      6. Day 1. Koh Chang

      18 de junio de 2023, Tailandia ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

      Day 1. Koh Chang
      We woke up at 0345 to catch the bus to the ferry in Trat. The bus journey only lasted 6 hours and was so comfy compared to the bus journeys we experienced in Nepal! It was so strange going on smooth roads and being able to go over 30 miles an hour!
      Once we arrived at the ferry port , we had a 20 minute wait before catching the ferry to Koh Chang. Everyone went to sit at the top outside, but then we were hit by a heavy rain storm, which ended up lasting most of the day .
      When we reached Koh Chang, we ran over to the taxis taking us to our hotel, we were sat with about 5 other people in the back of a pick up truck and we had to drive through floods in the road on the way . Fortunately the drive to our little bungalow wasn't very far, once we arrived we sorted out our bags and waited for the weather to improve a little before heading to Kai Bae beach- a beach about a 20 min walk away from our bungalow .
      The beach was beautiful with white sands and coconut trees dotted all the way down. We walked the length of beach and chilled for a bit before walking to town to find somewhere to eat.
      We found a nice little restaurant and both ordered a beer and a Thai Panang curry - which was seriously good. Our favourite flavoured curry yet.
      We then walked back to our little bungalow and it had started to rain quite heavily again !
      We relaxed for a while before having a relatively early night . Hopefully the weather improves tomorrow.

      7. Day 2. Koh Chang

      Day 2 Koh Chang

      We have learnt that we have arrived in the middle off their off season. There are disadvantages to this due to many restaurants, bars and resorts shut, and the potential for sudden downfalls of torrential rain. But the massive upside is we have these beautiful beaches practically to ourselves. The island is also so green due to the rain, so many tropical smells and humidity as 80% of this island is covered in tropical jungle.

      Today we had a much needed lie in.
      We headed out to rent a Scooter so we can explore. We have a cool Honda 150cc to use. We headed back to the lovely beach we visited yesterday first, Kai Bae Beach and got straight in the sea as the sun was shining. The water is about 30' currently so we spent quite alot of time paddling about. When we got out of the sea an 3 elephants with their owners came onto the beach and started to have a bath in the sea, not many places you will see elephants on the beach! We watched them bathing for a while and then head off to Lonely Beach for some lunch, we had local calamari and it was delicious. We went down onto lonely Beach and we certainly felt lonely! No one about on the beach when we first arrived. We love being here in off season.
      We had another swim and chilled on the beach for a while and then headed back to the scooter. Which wouldn't start! We rang the hire company and struggled to understand us but eventually came down to assist. Flat battery, I had left the lights on... After about 30 mins the moped was running again.
      We rode south as we were exploring this part of the island towards Bang Bae and saw some monkeys swinging by the road, we drive onto a few more beaches which were super nice ready for sunset. Opps we were on the wrong side of the island! We walked along the deserted beach and came across a restaurant where we had a Thai curry about 3 mtrs from the waves rolling in, which was lovely. We went to book our ferry after food and they infromed us that we will have to go back to mainland to go to Koh Kood, so annoying as we can literally see it from Bang Boa, in high season they run 3 times a day, it will take us about 8 hours to do and alot of organisation. So we are thinking our next move as if weather holds out a visit to Koh Kood would be lovely. We have an idea for a snorkleing trip around the island which is exciting but would need a solid sunny day for that. We drove home in the dark slowly on the moped and went to bed.

    • Día 8

      8. Day 3. Koh Chang

      20 de junio de 2023, Tailandia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Day 3
      Today we woke up and heading up north of the island, we had a quite a few places to see so headed off early. We stopped at our closest beach which we hadn't found yet called Krong Proa beach and had some breakfast at a sea front restaurant, apart from the Moldy toast (which they replaced), it was delicious.

      We headed all the way then to the north of the island and found a peninsula where the sea was to our left and right with a big jetty going out. We walked along the jetty and saw coral and many different fish swimming about, so grabbed our googles and went to jump in, sadly once in the water was rather cloudy, but we did still manage to see many crabs and fish. We walked along the coast and found a lovely beach which again was deserted and chilled here for a while.

      We headed back south towards another famous beach called White Sands Beach, after a really steep descent it sadly really wasn't worth it. Too much litter and no jungle, felt very commercial.
      After a short stay we left to go back Krong Proa Beach, we stopped and grabbed a couple of wood fired pizzas, a couple of Chang beers-which are the best beers btw! And headed to the beach to see the sunset and eat our food, it was very dramatic and beautiful as a storm was rolling in across the bay. We headed back and booked an extra night at jungle resort. Now watching a film, covered in some after sun enjoying another Chang!

      11. 12. Day 6&7. Koh Chang

      24 de junio de 2023, Tailandia ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

      Day 11 and 12

      Day 11:
      Today we headed out for breakfast at a place called 15 palms - which is supposed to be well known for its good food . Luckily, it didn't disappoint. James had a full English and I enjoyed a mango smoothie bowl . We sipped coffee slowly watching the waves infront of us . We had a quick swim at the hotel swimming pool , it was so cool and refreshing !
      Once we had dried off a little , we headed off to Khlong Phlu waterfall to do some more swimming ! The waterfall was about a 500 m walk into the jungle once you had parked, with ropes embedded into the bank to hold onto . The waterfall at the end of the walk was really tranquil , located in the jungle with a large swimming hole - it was just perfect !
      There were others that were swimming too, so we waited for a good time for a quick swim. The water was so cool and clear , but there were quite big fish in there that kept nibbling our feet !
      After all the feet nibbling , we sat on the bank for a while admiring the waterfall in the sun .
      After the excitement of the Waterfalls we headed off to a snorkling hotspot to be told that it's closed and we would have to go to the beach instead. We headed down and enjoyed a beer by the sea. We drove home and headed out to a local Thai restaurant and decided that a snorkling trip is the best idea. There is places and reefs that you can snorkel around from the shore, but the best places are by boat! We have also booked our flights & Surf school in Bali on 13th July!

      Day 11.

      Today we booked our travel to Bangkok and our bus onto Koh Samui and headed down north to a nice resort called 15 Palms, we had a lovely breakfast and then ended up staying all day chilling on the beach. There were surprisingly big waves to mess about in. We left after sunset and got some pizzas and had them back at our bungalow, as we are up early for a full day snorkling trip. We are stopping at 4 islands and going into the national marine park. We are super excited for tomorrow!

    • Día 197

      Auf dem Weg nach Koh Chang

      28 de julio de 2023, Tailandia ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

      Wie der Blitz sind wir gestern mit einem kleinen Flugzeug in den Osten von Thailand gereist. ✈️ Genauer gesagt nach Rayong. Dort hatten wir nur eine Zwischenübernachtung geplant. 🛎️
      Um 10.00 Uhr heute morgen wurden wir von unserem Minivan abgeholt und auf die Insel Koh Chang gebracht. 🏝️Die Reise dauerte am Ende 7 Stunden. Die Thailänder haben ein langes Wochenende, da die Queen Geburtstag hat und ein heiliger Buddhatag ist. 👸Somit war einiges los auf den Strassen. Bei der Fähre standen wir über eine Stunde, da soviele Autos auf die Fähre wollten.

      Aber wie immer, sind wir gut angekommen. Wir hausen im Natur Beach Resort. Ein eigenes Bungalow und der Ausblick auf das offene Meer haben die 7 Stunden Fahrt in Vergessenheit geraten lassen. 🌊

      Nun haben wir eine Planänderung für die nächsten 10 Tage. Eigentlich wollten wir noch zwei weitere Inseln besuchen- dies ist jedoch aktuell nicht möglich ohne zurück aufs Festland zu müssen. Somit planen wir aktuell um und schauen, wie es in den nächsten Tagen weitergeht bevor wir das Land verlassen. 🛃🧳

      Grüsse

      Hey Everybody!

      Seit ein paar Tagen geniessen wir das Inselleben auf Koh Chang. 🏝️
      Gestern haben wir einen Fischermarkt besucht und haben die Inselseite etwas erkundet. 🐠
      Heute waren wir auf einem Aussichtspunkt und anschliessend im Zentrum.

      Aktuell haben wir einen Roller gemietet. Der rote Flitzer. 🛵❣️
      Bei uns ist alles paletti. Heute sind wir 200 Tage auf Weltreise! 🤩🧳🎉

      Tschüss ✋🏼

    • Día 204

      Die Geisterstadt

      4 de agosto de 2023, Tailandia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

      Hallihallo! 👋🏻

      In zwei Tagen verlassen wir die schöne Insel Koh Chang. Doch bevor wir die nächste Reise in Angriff nehmen, mussten wir noch eine spezielle Gegend erkunden! 🤨🧐

      Die Geisterstadt von Koh Chang! Jawoll - wir zwei Angsthasen waren da!😱👻

      Die Geisterstadt war bis 2012 eine riesen Hotelanlage. Aus einem Schiff wurde ein 5 Sterneresort gebaut. 🚢
      Doch danach wurde der spezielle Erholungsort verlassen und ist nun dem Zerfall ausgesetzt. 🏚️
      Warum diese Gegend verlassen wurde, weiss man nicht. Einige glauben, dass es keine Baugenehmigung für das Hoteldorf gab. Andere erzählen von Merkwürdigen Selbstmorden - wonach die Anlage geschlossen wurde.

      Die Hausboote brechen auseinander, sind rostig. Ganz zu Schweigen von dem riesen Schiffshotel- welches einen grusligen Beigeschmackt hat.
      Ob Aberglaube oder Betrug- es war abenteuerlich!😎👏🏻🤩

      Danach besuchten wir einen Wasserfall. Eine kurze Strecke durch dichten Dschungel- dann hatten wir den Wasserfall auch schon erreicht. Schön wars. 🚿

      Auf der Rückfahrt mit unserem roten Flitzer sahen wir noch einige Affengruppen. Die Aufgabenverteilung auf dem Töffli ist klar verteilt: Alessandra navigiert sehr exakt und pippgenau und Noemi fährt die Route ab, welche dirigiert wird. Ein kleiner Ausschnitt im Video. Den restlichen Tag haben wir am Pool verbracht. 🏊‍♀️

      Adieu! 👸🏽👸🏾
