Thailand - Koh Chang

After a painless and uneventful flight we arrived in Bangkok, and spent a few days settling in. We were very jet lagged, and it took us ages to get into the swing of things.

After that we headed straight to Koh Chang (the same island we visited last time we were here). The weather in Thailand was not the greatest for hanging out on the beach. We had tropical down pours at least once a day, and the water was a bit murky, and often rough. despite this we spent 11 nights relaxing on the island. For the first seven nights we had a very nice room with air-con, tv, and dvd player. This filled the rainy periods well.

The weather did give us some good afternoons at the beach, when the sky cleared, and we could swim, and lie on the beach for a few hours. The waves also meant that we could have a few hours of body surfing.

We were planning to go to at least one other beach in Thailand, but with the poor weather, and a 12hr bus journey each way, we decided it wasn't worth the effort.

So after thoroughly relaxing we headed back to Bangkok for a week before flying out.
We cant wait to be back in New Zealand and see everyone.
