| Koh Chang |
| Koh Chang is a little piece of paradise lying only about five hours outside of Bangkok. Althought this island has recently been earmarked for high-end development, it is still relatively lazy and has not become another Pattaya just yet. In the midst of preparing for an unexpected return to Japan, I managed to get down to Koh Chang to enjoy some lazing about with Krista. Since we got flooded out of our Koh Tao beach paradise, we gave beach-bumming another go here on Chang. I hoped to spend loads more time with Krista, but I suddenly found myself in a whirlwind of visas and packing. Still, I managed to get in a solid week of beach fun. |
| My first stop on Koh Chang was here at Lonely Beach. The beach was quiet and beautiful and my bungalow looked out over the bay. Paradise! |
| In spite of having found heaven on a strip of beach, I soon moved into the more inhabited area of White Sand Beach, where I met up with Krista and spent a lovely week hanging around and doing very little day and night. |
| Yup. White Sands is where the cool cats hang out. Tee hee! |
| And hanging out is exactly what I did. Nothing to do but lay back in the shade, collect shells and watch the sunset. Oh yes, and play with fire. |
| And, uh, sword fight, too... |
| Yes, a very good holiday indeed. Minimum sunburning (miraculously) and maximum coconut lahssi drinking. Now that`s what I call a holiday! There was one important element missing, however. Ryota was not on holidays, so I had to play without him. I want to say, `poor lonely me!` but I think Ryota takes top honours for waiting it out here in the jungle whilst I soaked up the sun and surf. My hero! |
