a contrast to crazy India. We decided our next destination would be Bangkok for Shane's ...
Swimming with baby elephants!
Hannah, Kate's sister, recommended KB Resort in Kai Bai because it had a nice swimming pool, which it did. When we arrived, we went for a stroll along the beach and spotted baby elephants swimming with people in the sea. It looked like fun, so we ...
Koh Chang - Thailand
Koh Chang Five hours south of Bangkok is Koh Chang, the second largest island of Thailand, with 50 smaller islands near by. A full on tourist island but we found a pretty and quiet spot at the southern tip of the island. Three weeks of a very relaxing ...
Back on Paradise
... and the fact that there was no snow helped!. We arrived at the resort at 5pm, perfect for Mum's first sunset in Koh Chang. We settled into the rooms, Mum having a Bungalow with TV and a air conditioning unit and Danny and I in a fan room ...
Thailand - Ko Chang
... the island’s west coast and expansion is now beginning to stud other more isolated areas of Thailand’s second largest island. But escape to Ko Chang’s mountainous interior and you’ll find a lost world of rugged waterfalls and ...
Ko Chang en Ko Wai
Na een lange en vermoeiende dag reizen vanuit Cambodja weer terug naar Thailand zitten we dan eindelijk op Ko Chang. Een eilandje bij de grens met Cambodja. Hoewel ik (Kees) nooit een Bounty heb gelust is dit Bounty-eiland toch echt een lust voor het oog. ...
Thailand – Koh Chang 19.-22.09.2012
Bei Sonne sieht’s doch echt fein aus – wenn’s nächtens nur net so stürmen ...
That luang
... Bangkok. Kæmpe busstation mindst 200 busser. Ind på stationen og finde den rigtige box hvor vi kunne købe billet til koh chang. Vi fik afvide at vi skulle købe til trat og så finde tuk tuk derfra og til havnen. Kostede 272 baht ...
Dag 7-9
... vinna kriget mot kackerlackorna :) Vi har börjat fundera på att åka vidare så det blir nog max 2 nätter till på Koh Chang för att sedan åka till Bangkok och ta oss vidare med tåg mot Chiang Mai. Nu ska vi göra oss i ordning, checka ut ...
Rood en fishing
... elke vangst juichen we samen. Na een poosje vraagt hij of ik het ook eens wil proberen. Ja! Makkie. Meneer vertrekt om een 'Chang' te halen, die ik vriendelijk afsla en ik ga van start. Vijftien minuten later, een halve meloen verder en nog meer pijn in ...
Dag 3
Idag har vi solat och badat, varit mycket varmare och mindre regn. Vi har varit på jakt efter en rese adapter och kortläsare som vi tillslut hittade i " staden " bredvid. På nått sätt så lyckas vi alltid hitta billig mat så än så länge håller ...
