Koh Chang
Am 24. Januar bin ich von Bangkok aus Richtung Koh Chang gereist. Nach ca. 7 Stuendiger Fahrt mit Bus und Faehre bin ich in meinem Bungalow angekommen. Die Bungalowanlage ist sehr schlicht, aber auch mega gemuetlich gestaltet. Im Restaurant sitzt man ...
back to our paradise
what a relief! felt like we were coming home. checked back into hut 12 again. strung up the hammocks and relaxed. but not for too long. we'd lost out on too many tanning hours so it was sunscreen on and down to lonely beach for a bit of toasting. back to ...
Koh Chang
Bon, ben rien de spécial à dire sur ces 5 jours. Baignade, plage, plongée... Le couple qui tient notre pension est adorable, il nous prête un canoé gratuitement, qui nous permet de rejoindre un petite île visible depuis notre plage. La route ...
Goodbye Bangkok, hello beach
... in the tuk-tuk was more like something out of a James Bond movie than the relatively relaxed Bangkok we'd seen so far. We arrived in Trat in time this evening to get some food from the night market, but we think ate a spice in a soup that we shouldn't ...

More Travelling
... boarder on, or before that date so I don't incur a fine I cant pay. I decide it is easier and cheaper to get a local bus to Trat where I can move on the next day to Cambodia. The bus terminal is 30mins away by taxi and when I get there, I find the bus ...
Koh Chang
Bonjour tout le monde! Koh Chang, ou l ile aux elephants, s est revelee une destination surprenante. Cette ile, qui est la 2e plus grande en Thailande, est montagneuse et une foret tropicale couvre presque la totalite de sa superficie. Les plages sont ...
all the way to the beach in one day
With some luck (and very little planning), we made it all the way from Nakhon Ratchasima(a.k.a. Khorat) to Koh Chang (Elephant Island) via one bus, one mini-bus (standing), one ferry, one shared pickup truck and foot on a dusty road. The sun and ...

Day 22: Out of the Blue

Trat (Islands, Waterfalls, Beaches & Palm trees)

Day 24: Getting all floaty
Rose about 930 and it was raining heavily, the obligatory rice soup followed - I feel I need to give this soup a special mention as it is really something: Thin soup with a thick layer of rice and chicken sitting in it seasoned with spring ...

a la playa ... Beaucoup de russes, grande decouverte. Facile d'access et pres du Cambodge, surement pas la plus belle et malheureusement la probable Phuket. Quelques jours de repos avant Angkor ...
Not going quite to plan

Swedish Island
This island is overrun by swedes. The only language you can hear in the air is swedish, the music in the daytime is swedish, and at night swedish rap fills the air, the fliers for parties include some in swedish. Currently my travel posse surprisingly is ...
Shocking!
Konrad had stayed on Ko Chang before, way back in 2001, so he knew a bit about the island: most importantly where to avoid and where to stay. He had stayed on Lonely Beach, and suggested that we head there. The only problem was that once we ...
An ongoing adventure
The fact that there is a good road between A and B does not necessarily mean there is a means of transportation between these two points. Having paid three dollars for a room a month ago does not imply I will get the same room for the same price today. I ...
Trat

Welcome to Thailand, Koh Chang
We stay our first night on White Sand Beach. We just wanted to get a place quick to chill out after a long day full of numb bum bus rides and do some standing up. We found a cheapish place on the beach called Tantawan 700Baht bungalows on the beach, our ...
verregnetes Koh Chang
Nachdem wir am Sonntagmorgen (26.06.) vom Bailan Beach zum White Sand Beach umgezogen sind und endlich Sandstrand hatten, war es doch tatsaechlich vorbei mit dem schoenen Wetter. Die letzten 3 Tage waren mehr oder weniger verregnet (mit sintflutartigen ...

You dirty rat!
So, about those wooden bungalows. Well, they had great views and a super balcony and all, the only problem is that they also have rats. Not your garden variety city black rats, but rather jungle rats, pretty cute but not really something you want to ...
