Previously, I held a prejudice against the eastern coast of Thailand. I believed it to be unattractive, unclean, and lacking the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Consequently, I never considered visiting it.

Before embarking on my recent trip to Koh Chang at the end of last month, I spent some time researching the island. Having only ever associated it with beaches, I was eager to discover what else it had to offer.

After researching, I discovered that Koh Chang is an incredibly diverse island offering a wide range of activities, including hiking, mountain climbing, waterfalls, mangrove forests, and stunning beaches. Additionally, the island boasts a variety of beautiful accommodations.

Koh Chang is another island that is very convenient to travel to, being both close to Bangkok and allowing cars to be taken across to the island.

The ferry used to cross the river is a large vessel, visually estimated to have a capacity of 40-50 cars. The journey to Koh Chang takes only 30 minutes.

Upon arriving at the island, we immediately drove to our accommodation. This time, we stayed at Sea View Koh Chang, a luxurious beachfront resort spanning over 40 rai. The resort had just completed the construction of its Pool Villa rooms, offering a brand new and refreshing experience.

Calling it a "room" wouldn't be quite right, as it was incredibly spacious.

The bedroom is a glass room, decorated with wood patterns throughout. The bed is large and very soft.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink and a cool lemongrass-scented towel, providing a much-needed respite after our long drive.

The front of the bed features a glass door that opens directly onto the water, creating a romantic ambiance.

The expansive swimming pool boasts an impressive size, offering ample space for swimming and relaxation. Additionally, a luxurious jacuzzi located outside the room provides a comfortable and intimate setting for two individuals to unwind and enjoy the serene ambiance.

After packing our belongings, we quickly headed towards the beach, as the resort offered kayaks that could be paddled to the island in front of it.

The island in front of the resort, called "Koh Mun Nai," is a small island where you can easily cross to relax, sunbathe, or have a picnic. Plus, it's not crowded.

Before we went kayaking, we didn't forget to pack a picnic lunch.

After returning from Koh Mun Island, we freshened up in our rooms just in time for dinner. The resort staff escorted us to the Lighthouse Restaurant, located on the top floor of the hotel.

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who promptly served us refreshing cold drinks.

After a short wait, our food arrived at the table. The seafood platter was impressive, and the dipping sauce was absolutely delicious. The overall taste of the food was excellent, and the sunset view made the experience even more enjoyable.

After that, we returned to our room. Before going to bed, I decided to take a dip in the jacuzzi. 5555

On the second morning, we requested the resort to serve breakfast in our room. During check-in, the staff had asked us to pre-select our breakfast options. The menu offered a wide variety, including American, French, and even Thai cuisine. It was a truly lavish spread.

Prior to my diving tour, I had breakfast and was picked up by a car to board the boat.

Due to the monsoon season during my visit, speed boats were hesitant to venture out to sea, leaving only large wooden boats available.

The sky was overcast and the waves were rough before the boat departed, causing many tourists to vomit.

After about an hour of sailing from the shore, we arrived at our first destination: Giant Island. This island boasts a long stretch of purple staghorn coral that hugs the right side of the island.

In my opinion, Koh Yao Yai is another beautiful and impressive diving spot.

Upon boarding the ship, the crew had prepared a delicious meal for the passengers to enjoy.

After lunch, the next destination was Rang Island, an island where you can walk up to the beach and sit, but there isn't much to see underwater. It's more suitable for walking on the beach.

The captain then took us to the next island, Ko Yak Lek, which is similar to Ko Yak Yai but smaller in size. The underwater beauty is on par with Ko Yak Yai.

Before getting off the swing, I showed off a little swing. 55555 I haven't jumped like this in a long time. It hurts, you know.

The captain then took us to the last island, Ko Wai. It is a relatively large island with a sandy beach for walking. However, I did not get off at this island due to the pain in my back from the backflip. I guess I'm getting old. 55555 So I took a picture from the boat instead.

After a tiring day of diving, the car took us back to the resort.

The resort is offering a luxurious beachfront dinner for guests. For those interested in surprising their loved ones or proposing, this is the perfect setting. Prices range from 1,000 to 3,000 baht depending on the chosen menu. Enjoy a candlelit dinner with a breathtaking sunset view. It's an offer no woman can refuse!

The day ended with a happy ending at a candlelit dinner. Tomorrow, we will continue our trip to Koh Chang.

The third day was our last day here, so I woke up early to fly my drone around the resort for fun.

Before checking out, we heard that there was a pizza-making workshop here, so we decided to give it a try.

Under the chef's guidance, we learned everything from kneading the dough and adding toppings to baking and serving the pizza. And who were we serving? None other than ourselves!

After checking out of the resort, we headed to Saladak Phet Village, where we took a gondola ride through the mangrove forest to Saladak Phet Bay before heading out to sea. The ride was very affordable, costing only 200 baht per person.

After finishing the boat trip, we continued to the nearby mangrove forest study trail at Ban Nan Nai.

Upon arrival, it became apparent that only half of the route was accessible due to ongoing repairs to the old wooden bridge. However, this did not deter us from capturing numerous stunning images to share with our friends.

In conclusion, my three-day, two-night trip to Koh Chang dispelled my preconceived notions about the eastern seaboard. Koh Chang is an excellent destination for a relaxing getaway, allowing for a complete mental and physical refresh before returning to work with renewed vigor.

Besides the tourist attractions I have visited, there are many other activities on Koh Chang that I will gradually explore on my next visit.
