WOW, I have been blessed with seeing a lot of amazing things in my life but I was like a kid at Disneyland for the first time when I arrived here. Never have I seen water so clear. I cannot remember a time where I could be swimming, look down and see my feet...along with all the cool fishies and the bottom of the ocean! Except for this one time while swimming in Long Island sound...haha so kidding. Anyways its beautiful here. I spent the long weekend of the King's Birthday on this Island. The island is a national park and has many other smaller Islands around it that are part of Koh Chang Marine Park. The island is a jungle with one road around it. Along the road there are many beaches and towns that pop up. We chose to stay at the backpacker favorite of lonely beach (not so lonely nowadays). Here there are great cheap bungalows to stay at and a great stretch of beach...and everything is basically geared towards to younger crowd. Day 1 I spent on the popular beach, swimming meeting new people watching a guy get a full stomach tattoo on the beach you know the usual. Then day 2 I headed for a more serene bay where I read and relaxed on a private dock all day. After this I headed to this natural spa down the street. This place was awesome it used the natural foliage to create a mini oasis and in the middle was an herbal sauna . It was very local...the lady literally pulled the treatment products out of the fridge and I applied them while sipping on pure carrot and ginger juice. Also all the products were edible...literally the body moisturizer was tamirn, milk and honey and even though I did not try it, it received rave reviews for tastiness from my friend. I have to say I love the accessibility of natural products here. Besides at this spa the main pharmacy in Bangkok, Boots, has an entire natural line for great prices....just ask my friends I never leave there emp
ty handed. So after the spa we headed to this fishing pier...because as I have always learned from Jack the best fish you can get is at the pier because it was swimming just a few minutes ago! Here I enjoyed a fabulous meal. The table was on the pier and then your feet hung under it and it was glass so you could see the water...literally the fish. I have provided a picture because I do not think my description is giving it justice. The photographer me is sitting at the table and looking down. Anyways here at Buddha View I ate the best fish I have had in a long time. Snapper fresh from the dock...yum. Well Koh Chang proved to be awesome and I cannot wait to get down to the even more tropical islands for New Years! For more pictures check out the link on my profile.
