Songkran Temple Fair 2011
A few pics of the Songrkran Fair which is ( or was, depending on when you are reading this ) on at Klong Prao temple from 12-15 April 2011. It is basically a fundraiser for the temple. Go a long and buy a roof tile or bowl of sand to …
Fancy a Bit of Holiday Exercise?
This is what I like to do a couple of times a week if I have time. If you are staying around Klong Prao, Kai Bae or Lonely beach then this is a nice paddle for anyone reasonably fit. All you need is a kayak, hat, sunscreen or inbuilt resistance …
A Few New Koh Mak Photos
I had to take a little trip to Koh Mak this week, part business but mainly pleasure if you were interested. But I had time to ride around the island and only slightly damage a borrowed scooter whilst snapping away merrily. In this gallery there are only a couple of …
Northern Life . . . a few holiday photos
After I added a few pics of a holiday in the north of Thailand with my parents in Feb-March 2011 to the homepage, I had a few people email to ask about other photos. So here are a few of the sights that await you if you venture up to …
Coming Soon . . . Resolution Resort,Bangbao
The peninsula in the far south of Koh Chang, has been developed at a rapid pace. In the space of a few years narrow plots of land have been bought and developed on land that slopes down a steep hillside to a narrow beach below. A couple of new resorts …
The Black Sand Beach at Laem Ngop
Got to kick off this piece of insightful travel writing with the admission that I nicked the photo above off Wikipedia. Why? Because although I went to see it, I never took a photo of the actual Black Sand Beach which is having a lot of money spent it by …

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the ’Battle of Koh Chang’
First, a potted history. January 17, 1941 saw the Battle of Koh Chang take place in the waters around the south and southeast of Koh Chang. The Vichy France navy sailed down from Vietnam, surprised the Thai navy and, despite strong resistance, sank a few Thai ships, without losing …
The Delights of Klong Son Bay
Not many people take time to explore Klong Son Bay. But it is worth half a day of your valuable time. By road it is easy enough to see the inland valley and head around 3km inland to a small waterfall. But the bay itself is home to a few …
Aerial Photos of SouthEast and East of Koh Chang
It’s been a while since I posted some aerial photos. Here are some that show the comparatively undeveloped southeast and east of Koh Chang in December 2010.
I’ve added a brief description to each, so just mouse over the pics to read that and then click for the bigger picture.
Salakkok Bay by Kayak
In order to escape the crowds on New Years Eve we headed round to Salakkok Bay in the south east of the island for a spot of lunch and some paddling around the bay.
Part of the plan didn’t come to fruition as we got hungry on the way and made …
2010 in Photos
February 2010 – Treading carefully to avoid oil and blood and showing great determination in the face of other people’s adversity, this plucky tourist wasn’t going to let a fatal accident prevent her from getting to the beach.
I had planned to do one of those proper, lengthy ‘Year in Review’ …
