After a nice 14 hour ride we finally arrive in Koh Chang (Northern island in the Gulf of Thailand). It was quite late at night so we just made our way to our bungalow in the area of Bang Bao, really beautiful spot over looking the sea but the bungalows were so so so basic, no bathroom, just basically a wooded shack with a bed in it, pretty funny!
We had 2 nights booked here but I decided I needed at least a bathroom in my room so we went looking for more suitable accommodation. We met a nice Polish couple who were also moving from the bungalows and they gave us the information for this place 10 mins up the road called Gu’s Bay. So we went to check it out and it was just what we wanted, even with a pool!!! Great vibe there too, loads of backpackers just having a ace time, it was really cool.
We went on a ‘Gu’s Bay Boat Trip’ one day, which was a really cool day. The snorkeling was really impressive, loads of fish – scary! We then stopped at this deserted island and swam to the beach, white coral sand beach and turquoise waters, it was really beautiful, met some cool people on the trip who were staying at Gu’s, had a great Koh Change family vibe for the rest of our time on the island.
It was Christmas while we were on the island, which was lovely. We managed to have two Christmas dinners, one on Christmas Eve and one on Christmas day, the one on Christmas day was so good – all the trimmings including cranberry sauce! We had a big night out on Christmas Eve thanks to me looking after our money and thinking ‘buckets’ were a good idea! It was a great night though topped off with a moonlight dip in the pool.
Koh Chang was a really fantastic place to have Christmas, it’s a really lovely island, and we had such a great time there – I was really sad to leave!
