Ko Chang

The next island we visited was called Ko Chang. A benefit of this island was well-paved roads, which made the moped riding much more enjoyable and safe. There were 2 main benefits to travelling to Thailand at this time of year. First of all, its not the peak tourist season, so prices are lower and its much less crowded. Also, its the rainy season. While this meant less sunbathing opportunities, it was a great escape from the extreme heat and humidity when it rained at least once a day - warm, heavy rain without wind.


This was our bungalo. At first we really didn't like the place because it was so far from everything else on the island, but it grew on us. Quiet and peaceful, right by the ocean - we fell alseep our first night to the sound of pouring rain on the roof and the waves hitting the shore.


First thing in the morning Clayt and I went for a walk along the beach to check out our new surroundings. Swings and hammocks were scattered here and there.


Exploring the island on moped gave us lots of views like this one. It was a very sunny and very hot day, so the moped ride was a nice way to keep cool while exploring the sights.


Here's the two of us at one of the scenic viewing spots. There were so many little islands off shore - we wish we had had time to explore some of them.


After a long day of riding mopeds, it was discovered I had forgetten to put sunblock on my legs! Hence the goofy sunburn line from where clayt's body (i rode behind him on a moped) shaded only part of my leg.
