A Return to Koh Chang

For those of you who live in Thailand and beyond, as the island is the east coast of Thailand in Trat province, is the largest island in the east. This may be the only visitors in the last five or six years, the island has attracted international. Yet, tourism is taking off now, of course, and as the island is a tourist attraction a complete cross section. During this visit, among others, I met with Latvia and Israel Italy Access backpack catering business, and a couple that is obviously more than a little money in the bank. The hotel industry, the locals have done a good job for such a wide range of tourist accommodations. I have not really felt the "local", which actually came from Wales in a long time ago that the price of a B500 model (the United States a series of bit 1 '= 35 U.S. dollars. 5Baht) every night until the B35, 000! It was decided that a long weekend in Koh Chang for my birthday, my birthday is always during holidays (October 23, belong to one of the lucky ones, the anniversary of Rama V or King Chulalongkorn Day, as requested), I went bus station Ekamai. This time I chose the right bus companies, travel Chedchai, buy a B275 one-way ticket, Dale. Tourism Cherchai bus blue and white. Do not work with red paint blue and white bus. When it stopped, and normally up to two hours more Cherdchai Tour! Five hours later, I'm a small town near the takeoff of the Smart car, where are the people friendly taxi "orange" to meet, working mainly with my great surprise selection box orange. They provide with the traffic and the ferry to Koh Chang you, and even the return tickets. The ferry ride is very good, providing outstanding video you get to the island. There are options to suit your windows, put your hand Wai Man and another 10 for other passengers gathered around you want to go. On this occasion, I went to the white sand beach, this is a lot of swimming for the first time the west coast. Lost in the Paloma Resort & Spa, I had met my "friend" Oy, Kun, who has spent some 'beer, I gave her, and some local food, and of course, a games Pool few! Some people have told me that Palomar provide first-class accommodation, but I prefer to stay in a small cottage that still exist on Elephant Island, although more modern hotel, the construction / holiday. Air cottage reasonable ? conditioning, cable TV, hot / cold shower every night about the cost of the B750. Koh Chang offers a full range of activities. Island hopping, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking and kayaking, elephant riding, guided tours of some of the most impressive waterfalls, the beautiful beach of refrigeration, and so on! I chose this event was off-road ATV, or all-terrain vehicle. Brilliant fun, provides a reasonable sense of the stimulus, but also provide an excellent field of vision. ATV Tours in Wan Chai Chet, Klong around near the beach. ATV Tours excuses, but I lost your number! However, their leaflets may be everywhere, like the island. If cooking is your hobby, then as the island does not disappoint. Your style food name, you can find! My favorite place to eat, the so-called "Thai food & Isaan. It may have something more formal, but which has been translated from the outside, I can only "sign restaurant." Do not expect from three stores, restaurants, large, comfortable environment in a combination of housing. However, the food excellent, with Thailand, free translation of the menu in English, and, in particular, a reasonable price. 5 are sufficient, we chose the sweet and sour fish in the sea, shrimp and green curry, spicy Isaan incredible yam (salad), vegetables, and so on. With the pair of large "bottle of beer Leo", the costs are just around the corner B700. In a restaurant can be found on the white sandy beaches to the south up the slope to the left, "Thailand and Isaan food," is 2005 meters along the road KCTV (Elephant Island TV). Happy eating! As usual, a big hello to my friend in the area of the site in Thailand, the World Wide Web thailandwebzone. Of COM, which is Thailand's new social networking and community websites in Thailand. Forum was an article in Thailand and Thailand to meet more people, share photos, music and videos, find and report on Thailand's tourist information. Making new friends from all over the world!

However, the darkness of the island decreases when more and more people are aware of the tourism potential of the island and make a trip this relatively quiet and unspoilt Iceland Thai resort.
With more and more domestic and foreign tourists insist on Koh Chang for their holiday vacation, a developer and owner of the hotel in order to exploit this potential market.
