Minimarts, tour agencies, other minimarts and more tour agencies - all the essentials covered.

Backsound club - the nearest thing to a hip & happening nite spot on Koh Chang. If you thought dance music was dead, think again it's still alive in all it's un-hummable glory here.

And to think that this could be your home from home for only a hundred baht a night.

The deck at the Treehouse restaurant. Dine on banana pancakes and toned down Thai food and meet loads of folks from your own country. It's what travelling is all about.

If this was pantomime you'd be 'Booing' now. Capitalist pigs, in the shape of the posh Bhumiyama Resort, are starting to take over backpacker land.

The new restuarant at Nature Beach Resort . . . nice. Slowly bungalow resorts are being spruced up as discerning backpackers are now willing to pay extra for a bit of style & comfort.

From a viewpoint up above the very north of Lonely Beach.

View north up the beach from near Siam Hut. Only stones in this part - for sand outside your room you need to be staying at Siam Beach or Nature Beach

Looking south from outside Siam Beach bungalows.

Koh Chang crowded?? Mid afternoon, in the middle of high season. Not a deckchair in sight.

Some of the bungalows have nice landscaping.
