Quote of the day is from a guy who was staying at Klong Prao Resort who described it as being like "Colditz". He wasn't referring the standard of accommodation but to the sunbed war which has broken out between the British and Germans. Neither group is in the right, with members of both nationalities throwing their beach towels over sun loungers as soon as the sun rises. When someone famously asked "Why can't we all just get along?" they obviously hadn't just seen their sunbed snaffled by a lobster-red European tourist.
If you've got 550,000,000 baht to spend on a hundred room resort, let me know as I know a family who want to sell their very well known resort which is sitting on 31 Rai of prime beachfront.
A few places you lot reading this have told me you liked on Koh Chang . . .
First up, 'Sea Hunter', sea fishing tours. 1,200 baht per person for a day at sea on a fishing boat. Friendly staff, good food, good quality equipment, knowledgeable captain and the guarantee of catching loads of fish.
'Slick Willies' - The themed American diner in VJ Plaza that three people have mentioned in the past week. Huge burgers and milkshakes the way milkshakes should taste. Not cheap, but you're paying for quality (and the decor).
'Bread & More' - Bakery, sandwiches etc in VJ Plaza, near the apartments. again, a couple of people have mentioned the place in glowing terms. Also focuses on quality, so expect to pay 100 baht+ for a sandwich using imported fillings. (But don't order the iced coffee, it's crap.)
Try the excellent ice cream at 'TeTeCaCa' or 'Titicaca', in 3x3 Avenue, Kai Bae - it's one of those places where the staff don't really know to spell the name of the place. Two things to avoid are 1) the rather sad attempts at coffee and food; 2) asking the staff why this coffee, snack & ice cream place has a Mexican name.
Finally, just opened last week is 'Moccachino', roadside at Kai Bae Plaza which is already my favourite coffee shop on Koh Chang simply because they actually know how to make good, strong coffee which is sensibly priced plus the coffee shop is very nicely designed. The place also doubles as an internet cafe with a choice of Macs or PCs, both with large LCD monitors.
