More Ko Chang





Sat here after my thai massage, drinking a nice cold beer on the beach, i am feeling extrordinarily relaxed. I've had some time to reflect on Ko Chang before heading off to Cambodia, its great fun. Its been an outstanding 5 days here, sitting on the beach, driving around on scooters and well just pissing around.
We took scooters around the island and found loads of little beaches and a "floating" village in the south, where we ate some delicious sea food at a great little restaurant with live food near the front. The roads to get there are steep and frankly pretty perilous by car or scooter, steep and bendy, but driving around on a second day the scooters helped take Bart to the ferry and then Oli and I to the little restaurant for some more great food. Food has been great overall here.. from the vendors to the restaurants, but then this is Thai food.


Our hotel was initially slightly pricey, all of £10 per night each; faaaaaaaaaaar to much, now we are living in an awesome little hut on a hill that overlooks the hill. Beach life has its advantages swings on palm trees, little thai ladies and the northern white male.. are amusing to watch. Possibly one of the best places we've been hanging out in has wifi.. (essential sadly) is an English Pub fundamentally a great time. The beaches are also great space for having piggie back racing and swings with thai compliments like "hey big lady get off swing"- although the 90 kg male under her was a good 40kg heavier.
its been great, tomorrow's bus ride is 11 hours.. will be fun.

  1. Hey dude! Looking at your pictures is like a deja-vue!

    Antwerp has been really so cold, but we prefer the cold to your shitty hot weather. At least we're not sweaty buggers like you lot :)

    Looking forward to your photographic orgy from Angkor (what?). NB: we recommend a cab for there, unless you *really* like dust. R+K
