Ko Chang

In the warm waters of the Gulf of Thailand lies the country's second largest island, Ko Chang.


One of the most artistic postboxes you are likely to ever see and what a stunning location!



The island is just one of many that make up Ko Chang National Park.


Bao Bang is a cute little village on the southern tip of the island and is built over the water. It is a great location for lunch!










Ko Chang is quite mountainous with some good jungle walks to waterholes and waterfalls, although the dry season means that they were not as wet as they can be.




The Thai new year celebration called Songkran coincided with our visit to Ko Chang. It is basically a great excuse for a water fight.



Island life is slow paced with the hot humid air. Parking yourself under a tree by the ocean is a great way to avoid using too much energy




The most difficult daily decision was whether to swim in the ocean or one of the pools at the beautiful Bhumiyama Resort




Another day comes to an end on Ko Chang.
