From Siem Reap, we spent the entire next day traveling by car, bus and ferry, arriving after dark on to the island of Koh Chang back in Thailand. We awoke the next day to the contrast between the dry countryside and extreme poverty of Cambodia and the rainforest, bustling tourist industry and beautiful beaches of Thailand.
Our hotel was an attractive cluster of thatched huts a few minutes stroll from the beach.
The island is the second largest in Thailand and we stuck close to the beach we chose to stay on, a perfect stretch of white sand lined with hotels, little restaurants and a beach swing. We spent a lot of time just floating in the calm water of the Gulf of Siam and one day snorkeling in their National Marine Reserve.
Take a look at this even smaller cluster of cabins on one of the smaller islands where we snorkeled. They go for 300 baht (about $10 a night). Paradise anyone?
