koh chang!

next we headed to an island not too far off the coast called koh chang. beaches have never really been my thing - i'm afraid of the water, i look at the sun and it burns me, and i'm not a huge fan of beach clothing. but i have to say, this was one of the most beautiful places i have ever been. must to go back now, please.

this is a picture of koh chang taken on the ferry to the island. i like this picture because it reminds me of a less than or equal to sign.

this is the beach where we stayed, called kai bae beach. it was only mildly overrun with tourism. thankfully high season is ending and we went during the week, so it was actually quite laid back.

this is the coast line of kai bae, complete with a fishing boat.
