18 December
A not particularly seasonal update as Christmas begins at 0000 on 25 December and ends at 2359 on 25 December and that’s long enough for me to get my fill of Jingle Bells. One of the things I will be missing out on, unlike many of you reading this, is …
4 December
I had a couple of days down on Koh Mak to see what was new and exciting for the upcoming high season. Koh Kham looks a real mess due to the construction of luxury homes – which at present resemble large rabbit hutches. But if you want to get away …
22 November
A few obligatory Loy Krathong photos from the temple and last night below. This year things seemed to be a bit subdued, not as many people out celebrating, no good fireworks and a lot of unsold krathongs at the end of the night. The temple fair was where anyone who …
11 November
Yes, you can really buy a t-shirt featuring what I have always considered to be the island’s most underrated tourist attraction – the rocketship postbox at the Kai Bae viewpoint. Available only at the viewpoint itself, just wake the guy who is manning the souvenir stand up and you can …

Something different to start off with. Above is a little guide to activities on Koh Chang that I put together with Coco Dee Bo Tours in Chai Chet. The reason for doing it is that I know quite a few people print out large chunks of this site …
13 October
I had planned to post a few pretty pictures of Salakphet, Wai Chaek beach and some of the views around the mainland in Chantaburi this update. However, the ‘Great Landslide of Koh Chang’™ which occurred early morning on 11 October has taken precedence. One woman died, her husband was trapped …
September 30
A lovely end to September with the last two weeks being as near to perfect rainy season weather as you could wish for. Sure there were a few heavy downpours and the odd thunderstorm but on most days the sun shone, the sea was calm and clear and there were …
September 16
Yet another belated, rainy season update, due mainly to not much of interest happening here and partly due to me spending time going through the site updating it for the coming high season. A job that takes twice as long as it should due to me easily being distracted by …
August 29
For anyone who has never stayed in a hotel catering to mainly Chinese guests, the choice between going for the breakfast buffet or a cold beer instead, isn’t one that requires much deliberation.
A belated update as I was on holiday for a couple of weeks, plus nothing of interest has …
August 5
Before I get to the weather, a well deserved mention for Koh Chang tourism chiefs who launched the ‘Koh Chang Grand Sale 2010′ with a flurry of banners placed strategically above the road - so that any drivers trying to crane their necks to read them would probably hit a …
23 July
Been busy for the last week or so trying to write a few articles about Koh Chang for a new guidebook to Thailand that should be out later this year. So my creative juices have been channeled towards trying not to appear to be too much of a twat in …
8 July
We’ll get the serious stuff out of the way first. Something strange is going on with the dolphin population around Koh Chang as they are dropping like flies. Most likely due to being caught in fishermen’s nets and then drowning. When people say they would like to swim with dolphins, …
