Baan Jek bae plages

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.

Cette superbe et petite île est située au sud-est de Koh Chang. Pour y arriver, vous pouvez soit louer un kayak ou utiliser un service de bateau en moteur. Il ne faut que 30 minutes de pagayage avec un kayak pour atteindre les belles plages. Étant donné que l'île est un parc national, vous devrez acheter un billet. Le Ranger percevra le paiement une fois arrivé à la plage. Les frais sont de 40 bahts pour les ressortissants thaïlandais et 200 bahts pour les étrangers. Il y a une étroite bande de terrain qui sépare les deux plages de l'île. La plage du côté sud est équipée d'un ponton flottant. C'est un merveilleux voyage à travers la nature, avec des eaux cristallines à une courte distance de Koh Chang.

L'île est absolument magnifique pour faire de la plongée avec tuba.

Super super

Plaža Wai Chaek je nedvomno najbolj dih jemajoča in osupljiva plaža na otoku Koh Chang. Na Googlovih zemljevidih jo je enostavno najti, vendar je dostop do nje lahko precej zahteven, saj je edini način dostopa po grobi, neasfaltirani cesti. Močno priporočam uporabo 4x4 ali trdnega motorja, saj je cesta lahko strma in nevarna na določenih območjih, kar jo naredi neprimerno za neizkušene voznike. Prav tako je pomembno, da imate zadostno zalogo vode, hrane in drugih potrebščin, saj v bližini ni trgovin, restavracij ali stranišč. Kljub tem izzivom pa neprekosljiva lepota plaže naredi to obvezno destinacijo za obisk.

Nous avons visité cette plage il y a deux semaines et sommes restés cinq nuits. La plage est vibrante, animée et absolument incroyable ! Elle possède le meilleur restaurant de toute l'île, et les prix sont tout à fait raisonnables. Nous allons certainement regretter cet endroit magnifique.
