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 …

Signs of the Times
Just a few photos of signs up around Lonely Beach, Koh Chang. It is still a backpacker hangout but slowly moving more upmarket. You can still find some dirt cheap accommodation, but anyone staying here will notice that prices for essentials such as food & beer aren’t particularly cheap. More …
Kai Bae at Night. The Village That Never Sleeps*.
* Disclaimer: It does.
I happened to be in Kai Bae last night so I took a few pics, just had time for a quick run round so no prize winning pics here. This was around 9pm, so I probably missed all the wild and crazy nightlife. Either that or many …
Bangbao’s Beach Bars
Think Bangbao and you automatically think of the dive shops,souvenir junk, seafood restaurants and local idiots on scooter riding down the narrow pier expecting everyone else to leap out of the way & stand precariously close to the water so that they can pass unhindered.

White Sand Beach at Night

Klong Son Fishing Village
Between the ferry piers and White Sand beach you will find the village of Klong Son. You probably wont pay much attention to it when you arrive as it is a pretty nondescript type of place, you will pass by a builder’s merchant, 7-eleven, a couple of concrete mixing plants …
Lonely Beach Pics

Aerial Photos of Our ‘Hood – Klong Life
Some recent photos of the estuary in the centre of Klong Prao beach. This area is hidden from view if you are on the beach and also can’t be seem from the main road, so the majority of visitors to Koh Chang don’t know it exists. Similarly, many people working …
Long Beach – Change is on the Way
Located at the end of a potholed, hilly dirt road, 6km from the nearest hamlet, Long Beach is one of the few remaining ‘unspoiled’ beaches on Koh Chang. But things are slowly changing . . .
First there was Long Beach Resort – budget huts at the north end of the …

First the good stuff. These pics take you from the far southern end of White Sand beach up to the far north at White Sand Beach Resort. To walk this takes around 30 minutes. You will find the nicest sand at the far north of the beach but if a …
