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 …
Koh Chang Songkran Parade 2012
As with the past few years, Koh Chang has held its own Songkran celebration a week or two after the official Thai New Year holiday. This happens in other places in Thailand, usually in areas that have a lot of descendents from Mon people – originally hailing from what is …
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 …
Koh Chang Songkran 2012 (Day 2)
These photos were taken this afternoon around the Kai Bae, Klong Prao and White Sand beach areas. The island is pretty packed but most of the Thai visitors aren’t out chucking water around. So whilst you will get soaked if you venture out in the busy areas, anyone staying, for …
Koh Chang Songkran 2012 (Day 1)
No one is safe . . .
Last year I went to Koh Mak to escape Songkran – as it is a very low key affair down there. As I’m here this year I thought I’d post a few pics of the water throwing & general revelry around the island. Today’s …
Koh Chang Wallpaper – an Easter Present
I get a few people asking about the photos they see on this site and I am always happy to send people copies if they want to use one for wallpaper on their computer to remind them of the island. I’ve also occasionally sent people better quality versions of photos …
The Build Up to ‘Oversong on the Beach’ Concert on Koh Chang
Tomorrow, March 31, at 4pm sees the start of the biggest concert ever to take place on Klong Prao beach. The weirdly named ‘Oversong on the Beach’ I don’t know what an oversong is but I can only assume that in Thinglish it has a good meaning.
Anyway the past few …
The East Coast of Koh Chang By Bicycle
I fancied a bit of exercise the other today and wanted a change from my usual cycling route on the west coast so I decided on heading down the east of the island. This is a much nicer road to ride on as there is virtually no traffic, plus for …
Koh Mak in Photos
It had been a while since I was on Koh Mak so here are a few photos from March 2012 trip. By the beach things are pretty much the same, Baan Koh Mak is back with the original owner and has been renovated and is once a gain a great …
Koh Klum – Worth the effort?
It’s the question on everyone’s lips as they stand on Bangbao pier and see this big island which lies around 7 kilometres to the south. The island is Koh Klum and from a distance it certainly is an impressive sight as it’s mountainous and pretty big – almost 4Km in …
Koh Chang’s Home For Retired Elephants
This is something I found which will appeal to anyone with a sense of humour and whimsy. A home for retired elephants on Koh Chang . . .
“Each Koh Chang Elephant has its own history and is now in retirement on Koh Chang. He/she is specially chosen by Kingphant to join …
