Getting from Bangkok to Koh Chang
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…
Khao Mo in Wat Prayoon

GREYHOUND CAFÉ
This eatery is an option if you want a variety of food to choose from, with reasonable prices. The drinks menu is expansive and they have some interesting signature refreshments.
