We're just coming back from a small island near the little Ko Chang on the west coast just near Burma. It's called Ko Payam and Angel went walking and found an amazing bay with clear green water on the north side of the island AND a hut which opens out onto the sea. It wasn't overlooked at all so you could wander round nude as long as you didn't mind the occasional snorkeller getting an eyeful! Absolutely loved the place - a definite highlight of the trip so far!
The island itself is a bit busier than Ko Chang but it's still pretty quiet and the beaches are much much nicer. On the north side where we are, they're just idyllic.
Although we only had three nights on Ko Payam (we could have had longer but we had almost run out of cash and no ATMs anywhere), Angel still managed to make us spend one entire day walking the whole length of the island and back! It was almost 14km in total in the boiling hot sun.. I was so knackered by the time I stopped for a drink of water that I failed to notice a scorpion crawling on my foot. I kicked it off and then a Thai woman took a hammer and bludgeoned it to death, not a very Buddhist thing to do, but I think she was more horrified at the thought of one of her customers being stung by it.
