Due to the shocking pricing of the internet on the islands and the lack of much to write for the first week on my return to Thailand there has been a considerable lack of development on the blog for which I apologise.
We’re now on the 26th, so I have to go back to the 13th when I actually arrived to backlog where ive been.
Arriving on the 13th in Bangkok after a horrible 13 hour trip out of Cambodia, I spent the next few days there tying up with friends on trips home who i’d met in Laos. Nothing new asuch as it was spent on Koh Sahn and Ratumburi, an area opposite which id never actually been to.
On the 16th when we went our seperate ways, I headed back out towards Cambodia and south to Koh Chang to visit a friend for a few days before he flew home.
Koh Chang is rather dull, and very strange for the people that visit it. Traditionally its where the Thai’s tend to go for holiday so there are alot of expensive resorts, but its slowly becoming touristy. Perhaps the time of year, but there werent people there and the bars and restaurants made it a ghost town. Due to the layout it was difficult to get around without a bike and even then the hills are very steep. The views made up for this with spectacular sunsets over the 4 outlying islands.
Most days were spent hunting for good spots on the beach and finding which bar had the relevent party on that night. Staying at Bailan beach meant a spell over the hills every night to make it to Lonely beach for the backpacker area.
It would be interesting to see how it is during the busy seasons, but I dont think ill be visiting there again.
