Back again with the 3rd post. Lately, we've been free, so we've been collecting points to travel near Bangkok.

Since today is a holiday, I invited my mom to come along. Yay! Someone's paying for me now. 55555555555

So I chose to go to Koh Kham, which is currently popular. Actually, I had been there a long time ago.

Back when Koh Kham was still relatively unknown and not overrun with tourists, there was no need to queue up for tickets from the crack of dawn.

However, today, many people have been queuing since six in the morning to buy tickets for 250 baht.

Koh Kham is open every weekend and public holiday. On weekdays, if you are in a group, you can contact the island for permission to enter.

Normally there are boats running on a schedule, but today it seems like there are no scheduled runs. Instead, they are limiting the number of people who can buy tickets. It seems like the quota has been exceeded by a lot.

And the boat starts at 9 am when it's full, it leaves immediately, no need to wait.

We walked a long, long way from the parking lot. It's not even nine o'clock yet, and the sun is already burning my back.

The water level is currently receding.


Blue shirt, my mother's.


Almost at the boat. Phew, almost nine o'clock.



Please let me go on this trip too. Please, please.


When the boat arrives, hurry to find a seat on the side without sun 55555


It takes about 15 minutes to get there, but the big boat won't reach the island.

You need to take a small boat with a glass bottom for a short distance because the coastline is very rocky and the boat cannot dock.

We're on the boat! This trip isn't as adventurous as the last one. We're not focusing on diving or getting wet. We're focusing on beauty, taking pictures, and eating! 555555

The place is full of rocks.


And I told you that I'm focusing on taking pictures. 5555


Landmark Koh Kham, a short but beautiful bridge.


This is another great spot for taking photos.


Almost at Laem Laew beach, it sounds far away 555, 1 minute walk to the beach.


My mom herself is beautiful, isn't she? 555555


All the beaches you see are all there is. The island is not as big as Koh Samet.

Puffy pants... or maybe a big butt 5555555

Jumping around a hundred times, the move that got it...


Finally! Yay!


I'm almost at the end of the beach. I can see something in the distance on the right, like a headland jutting out.

Our first thought was to walk and take photos, but it was too hot. We couldn't handle it, and neither could my mom. We're old now! 55555

Koh Kham also has a viewpoint, but I didn't go there either. It's too hot!!!



I came to find a seat to avoid the sun, which is very rare. Everyone was busy reserving and laying mats under the shade of the trees until I found this corner.

Mats are available for free. Please exchange your card and pick one up.

We sat down to rest, lay down to rest for a while. Time passed noon. The shade began to be no longer shady. The stomach was hungry.


Let's grab something cold to eat for a bit.

At Koh Kham, there is a designated area for snorkeling right off the beach. The area is marked by ropes and there are soldiers on duty to ensure safety.

If you buy a 250 baht ticket, you can exchange it for a snorkel. But if you buy a 200 baht ticket, you have to pay a 50 baht rental fee.

There were kayaks too, but we didn't do anything. I told you, we came here to take pictures! 55555

And…

Just posing for photos, that's all. I'm still tanned from Koh Tao.

It's almost 1 pm, and I'm so hot. I'm going to walk back to the boat for the 1 pm round.

I'm going back now, you ask if that's all? Yes! That's all 5555

The weather is extremely hot and there is almost no shade to hide from it. There are only shadows from trees in some places.

The island also has a variety of food for sale at reasonable prices. There are also clothes and underwear for sale, in case you didn't bring a change of clothes.

Back on the shore, it's time to grab a bite to eat. So I opened the internet to see what restaurants were nearby.

I came across a restaurant called "Kien Talay", I don't know if it's delicious or famous, but the name sounds nice, so I went there for a bit. 55555

The entrance is a turn into the navy base, it's quite deep, but the atmosphere is good, by the sea.


Order food quickly!

Ordered 5 dishes, didn't take a picture of everything, so hungry. Everything was super spicy, I sweated for ten years.

After finishing the meal, we took a walk to enjoy the view and digest our food.

Smile a little, okay?

Have we been so focused on distant things that we've forgotten to pay attention to what's close by?

Those who want to come to the island, please come on Saturday and Sunday, as the island will be closed on May 16th and will not reopen until the end of the year.

It's past three in the afternoon. Let's go home. See you again on the next trip.
