Koh Chang

A four day holiday on the island of Koh Chang was a fun relaxing way to spend the last few days of the first part of my time in Thailand. My girlfriend Prang and I spent almost a day on buses, boats and minivans getting to the island. We arrived late at night to a small guesthouse with shacks on Lonely Beach. It was difficult in the rain and darkness to appreciate the location. All I could hear while I was trying to sleep was the noise of the tattooist only meters from our bed. We decided we would move the following morning to a better guesthouse.

Although when we woke the following morning to see the empty beach and clean water we decided to stay at same guesthouse but move away from the tattoo shack. Ko Chang is one of the biggest islands in Thailand and Lonely Beach was at one time Lonely but now full of tourists.

We spent the first day relaxing on the beach enjoying the sun. After one full day on the beach we decided the following day to move to a different part of the island. I really wanted to ride an elephant therefore we moved closer to where the elephant camp was set up.

We stayed another night at the Blue Lagoon resort without a tattoo parlour in sight. We organized and went on an elephant ride before returning to eat  some very delicious fish on the beach to end our time on the island.
