We had from the beginning of the bike trip thought about spending the last week at the beach to relax after all our pedalling, so after a recommendation we chose to go to Kho Chang mainly as it was easy to get to from Bangkok, and although one side of the island is “the new Kho Samui” the other side is a dirt road which ends in Longbeach, where we hung out in a hammock in our cabin admiring the view for about 1 hour before we got completely bored. “How do you relax again?”
Our guesthouse at longbeach. Our cabin is hidden in there in the trees.
We tried some swimming, reading, hanging around on the beach, before finding a sea kayak for 2 and took up paddleing instead of pedalling. We then proceded to paddle from one island to the next from dawn till dusk for the next couple of days and found some amazing beaches that are almost too stereotypical to descibe (turquoise waters, plam trees, sparkling, golden sands….etc!)
