It will be great, Danny, That hotel is right next door to my favorite beach where I usually go on a daily basis. Looking forward seeing you and Sai on Wednesday

You're just being modest 😊 Not a fan of the drive either, especially when I had to drive the owner's monster HILUX but with a nice little car it could be quite enjoyable

4 hours would be a safe bet with a couple of coffee stops. there is also a so called VIP bus Service between pattaya and koh Chang, quite comfortable and they take you to the island they pick you up at your address and they drop you off at your destination. Price ranges between five and seven hundred baht depending on company Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

There are baht buses going up and down on the Main road but not as cheap as Pattaya, you have to negotiate the price. Motorbike rental is cheap and the best solution in my opinion. rental bikes are everywhere Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk

Nice to be here

The ferry starts operating at 6:30 a.m and runs throughout the day, the last one coming around 19:00 but need to verify that. The crossing time is about 30 min utes and it's cheap, 120 baht per vehicle and 80 baht per person.

The first time I visited Koh Chang was almost nine years ago. Other than there's a Makro, BigC and of course a few Tesco Lotus branches now, the island hasn't changed much. It could be due to the fact that the majority of it is a national park and the rather smaller part that holds resorts and small businesses is in the hands of basically five families. All those who ventured into having some sort of businesses in Koh Chang are paying rent to one of those. When my good friend M. asked me if I wanted to manage his bar in Koh Chang, I was ecstatic. The Bars The nightlife here isn’t the same as in Pattaya but if you do a bit of a research, you may find your diamond in the rough here as well. The whole nightlife is basically falls on the West side of the island. First you have White Sand Beach, here there’s one bar complex along the main road, then you have Lonely Beach in the South, which is home of the clubs, discos, this is here all the youngsters are with all the sex&dogs&rock and roll. Somewhere in the middle lies Chai Chet with all its small beer bars along the road, that is where my bar is. It’s called Princess.

This island has a soul. Something like Bali

Koh Chang has a much better vibe to it - unless you're a teenager...

I love it here but business sucks

Also toying with the idea of starting a thread about it

It would be fabulous but not sure if you ever come around these neck of the woods. I'm in Koh Chang since October, managing a small bar.

Thank you. I hope they still do, just need to work on my post count to get to the right level ☺️
