Island paradise in Koh Chang

And then became the day that we left the thick air and crowds of Bangkok behind for some real beach life. Though we did not even get to DiCaprio's "the beach", this was enough for a Finnish guy..






After a 7-hour trip by bus, boat and taxis we arrived to the White Sand Beach of Koh Chang. Curiosity of that trip was that it cost 370 baht from the beginning (about 7,5 euros). The hostel we took was quite exotic and rugged but cheap. For low-budgeters I can recommend Bo's Independent hostel in the northern side of the beach (see picture). Basically it was a group of falling-apart bungalows on a mountainside, 5 meters from the sea (just out of the picture). The view was quite reasonable, though (the above picture).
