Day 165 – Cambodia to Thailand

March 19, 2010 – Kampot, Cambodia to Koh Chang, Thailand

Today Eric and I journey back to Thailand with plans to enjoy a week of good old-fashioned beach time.

Although the journey turns out to be a lot more complicated than we anticipated, we are able to get further than planned – we actually make it to our desired destination, Lonely Beach on Koh Chang, in one day.

All it takes is a van ride to the bus station in the border town of Koh Kong, a tuk-tuk to the Cambodian-Thai border, a walk across the border, a mini-bus to the Trat bus station, a sawngtheaw to the Koh Chang ferry terminal, a ferry to Koh Chang and a sawngtheaw to Lonely Beach.

Thankfully a nice Canadian we meet on the bus from the Thai border and who is now a part-time resident on Koh Chang takes us under his wing and helps us find a great place to stay… all it costs us is a beer, which as we Canucks know is priceless.
