Next on my journey was Koh Chang, an island that felt like a slice of paradise. Picture crystal-clear waters, palm trees swaying in the breeze, and beaches that were less crowded than some of Thailand’s more famous islands. I stayed at KP Huts, but now it doesn't exist anymore...200Baht/ night with private beach. I just had to open my hut's door and had that beautiful view just in front of me every morning.

Koh Chang’s charm lies in its perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. I went snorkeling in its vibrant coral reefs, took a jungle trek to discover hidden waterfalls, and simply relished the quiet moments in nature.

The island's beaches were idyllic, with places like White Sand Beach offering an incredible place to unwind.

The sunsets in Koh Chang were unlike anything I’d ever seen before (even more beautiful than my trip to Kenya) —painted skies and reflections on the calm waters made me feel like I was in a dream.
