My trip from Bangkok to Koh Chang took the best part of a day. The bus broke down a few km after Bangkok airport and we had to wait about one hour for a replacement to drive out from Bangkok. Then there was an hour wait for the ferry, which it itself took about 45 minutes to cross to the island. Finally, I was met by Ian, the owner of the guesthouse where I am staying for the next 5 days, who drove me on the final part of the journey to Klong Prao.
The Baan Rim Nam guesthouse is small; only three adjoining bungalows overlooking a river estuary accessed by a wooden walkway over a mangrove swamp. (It’s actually better than I make it sound!) The guesthouse is only short walk from the beach but a slightly longer walk from the nearest village. The whole area is very quiet, partly because it is now low season, but apparently even in high season it is much more low key than many other island resorts in Thailand. It should be a good base to explore Koh Chang over the next few days.
