Arrived today on Koh Chang, the smaller one on the west coast. We've travelled alot in Thailand before - I lived here for a year and a half almost ten years ago - so this is one of the islands we've both never been to.
Strange mix of people - mostly German and the vast majority stay long term - months on end. It's a really quiet chilled place - would be amazing to come and spend a couple of months here if you had a thesis to write - just a laptop and a case full if books and you could have the perfect place for writing! It really seems like one of the last places in Thailand which has not been developed very much yet.
We spent about 10 days here in the end - just reading and relaxing in the hammocks and eating amazing food. We had a few nights out at one of the prearranged parties in a beach bar but mostly it was Angel kicking ma ass every night at darts or cards with a few beers or Cuba Libres. We extended our stay a couple of times coz we were soooo relaxed... But in the end we decided it would be a shame not to check out the neighbouring island, Ko Payam which was supposed to have a younger crowd and a but more nightlife....
