Koh Wai, Thailand: A Perfect Day on Paradise Island

While staying on Koh Chang I went on a day trip to Koh Wai, a very small crescent-shaped island 6 km south of Koh Chang. Koh Wai is a fairly uninhabited quiet island paradise with no villages, no shops, no roads, no traffic, no cars, no motorbikes, no parties, very limited electricity and just primitive bungalows in paradise.I bought the day trip to Koh Wai at a local travel shop in Bailan Bay for 600B including all transportations, a 50B voucher for

Exploring Koh Chang on a Day Trip Around the Island, Thailand

Koh Chang, the green elephant island in the far northeastern part of the Gulf of Thailand, is the third largest island in Thailand. As I did not want to rent a scooter and drive around the island myself I decided to book a day trip to see what the island has to offer.Next morning at around 9 o’clock a songthaew taxi came to pick me up from the hotel and we headed towards the northern part of the island. At White Sand Beach we picked up

Beaches and Villages of Koh Chang, Thailand

During my stay in Klong Prao and Bailan Bay on Koh Chang I explored lots of other villages and beaches of the island, too, as I am a person who gets easily bored staying in place for a long time. The west coast of Koh Chang accommodates the longest and most beautiful beaches and of course most tourists also find their way there. All villages and beaches have a very different type of feeling and vibe, and I think I chose very wisely staying in Klong Prao and Bailan Bay.

White Sand Beach is the most developed and also the busiest village on Koh Chang with lots of restaurants, bars, night clubs, cafes, supermarkets and shops along the main road. I did not particularly like

Bailan Bay is a very sleepy little village, a true haven of peace and quiet for people like me who like things easy. There are some simple

Koh Chang: Quiet Beach Life by Blue Lagoons and Green Mountains in Klong Prao, Thailand

During my island hopping adventures in Thailand my first destination was the Elephant Island of Koh Chang in Trat archipelago. I stayed the first 5 nights in the small village of Klong Prao that lies on one of the few flat areas of land on the west coast of Koh Chang.

In Klong Prao the beach is split into three sections by lagoons and inland waterways, the klongs. This means a river estuary in the north and a
