Our first travel spot was the island of Koh Chang. It is an island to the East of Bangkok and Koh Chang is translated to Elephant Island since the island is said to be the shape of an elephant head. I went with a group of about 14 other people and got to meet so many new people I was going to be spending the rest of my time here with. We took a 9 hour van ride from Khao San Road to the pier where we then caught a short ferry over to the island. Once we arrived we checked into our Air BnB and went and got some food along the road. Our Air BnB was an awesome villa that had a pool and access to the ocean. This was our view at the villa that we got to soak in for the weekend. The first day we got here we just hung around at the villa all day and walked to the local food vendors for food.
After we spent the first day hanging around the villa it was time to go into the city and go to the beach!! We took two song taews into town and relaxed on the beach and swam in the crystal blue ocean.
We spent the day walking around the local village and relaxing on the beach. We were there all day so at night we enjoyed a sunset dinner at one of the many restaurants that sets up tables on the beach.
After a long and relaxing day on the beach we took a song taew back to our villa and hungout in the ocean and by the pool relaxing all night. Koh Chang was an awesome first weekend trip getting to see a new side of Thailand compared to the hustle and bustle of Bangkok and Salaya.
