Welcome to Koh Chang

After a 6 hour private transfer drive from Bangkok we arrived on the island of Koh Chang…located in Eastern Thailand.  In reality it is probably only a 4 hour transfer but our driver made quite a few stops.  Checked in at Baan Rim Nam where we will be staying for 8 nights before moving along to Cambodia.  Baan Rim Nam is a 5 room Guesthouse located on a quiet river on the west coast of Koh Chang.  This once fisherman's house is built on stilts over the river in the mangroves…..very quiet and peaceful…so quiet that we can here Rosalie coughing 2 doors over….or maybe the walls are just paper thin? No big plans for Koh Chang other than beaching it and exploring the island.
