"My memory box: 'Exploring the sea easily with your best friend at a price that anyone can afford.'"

Hello.

Today, we will take you on a journey to explore the sea with three girls who have only 2,000 baht each.

With a 4-day, 3-night trip!! Unbelievable, right? "Can it really be done?" …….. Let's see.

At 6:40 PM, we departed from Maha Sarakham Province to Khon Kaen Province on a pink bus for 50 baht per person.

At 8:00 PM, we arrived at the Khon Kaen Bus Terminal 3. We then took a tuk-tuk to Khon Kaen Railway Station for 60 baht per ride.

We purchased tickets in advance. We boarded the train at Rangsit Railway Station with tickets costing 223 baht per person. Initially, we planned to take the free train, but due to the proximity to the festival, we were concerned about the availability of seats. Therefore, we decided to book tickets.

As we eagerly awaited our train, we decided to grab a bite to eat. Here's a glimpse of our collective luggage—three bags per person! We were clearly prepared for an extended stay. 555+

9:30 PM. The train has arrived. Let's depart.

We arrived in Bangkok at 5:00 AM, but we missed our intended stop. (We were originally supposed to get off at Rangsit.)

5555+ Let me clarify that I haven't forgotten or overslept.

We woke up and packed our belongings. However, the three of us did not know that we had to open the door ourselves to get off the train. Fortunately, the ticket collector did not notice, otherwise we would have been charged double the fare. (Please don't tell him, hehe.) Upon arriving at Hua Lamphong, we walked to find a tuk-tuk and told the driver to take us to Century (not sure if I spelled it correctly). The fare was 150 baht, but we bargained it down to 120 baht. (We originally planned to bargain for 100 baht, hehe.) We bought tickets from Century to Chanthaburi for 200 baht each. As I mentioned earlier, we have relatives here, so we asked our uncle to pick us up at the bus terminal and take us to Chao Lao Beach. (If you are going there, you can also go to the Chanthaburi bus terminal and ask the people there which bus to take to Chao Lao Beach.)

After picking us up from the bus station, we heard the first wave of the sea.

• We stopped for breakfast here.

The cost of this meal was 1,500 baht, which I paid for. I also secretly took some shrimp back to my room. 😜

After we finished our meal, Are kindly dropped me off at the accommodation I had booked through the Booking app.

We stayed at Baan Imsuk - Pan Suk, which costs 740 baht per night per room (the room rates vary, so if you're interested, you can search for the phone number online and call to inquire. There are also houses available for rent).

The homestay provided us with free bicycles, which was a lovely touch. The people of Chanthaburi are very friendly. After getting the bikes, we rode around looking for souvenirs and went to a 7-Eleven.

Stopped by to buy souvenirs (which I haven't given to anyone yet, hehe) and in the last picture, everyone can see the bracelet in my hand. After this picture was taken, it broke in a split second. 55555555555555555 (Thank you to the vendor for not charging me, haha)

After that, we returned to our accommodation, which was not directly on the beach. We had to walk across to the other side, which was not far. Along the way, there were things to see. The distance was about 50 meters, and then we came across the beautiful beach. (On the first day we went, we checked in around two in the afternoon. By the time we had prepared our things and returned from the Seven Eleven, it was almost four in the evening. The atmosphere of the sea was very beautiful at this time.)

We finally dipped our toes in the ocean together!

After stepping on it, we fumbled around looking for souvenirs for our friends. Wait!! That's not right. 555555

And of course, when I go to the sea, I will write my name and take a picture back. #KhaoLae

We went three people, there was a tripod, but we didn't take it down, so we took the photos ourselves.

However, we found someone to take a picture for us. We only got one good picture (good for them).

Once you have a group photo, you can play.

What are you laughing at? 555+ We are currently teaching sexy poses. What poses have you learned? Let's see.

Place your legs like this.

Bend your knees slightly forward. You can either bow your head or lift it up. Grab your waist a little (it's sexy, sir). 55555

After that, we took turns taking photos.

As the sun began to set, it was time for one last round before heading back to the room.

Waking up to another day at the beach. The morning sun shines brightly, making the sea sparkle.

12:00 PM: Check-out and Transportation to Bus Terminal

At noon, we checked out of our accommodation. As before, our friend kindly offered to drive us to the bus terminal. (If you don't have personal transportation, you can wait for a bus at the roundabout with the dugong statue. Alternatively, you can ask your accommodation for directions.) While waiting for our friend, we hired a tricycle to take us to the Aquaculture Demonstration Unit within Ao Kung Kraben Bay, Ao Kung Kraben itself, and the Aquarium. (We got the tricycle number from our accommodation.) The round trip cost 90 baht.

• Demonstration unit for raising aquatic animals in Ao Kung Kraben Bay

Ao Khung Kraben

Chanthaburi has much more to offer than you might expect, including trees that provide shelter (or do they?).

However, my friend couldn't get up, so I had to help her.

Push me! 555+

We will encounter a suspension bridge as we continue walking.

It's time to carry the stuff back. 555

• Aquarium Museum

I'm curious, can 90 baht really take you to so many places? In reality, the locations are quite close together.

And then my uncle came to pick us up. But before he took us to the bus station, he took us to another place with a beautiful view of Chanthaburi. It was…

This place is truly beautiful, but I didn't take many pictures. My uncle said that if you want to come here, you should come in the evening because the sunset is stunning. He also mentioned that there are no public buses that pass by this area, but you can probably hire a car from the bus terminal.

Upon arriving at the bus terminal, we immediately purchased tickets to Rayong.

Upon arriving in Rayong, we were fortunate enough to secure free accommodation thanks to a friend's relative. We reached Rayong around 6:00 PM and immediately headed to the Ko Kloy Floating Market to indulge in a delightful culinary experience.

When we visit Rayong, we must go to the famous places, right?

Okay, here it is: "This is Koh Samet (after meeting the foreigners, haha). We need to take the Ban Phe bus line at the Rayong Bus Terminal first."

We took a passenger boat to get there. The ticket cost 50 baht per person. A kind vendor lady took us with her (normally, you have to buy a round-trip ticket for 100 baht per person).

• Upon arrival at the pier, a fee of 20 baht per person is charged for island access, followed by an additional entrance fee to the national park: 20 baht for children and 40 baht for adults. (Honestly, we think it's excessive.) However, thanks to the aforementioned lady, we avoided the island entrance fee and only paid 20 baht each for the national park entrance. (We managed to catch up with the park ranger, haha.)

The island is home to a wide variety of shops selling a diverse range of goods.

(We rented a motorbike to drive around the island for 300 baht for 3 hours. But if you don't want to rent, you can walk. However, those who have been there will know that "it is not advisable to walk" because each place is far apart and there are steep slopes. It is recommended to rent a car. There are many types of cars available, including golf carts. You can ask the rental shop for the price. There are many of them. And now, let's start exploring the island.)

The beach is crowded with people, making it difficult to find a private spot for taking photos.

We drove a short distance away from Haad Sai Kaew. I can't recall the name of the specific beach, as there are so many and I didn't visit every cove due to the challenging access.

This is a scenic viewpoint on Koh Samet.

For those who want to stay on Koh Samet, you can book in advance or book when you arrive. However, it is important to note that accommodation may be full. To find accommodation, you can search online.

And that's it for our travel trip. Thank you to those who have read it all the way through. 5555555555
