Today, we will take our friends on a trip to the sea at Koh Chang.
Traveling to Koh Chang is not difficult.
We can take a van or bus from Ekamai Bus Terminal.
A van is recommended as it can take you directly to the port.
The ferry fare for a four-wheel drive vehicle to Koh Chang is 100 baht for a one-way trip.
Driver and passenger, one-way 80 baht.
The first ferry departs at 6:00 AM.
For my part, it is more convenient to drive.
Upon arriving at Koh Chang, we drove to our accommodation to store our belongings.
This time, we stayed at Khlong Prao Resort. For more information about the resort, please visit:

Upon arrival, we checked in and left our luggage in our room to rest before continuing our journey.
The deluxe room we stayed in this time cost 3,000 baht per night. The room was quite spacious and had a balcony, TV, and refrigerator.
The bathroom features a separate bathtub, wet and dry zones.
Soap and shampoo are available.
Drinks, tea, coffee, safes, casual wear, and slippers are available.
We then ventured out to explore the resort.
The resort's spacious grounds create a sense of openness and prevent feelings of claustrophobia.
The resort boasts a large lagoon, offering guests the opportunity to kayak from the resort directly to the sea.
The accommodation options include bungalows (standard), hotels (superior, deluxe), and villas.

The hotel also boasts a swimming pool, complete with a decorative waterfall that adds to the ambiance. The pool bar offers refreshments, and the pool itself is situated right on the beach.
If you're looking to enjoy the ocean, Khlong Prao Resort is the perfect spot. Situated directly on the beach, the resort offers easy access to the pristine waters. The calm waves and gentle breeze create a relaxing atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for swimming, sunbathing, or simply soaking up the stunning coastal views.
This evening, we dined at a restaurant called Rim Haad, located at Khlong Prao Resort. As the name suggests, the restaurant offers seating by the beach, allowing diners to enjoy the scenic views. Alternatively, guests can opt to dine within the restaurant's interior.

The beachfront restaurant is an open-air space, allowing guests to enjoy the sea breeze.
Today's meal included a seafood set. The seafood was undoubtedly fresh, as the restaurant is located near the sea.
Stir-fried stingray with chili paste. This is the first time I've eaten stingray meat, and it's quite firm.
This pineapple curry is not for me, as I don't enjoy pineapple in savory dishes.
This shrimp chili paste is delicious, with a strong aroma of shrimp paste and a full-bodied flavor.
Note: Fire baton shows are held daily at 8:00 PM at the beachfront restaurants.
We had breakfast at the Feuang Fah Restaurant this morning.
The restaurant offers a buffet menu with a variety of options, including fried rice, pork porridge, fish porridge, sausages, ham, and fried eggs.
Omelette, chicken nuggets, pork with sauce, vegetable salad, bakery, and cake.

This morning, we rushed to eat breakfast because we had booked a four-island diving trip and didn't want to be late.
The 4-island snorkeling trip includes Koh Rang, Koh Yak Lek, Koh Yak Yai, and Koh Wai. The price is around 600 baht per person. This is a slow boat trip, so it is recommended to bring your own snacks and drinks.
We boarded the boat at Ao Bang Baeo. Snorkeling equipment was provided, while fins were available for rent at 100 baht per day.
We sailed for almost an hour before reaching the first island, known as "Small Giant Island." This small island features visible underwater rocks and a moderate amount of visible sea anemones. Non-swimmers can hold onto ropes for support.
Followed by Koh Rang, an island with crystal-clear water. During December, the water is likely even clearer than this.
Koh Rang will be our lunch stop. We will have lunch here.
Rice with approximately 2 curries.
Rice with approximately 2 curries.
The boat will open a slide for us to play on. Those who want to walk on Rang Island can swim to the island.
After lunch, we traveled to Koh Yak Yai, another popular diving spot.
The coral and sea anemones are less abundant here compared to Giant Island.
Finally, we arrive at Waii Island, which is teeming with fish, making it an ideal location for snorkeling and interacting with these aquatic creatures.
After finishing our dive, we took a boat back to shore around 4:30 PM. We then returned to our accommodation.
Today, we went out to find food at the Koh Chang Walking Street, which is located along the road of Klong Prao Beach. The food available included papaya salad, grilled chicken, barbecue, fried rice, and noodles, in a street food style. While this might be exciting for tourists, for us Thais, it was nothing special.

We had breakfast at the same place as usual this morning. The menu has changed a bit.
The staples that remain unchanged are sausages, ham, fried eggs, rice porridge, and fried rice.
In addition to accommodation and restaurants, Khlong Prao Resort also has a coffee shop.
Wari Coffee offers freshly brewed coffee, smoothies, and Italian sodas.
This restaurant is also located by the sea, with both outdoor and indoor seating. Personally, I'm not a big fan of coffee, so I'll have a blueberry soda instead.
After checking out of Klong Prao Resort, we drove to the viewpoint with the red mailbox on Koh Chang.
This viewpoint is a popular spot on Koh Chang Island, offering stunning panoramic views of the turquoise waters, spanning almost 180 degrees. Its accessibility, with ample parking available, makes it a convenient destination for visitors.
After taking photos at the viewpoint, it was time to head back. On the way back, if we lingered too long,
The ferry queue is very long, and it will take a long time to drive back to Bangkok.
This concludes our trip to Koh Chang. See you again soon!
