Greetings, everyone! Welcome to my little world of travel, where I embark on my first backpacking adventure. I've been longing to embark on this journey for quite some time, but the right opportunity never presented itself. Now, fresh out of college, I seized the chance to escape the confines of home and embark on this exciting escapade. With a backpack on my shoulders and my trusty camera in hand, I set out to capture the world's beauty. So, without further ado, let's embark on this adventure together! Goooooo~~

This is my first backpacking trip and my first time writing a review. If there is anything inappropriate or wrong, I apologize in advance.

My writing skills are not the best, and I may have included too many photos.

For those who are starting in Bangkok, you can skip ahead to Day 2.

Camera used: Canon 700D

Lens: 18-135 IS STM

== Day 1 ==

After much deliberation, I decided to take the train. The train station was close by, so I figured it would be the most convenient option. However, the journey from Ubon to Koh Lan was a long one, spanning millions of light-years. I knew I would be exhausted by the time I arrived, so I decided to purchase a second-class sleeper fan ticket for the 7:30 PM train. Since there were no direct trains from Ubon to Pattaya, I booked a ticket to Bangkok. With ticket in hand, I wasted no time in packing my bags and boarding the train. At 7:30 PM, the train departed from the station. I was filled with excitement as we began our journey. Around 8:00 PM, the train staff prepared our beds and a vendor from the dining car came around selling boxed meals. I immediately climbed into my upper bunk, where the heat began to envelop me. After a while, the air became more comfortable, and I thought I was going to be roasted alive. I drifted off to sleep shortly after.

Day 2

I woke up around 6:00 am and lay in bed for a while. The train staff started to collect the beds and convert them into seats for us around 6:00 am, and breakfast was also available for purchase. {Wow, we're almost at Hua Lamphong!} Along the way, I enjoyed the scenery, watching the roads, cars, and buildings go by. Finally, at 7:30 am, the train arrived at Hua Lamphong. Feeling sticky and tired, I decided to take a shower before continuing my journey to Pattaya. Hua Lamphong has bathrooms and showers available, which is very convenient. More importantly, they are newly renovated, beautiful, and very clean. You should try it! Feeling refreshed and ready to continue my journey, I waited for the bus number 29 to take me to Victory Monument. It only took about 30 minutes to reach the monument. As I got off the bus at Victory Monument, I started looking around for where to buy tickets and board the van. I had never taken a van before, so I checked online to see where to board it. It turned out that I had to board it under the BTS Victory Monument. I walked over, as it was nearby. I boarded the Pattaya Van after getting my ticket, sat down, and took some motion sickness medication. I didn't want to vomit, haha! I fell asleep and woke up again. Wow! I'm in Pattaya!

The van will take us directly to Laem Bali Hai Pier. Why wait? Let's go and board the boat. The ride to Tha Na Ban Pier will take another 45 minutes. It feels like we're in an amusement park. TT The first step on the ground (we survived!).

I had booked my accommodation in advance. The accommodation I booked would have a car to pick me up at the pier. After I finished packing, it was time to grab my camera and backpack and get ready to explore. Let's go! Before the battle, the army must march on its stomach. I stopped by Aunt Whad's noodle shop for a bite to eat. I had seen this shop in a review, so I decided to give it a try. It did not disappoint! The food was both affordable and delicious. After I finished my noodles, the first beach I went to was Nuan Beach. But where was Nuan Beach? No problem, I'll just turn on my GPS. (But actually, there were signs.) So let's go to Nuan Beach first.

== Nuan Beach ==

Nuan Beach is a relatively quiet beach with few tourists. If you are looking for a beautiful, peaceful, and somewhat private beach, I recommend Nuan Beach.

We continued our journey, accelerating to 50 km/hr as we headed towards Haad Saem. This beach is located near Haad Nuan, and the drive offered scenic views and a touch of disorientation – a fun experience!

Sam Sand Beach

Samae Beach is slightly more lively than Nuan Beach, but it is still considered a peaceful beach with a slightly higher number of tourists than Nuan Beach.

The third beach to visit is Haad Thian, Haad Nuan, and Haad Saem. These beaches are located close to each other, allowing for easy travel between them.

== Paradise Beach ==

Thian Beach is a small beach with few tourists.

Since my arrival, I have visited three beaches, and it is getting late. However, I will continue my journey to Haad Ta Hwan and Haad Sangwan, which are popular tourist destinations. Today, I will only scout the area due to the approaching dusk. I will return tomorrow morning to capture photos and rest at my accommodation for the night.

== Day : 3 ==

The final day of the trip arrived. After checking out the route the day before, I woke up early and immediately took my trusty motorbike to Haad Ta Waen and Haad Sangwan. But before I went, I stopped by the windmill viewpoint. It took me a while to find my way, but I finally arrived at the windmill viewpoint.

I drove up to take pictures and on the way back down in the morning with the good weather, I admired the view along the way. While driving, an unexpected incident occurred: the car slipped on the sand and fell over. I got hurt on my first visit here, haha! I drove back to my accommodation and washed the wound with clean water. With determination, I grabbed my trusty motorcycle that had caused me to fall earlier and rode it to Ta-Aewan Beach and Sangwan Beach again. Haha! I wouldn't give up, and I finally reached Ta-Aewan Beach and Sangwan Beach.

== Haad Ta Waen ==

Hat Ta Waen is a popular beach on Koh Lan. It offers a variety of water sports, restaurants, and is bustling with tourists.

After leaving Haad Ta Waen, I went to the Koh Lan Hospital to treat my wounds from a fall. I'm still confused why I didn't get my wounds treated first. I then returned to my room to shower, pack my belongings, and prepare for my departure. A shuttle from the resort took me to the pier. (Wow, I have to leave already? Time flies!) I returned to the Na Baan Pier to catch a ferry back to Pattaya. At the Bali Hai Pier, there is a van stop where you can conveniently catch a van back to Bangkok. I arrived in Bangkok around 3:00 PM. I pondered, tossed and turned, and thought long and hard about how to get back to Ubon. I decided to take the BTS from Victory Monument to Chatuchak, then a bus to Mo Chit, and finally a bus back to Ubon.

Note: Unfortunately, I was unable to visit my grandparents.

The short journey has come to an end, and it is uncertain when the opportunity to embark on such an enriching experience will arise again. Every step of the journey was priceless, shaping new experiences and fostering the courage to venture into the unknown. It brought encounters with new people and sights unseen, leaving a yearning for a repeat of these moments. With certainty, there will be more opportunities, and this concludes the account of this particular journey. Thank you to all who have joined me on this adventure, and I hope you have enjoyed sharing in my experience.

== Recommendations and Costs ==

== Recommendations ==

1. It is advisable to check the weather conditions before traveling to Koh Lan.

3. Accommodation on the mainland in Pattaya is cheaper than on the island. *** It is possible to travel back and forth. *** At night, you can also visit Walking Street.
