Ko Chang, en iyi plajlar

Koh Chang has a fascinating attraction known as the "Ghost Hotel". Yesterday, we decided to explore it a bit and it was quite strange. To reach the hotel, you have to drive down a narrow and winding jungle road to the southern tip of the island's west coast. Eventually, you'll come across a gate where two friendly local Thais collect a 100 baht entry fee (around $3) per person. As we drove through what was once a beautiful and lush tropical resort, we saw it - a seven-deck ship that appeared to be floating but was actually stranded on land, giving off an abandoned vibe. In front of the ship, there was a sign stating that renovations were in progress, although it seemed unlikely. Honestly, we were unsure where to park our cars or what we were allowed to see and do there. In the end, we discovered that we could park or drive almost anywhere, except for the ship itself, which was off-limits. Everything else was free to explore. Next to the ghost ship, there was a reception area where we decided to take a look. Inside, we found a man fishing from a window that resembled a ship's deck. Looking out from the reception area, we realized that the resort wasn't just limited to the ghost ship. There were actually numerous guest rooms designed to resemble docked ships or converted ships. It was truly unlike anything we had ever seen before. Despite the heavy rain, we still managed to wander around and peek into the various floating hotels on the premises. We even came across a small area with fresh bed linens and neatly folded towels, ready to be rented out. Here's where things get even stranger. If you visit websites like booking.com, you'll find photos of the resort in its prime, suggesting that you can actually book a stay there (at least as of August 1, 2020, post-COVID). The price is around 4000 baht per night, which is quite expensive for Koh Chang, even during normal times, especially considering the resort's rundown condition and questionable cleanliness and maintenance. So, if you're looking for a unique experience in Koh Chang, this surreal little corner of the island is definitely worth a visit, and the 100 baht entry fee adds to the novelty. If you plan to spend the whole day there, you'll come across a clean-looking creek with tire swings where locals were swimming. Before continuing down the coast, we also enjoyed a nice lunch at Indie Beach in Bang Bao.

This beach would benefit from more visitors. The tree here is friendly, it just needs some company.

Süper süper

Bu plaj sadece muhteşem ve eğlence ve yemek için bol seçenek var. Ancak, yağışlı mevsim başladığında Mayıs ayında biraz daha sessiz olabilir. Yine de, kalabalıklardan uzak daha huzurlu bir atmosfer tercih ederseniz ziyaret etmek için mükemmel bir zaman olabilir. Konaklamamız plajın hemen yanında olduğu için konaklamamız daha da keyifli hale geldi.

Bu geniş sahil, uzun bir ince kum ve kristal berraklığındaki suların uzanışını sunar. Plajın kuzey kısmı daha sakin bir atmosfere sahipken, merkezi bölge birçok yemek ve içme seçeneğiyle canlıdır. Plajda açık havada yemek yeme keyfi sevilen bir geçmiş zaman etkinliğidir. Pandemiye rağmen, plaj hala sakin kalmaktadır, ancak gelecekte faaliyetlerin devam etmesi mümkündür.

Bu plaj, adanın ticari tarafındaki favorilerimden biridir. Beyaz kumlarıyla dikkat çeker ve Nature Beach Resort ve The Siam Beach Resort gibi iki harika tatil köyü tarafından sıkça tercih edilir, bu da onun cazibesine katkıda bulunur. Plaj, adadaki en etkileyici gün batımlarından birini sunar ve yiyecek, içecek, plaj sandalyeleri ve mutlu plajseverler bol miktarda bulunur. Adayı ziyaret ettiğim her zaman, her zaman bu plajı seçerim.
