A few days in Ko Chang


Ko Chang is an island in SE Thailand. I spent 4 days there. The beaches are beautiful. There are good snorkeling spots and beautiful waterfalls with swiming holes under them. I took a day tour to 3 snorkeling spots in neighboring islands. We got hit by pretty hard rain on the way out, but it passed, and the views on the reefs and beaches were nice. I'm sorry to report we did not find Nemo, but many of his relatives were in sight.
Another day was spent visiting waterfalls and on the beach. Being the off season, I missed the big crowds. One of the falls had almost no one there, and the pools were perfect for swiming, and deep enough for diving into them. A word of caution: if you wear contacts and dive in, remember to close your eyes before hitting the water. I didn't and lost my left contact (which I have managed to replace in Bangkok).
The time on the island was very relaxing. I plan to visit other islands in the south, and may even get certified for SCUBA. We'll see. For now, I'm off to Bangkok for a few days to plan my next travels.
