I love Koh Chang island, BUT I dread the journey there. Some 300+ km from Bangkok is not an easy trek on the road. There’s an airport in Trat Province, however, the flights are extortionate and quite frankly not that much of a time saver when you consider check-in and the other things that go…

Mumsa Beach Resort & Restaurant
A pristine beach, hammocks to laze in, and a beach bar to quench your thirst from the Thai sun – what’s not to love about that! Mumsa Beach Resort & Spa is a just the right place if you’re looking for a secluded break, or even just to stay there for a night whilst passing…
Khao Mo in Wat Prayoon
