Thailand's Koh Chang | A Carefree Off-the-Beaten-Path Island Vacation
🚢 【How to Get There】 📍 Take the 999 bus from Bangkok's Ekkamai Bus Terminal to Laem Ngop. There is only one bus per day at 7:45 AM, arriving at 1:30 PM. The return bus is at 2:30 PM, and the round trip costs 552🐷. 📍 The ferry ticket to the island is 80🐷. She also sells tickets for tuk-tuk rides to hotels (Koh Kai Beach is 100). In the off-season, just buy it from her. On the island, it takes 7-8 people to get a tuk-tuk for 80🐷. Waiting for enough people during the off-season takes too long. Book a tuk-tuk in advance at your hotel's front desk for a 12:30 PM departure. 🌴 【Main Attractions】 📍 Kai Bae Viewpoint: The best place to watch the sunset on Koh Kai, just turn right at the end of the main road and go up a huge slope. 📍 White Sand Beach: The most dining options, with large supermarkets Makro and Big C. 📍 Khlong Prao Beach: Concentration of ATVs and elephants🐘. 📍 Koh Kai Beach: Opposite is a deserted island🏝. If you're not afraid of the sun during the day, you can rent a kayak and paddle over. 📍 Lonely Beach: The sand is very nice, but it's the farthest. After passing through mountain S-roads, there's a concentration of monkeys🐒. 📍 Mangroves: The red wooden bridge winds through the entire forest, and only a motorcycle parking fee of 10🐷 is collected. 📍 Two FREE waterfalls: Khlong Nonsi Waterfall and Si Tho Waterfall. 🌈 【Motorcycle Rental】 🌟 It's quite inconvenient on the island without a motorcycle, and Bolt taxis are useless. Rental prices across from Awa are 150-250. I chose 150, which is suitable for girls, with plenty of power and a very new bike. No passport required. ⚠️ The road from Koh Kai to Lonely is very exciting, with steep slopes and sharp bends. If you're not familiar with riding, slow down on downhill sections and pay attention to safety. 🍣 【Food】 ✅ Koh Kai Beach: 【Ban hea】 Because it's next to infinity (which is very average and expensive), which is ranked 1⃣️ in a domestic review, I accidentally ate at ban hea on the first day, and it was quite good. ✅ White Sand Beach: 【Sangtawan Resort】 The food prices are the most touching I've had, and you can watch the sunset by the sea. There's also a fire show at 8:30 PM. Koh Kai Beach Awa Resort Double breakfast (the rice noodles made by Little Fat for breakfast are very delicious). Although there is almost no beach, there are many locals collecting conchs and digging oysters on the reef after the tide goes out in the morning, and I accidentally touched a small pufferfish. 【Thai Massage】 During the 5 days on the island, I experienced different shops every day. The basic Thai massage starts at 300🐷, and there's also 250🐷 by Lonely Beach. #KlookIslandGuide #SeeYourIslandStyle #Vacation #IslandHopping #EnjoyNatureTogether #TodaysBeach #GlassySea #Thailand #KohChang
