A bit of a belated update partly because it is the start of Low Rainy Green Season, and so there’s not a lot happening here and partly because I decided to do a quick trip to Cambodia as the last time I visited Siem Reap was about 15 years ago …
Siem Reap to Koh Chang
Over the past few years I have noticed a big increase in the number of people who are making the most of a two week holiday by combining the wonders of Angkor Wat with the beaches of Koh Chang. People who do this tend to be those who have already …
A Bike Tour to Beng Melea ( For anyone visiting Siem Reap )
A lot of people now combine Siem Reap and Koh Chang during their trips to this part of the world. I recently went to Siem Reap, partly as I hadn’t been there for around 15 years, and had heard it had changed a little in the meantime and partly to …

The Koh Chang Weather For April 2012
The Koh Chang weather for April 2012, from the Klong Prao Meteorological Office, i.e. outside my window. Quite a wet month, with some very hot weather to end with. Although there were quite a few rainy days, the vast majority of rain falls overnight. So by early morning the skies …

April 23
Plenty of joyous New Year spirit in this update. Songkran has been and gone, but ‘Songkran 2′ is just around the corner. The main days for water throwing were the 13,14,15 April but on 27 & 28 April Koh Chang will have its own celebration. The build up to this …

Now this is the sort of boat I’d like to have. Combined kayak & sailing catamaran. Fast, stable & fun.
This video is from a group who brought their Hobie Adventure Island kayaks to Koh Chang and did a trip down to the islands south of Koh Chang in them. Starting …
Koh Chang Slum Tours ( and some great views )
You know what it’s going to be like, you’ll be by the pool in your swish resort on Koh Chang with the family and the kids will be playing up, “Please Dad, I want to gawp at some poor people and also avail myself of some cracking views. Please Dad. …
Koh Chang Songkran 2012 (Day 3)
For the last official day of the Thai New year celebrations I thought I would focus more on the traditional side of things rather than the water throwing. The use of water cannon during Thai New year has its origins in the practice of politely pouring water over the hands …
