Bangkok is a little like Vegas. It's a lot of fun for a few nights, but it's really tough to handle for any longer than that. So we decided we needed to reward ourselves with a little relaxing on the island of Koh Chang. We hopped on a bus in Bangkok and took a 5 hour trip to the city of Trat. Here, we took a ferry and arrived on Koh Chang.
Everyone on the island was extremely excited for the party bros to arrive. We haven't run into any Americans yet on the island, but have spent some time with a lot of Swedes and a few Germans.
We spent our first night in the above bungalow on the beach. For the three of us, it cost 360 baht, about 13 US dollars. We definitely got what we paid for. It was full of mosquitoes and geckos, had no air conditioning, and had a salt water shower. Needless to say, it was not ideal for us three American princes. We spent the night at a beach party outside our bungalow where a stage was setup with a DJ playing terrible Euro dance music. We showed all the Euros our smooth American dance moves and had a great time drinking Red Bull whiskey buckets. Then, the morning came and the hangover/no sleep/heat/bug bites kicked in, and we were ready to give up on life.
We got out of bed around 7:00am and got the hell off the above party beach in a desperate search for some air conditioning. We took a cab down to a secluded beach and rented the below bungalow which had AC, Wi-Fi, and a TV. Obviously, we chose the Jeff Gordon number 24 bungalow. We were back to living the good life.
We spent the next couple days relaxing and enjoying the adventures on Koh Chang.
Monkeys fighting over a piece of gum.
Soaking in some scenery and throwing around a coconut like a football.
Eating some spicy Thai food.
And, Andrew got his Easy Rider on by cruising around the island on a moped. I'm still amazed by how badass he looks on one of those things. Andy and Max would have rented them also, but Max didn't have the proper shoes while Andy didn't want to leave Max by himself. It clearly wasn't because Max struggles on a normal bicycle and was too much of a pussy to mob around on a moped.
