Koh Chang

Just a warning that the travel posts begin. I only made it out of Thailand with one drive worth of photos, the others were in "the backpack." Imagine the damage I could have done here with all of the photos at my disposal...but instead I'm left to try and get by with only 617 photos. Ha.

I imagine that Thailand's beaches are to Europeans and Australians, what the Caribbean and Mexico is to Americans: relatively close and affordable tropical escape. Koh Chang sits in the shadow of her more popular sister, Phuket, whose white sand beaches are sought out by many vacationers each year. From the traffic on Koh Chang, I'm guessing she's not far behind in catching up with her sister as a hot vacation destination. I heard many a German, English or Aussie voice, and for good reason--this island is truly is a tropical paradise.
