But be careful when you is floating down the River:

It has there been reports of drownings, due to the combination of too much alcohol and strong currents of Nam Song.

And another thing:

You know that you've gone too far in the River if you don't see other tubers around.

I am going to tell you about a young girl that we meet in Luang Prabang, who had his worst nightmare in Vang Vieng.

Wasn't it had transported throughout the end of the day and had to float "forever" by the River (felt as always to it).

She managed to carry on its own, despite the current and ended up walking in just her bikini wearing his tube into city. This girl was so terrified at the time when he struggled to get on the ground.

Water pipes: a typical sign of Vang Vieng

And not to mention, embarrassed because he got very bad and seems odd as she walked in just her bikini. I felt pity for her.

Ko Chang Bungalows, Resorts, accommodation, hotels | Where to sleep in Ko Chang Island, lonely Beach, Chai Chet Beach

"Ko Chang accommodation"

Although Ko Chang is quite tourisy, you can find cheap cabins and bungalows on the island.

Lonely Beach is the place to go if you want to budget options and strong at the same time parties! The beach is definitely Backpackers of Chang Ko.

Secluded beach is not like the white sandy beach. White sand is packed with people, shops and 7-11. It is very developed and tourist in my opinion.

But lonely beach is much more charming and relaxing.

Now, these are some of the options:

Price per night: 150 B

Probably the cheapest option in the Ko Chang Island! The cabins are very simple and small, fan and shared bathroom.

Block here if you want a simple basis or if you are in a very tight budget.

If you are looking for a quiet beach in the island of Ko Chang, go to Chai Chet!

Chai Chet cannot be in the top list for most backpackers coming to Koh Chang, because many travelers go to lonely beach.

I stayed close to Chai Chet, a couple of nights and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere on the beach. I really had space around me from the white sand beach, and the beach was quiet and clean.

If you get tired of placing yet, try swings hanging from the Palm trees!

Or take a walk enjoying the excellent view of the ocean.

These are accommodations that I tried Beach Chai Chet:

Price per night: 500 B (Jan 2008)

Spacious rooms with TV, attached bathroom, hot shower, air conditioning and fridge. When he stayed there, there was a lot of Thai tourists and few foreigners. Why do not charge a higher price than this.

5 Minutes walk from the beach of Chai Chet and distance spitting food and supermarket jobs.

En: Pass the supermarket and food.

Ko Chang accommodation: bungalows Saigars

Price per night: 500 B

I spent a night in Saigars, near the beach of Chai Chet in January 2008 and through an agent in Bangkok.

The staff was great and cozy. Bungalow was very well. It came with a large bed and bedroom connected, but it was very dusty on the floor.

The place was pretty new then and much nothing happened in the evening. I felt that it was the only person in this place.

But now, have a swimming pool and a cool bar.

What I liked about Saigars was its location. To get to the beach of Chai Chet, I had to walk for at least 20 minutes.

At that time, there was no direct access to the beach (which was unaware of).

The cost of meals of fish over 40 - 50 B, Thai Pad cost 30 B and it was one of the better Pad Thais that I've tried it on Thailand.

Another cheap option is to buy food in the purses of concentration on the white sand and Chai Chet.

You can also buy fresh fruit of permanent food suppliers along the main road near the beaches.

If you like fruits such as lychee, have to try the fruit Logan (Lamjay).

Of course have loads of other delicious fruits cheap:

Pineapple, mango, durians, Rambutan, grapefruit, papaya, mangosteen, lychee, jujube, guavas, Dragon fruit and you should definitely try yellow jackfruits and the roseapples! I also tried the Tamarindos, but that was the only result not liked the taste of.

In the secluded beach, tend to have parties in the areas of bungalow as Magic Garden Resort. Magical garden is notoriously known for its DJ parties and heavy cube drink.

Other good places to test in Playa lonely is Ting Tong bar -a milestone for backpackers. You can relax in the roof and listen to live music every night.

Also I heard about a great place called Porno Bar by Kai Bae beach where they meet loads of backpackers together for drinks and good music.

You can watch shows impressive fire while drinking buckets next to the beach.

Porn Bar is an ideal bar if you want a relaxed atmosphere, where can simply go with fellow travelers and exciting stories of Exchange. They get a bonus of their smoking water pipes (Shisha in Arabic).

Zipline adventure and higher emotion of the tree in Ko Chang Island, Thailand | Go Flying Fox, top of the tree of the adventure

Tree top Adventure - Island Ko Chang "Zipline adventure"

Try Flying Fox - tree Top Adventure Park in Ao Bailan, located south of the island of Ko Chang.

ZipLine adventure
Price: 900 B 2.5 hours

Flying Fox is for those who want to exercise and the adventure of speed!

If they are not afraid of heights, you should try...

And if you are afraid of heights, should definitely do you...

Why do you say?

One of the is coolest face the fear and feel as Tarzan.

...You must balance the unique strings, bridges of rope, flying skateboards and upload in networks of rope!

Skate, rope bridges and Tarzan vines were the best. Networks of rope were not fun for me, especially if you're a smoker. I was a smoker at the time and had to use all my breath to balance on networks that maintain undulation.

Before you begin, you will get the suitable and safe equipment provided by the company. You may be divided into groups and each group has a supervisor who flies with you put in charge of tree tree.

This person will also explain how to use the equipment and how to use your balance. The strings are made of steel and are completely blocked around the trees.

So, don't worry!

And there are two tracks, blue and red. The blue is the easiest and is 4 meters in height, while red is more difficult and 12-14 meters above the ground.

 

Zipline adventure

You will have a great time, and there will be times when you feel relaxed and free. Only I screamed (of happiness) when I cruise in the air, as if I was sitting on a roller coaster!

ZipLine adventure

Let me tell you about how I experienced it...

Some of the posts were very well and I felt that it was a secret agent.

If you have seen action movies where soldiers or assassins coming from his enemies, by using ropes them surprise from the air, will know what I mean.

It is simply amazing to plan and feel the fresh air of forest of the island of Ko Chang.

But I have to admit that some of the posts were afraid, especially where there is balance with a single string with a stick in his hands. The wooden stick is the only thing that can keep, so you have to do this right.

And I was always the last person because I am a coward and I used long time to finish the job. The red track, but at least chickened completed the blue track:-D

Thai fun of Koh Chang Tours cruise | Ko Chang Island | Snorkeling and boat to Koh Wai and Koh Mah trip

Beautiful Koh Wai, near the island of Ko Chang "koh chang Tours"

If you want to make a day trip to the nearby islands of Koh Wai and Koh Mak and go snorkeling at the same time - fun Thai cruise have visits to your liking!

Price: 1300 THB

The price includes buffet, water and snorkeling equipment.

Water of Koh Wai near Koh Chang Island first stop is koh wai where can snorkel for 45 minutes. You'll get snorkel of large areas of corals and see reef fish, anemones, and if you're lucky you may catch a glimpse of an eel.

But be careful...

... Unfortunately, they scratched my feet in some black spiky Sea Urchin, so be careful. It stings as h * if zero or step of them!

Next, we turn to Ko rang!

KO rang was very good, but visibility was not as good as Koh Wai.

I do not see a fish!

Therefore not enjoy there snorkeling.

Well, I buried my disappointment in excellent lunch buffet in the ship; Thai sea and barbecue food.

Then stopped by highlight tour: Ko Mak island - a small version of the islands of Phi Phi with its crystal clear waters and fine white powder sands

 

Koh Chang visits: beach of Koh Mak

 On the way to the island of Ko Chang, the ship stopped by an island full of hunger and screams of monkeys. One of the officers threw bananas at them and were all those who fight for food. The fight was quite ugly, and became only the boat.

 

Koh Chang visits: monkeys

Therefore, here's my verdict:

However, the tour went well, but was not the best. I preferred to snorkel on Ko Phi Phi.

And I don't normally like tours scheduled due to the lack of time, too many people and you know... the agreement.

Therefore, if you hurry perhaps should be the tour. And if not, rent a boat from the long tail in the island of Ko Chang!
When is the best time to snorkel in the island of Ko Chang?

The best time is between October and may.

How to book with Thai cruise of fun: More Koh Chang travel agents offer the Thai Cruise of fun snorkeling trip. I booked my trip at a travel agency, near the beach of Chai Chet. This is also where booked zipline adventure-adventure top of tree.
