Day 11. After a relaxed breakfast we all had a swim in the sea to cool off. We then had an excursion into the village where we found a cash and carry which sold Singha by the case, ice cream and some other non-essential supplies. Next we thought we would check out the restaurant on the complex for a light lunch. This offers cuisine from many nations and we sampled mostly Thai but some european as we can't resist good old chips. Staying under shelter until the heat of the midday sun had passed, we then strolled back down the beach to plunge in our pool. Good news from Mr Hertz. He is bringing a replacement vehicle to the villa! Answers to quiz's :-Fruit or veg............sweet turnip Bean thing ...........Tamarind Try the new quiz.... read more

Day 10.Some did an early shop, this morning, before some of us got up and brought back the days rations. BEER....and some other stuff like food. Although the food out here is fabulous its difficult to break tradition so it was eggs all round, boiled, fried and scrambled, followed by fresh fruit and toast. We spent the rest of the morning swimming and reading before getting ourselves ready to go out for lunch. A table had been booked at a restaurant called Saffron -on-the -Sea, we had visited 2 years ago because it had been so good then and we weren't disappoined, prawns cooked in five different ways - heaven A little retail therapy on route home .... another day in paradise... read more

Day 9. Lazy day, the first really, really sunny day so we decided to stay in the villa and soak up some rays, swim in the sea and in the pool. Been told it's not PC to take pictures of people in the pool so there aren't any. At about 4pm we set off in to town to pick up a few bits of shopping. Unfortunately on the way we got a puncture and becase we had no tools in the van (thank you Hertz) We had to get out a man. See pictures. Hazel disappeared this afternoon and has brought back some cockles, harvested from the sea, which we are going to have for tea tomorrow. Back home now and about to order our take away Await tomorrow's exciting episode when we go out for ... read more

Day 8. Woke up to a beautiful day, had breakfast and set off down the western side of the island where most of the action is. The Eastern side is less developed so not as many shops for the ladies, very important. We decided to drive to the other end of the island and work our way back, about a 45 min drive. At the furthest point lies Ban Bangbao Jetty, a concrete jetty reaching out into the bay with improvised shops on either side, built over the water on stilts. At the very end of the jetty is a lighthouse and moorings for the pleasure boats that abound. We had a leisurely lunch on the jetty of squid. battered and grilled, extra large king prawn, 6 to a half kilo, and some veggy stuff full ... read more

21 au 25 octobre Et oui, nous voilà enfin sur une île paradisiaque thaïlandaise, Koh Chang. L'hôtel est absolument magnifique. Nous avons notre propre petite villa toute blanche, avec vue sur le canal aquatique juste devant et petite piscine-jacuzzi sur le balcon. Vraiment, c'est superbe et très romantique. On s'étonne d'ailleurs que l'hôtel compte tant de familles parmi ses clients, ça nous semble plutôt un parfait hôtel pour une lune de miel, avec une piscine à débordement faite de vraies pierres et un resto au bord de l'eau, sur un quai,sans remparts. Le seul bémol, c'est la plage de l'établissement, pas tout à fait nettoyée selon nos standards. En effet, ici, pendant la saison des pluies, la mer ramène sur les rivages plusieurs débris de bois flotté, que l'hôtel se donne plus ou moins la peine ... read more
