Slept in and really spent the day chilling by the pool. Had a lovely lunch by the pool and a couple of ridiculously priced and sized (teensy) cocktails that contained nothing but various types of alcohol. Darren had an "Edinburgh" cocktail, which we were surprised to see on the menu! Twas a nice relaxing day. As the sun made it's way down, we went for a splash in the waves. What a sight- numerous backpackers frolicking in the waves throwing a ball about as the su...

Set off along the road to the internet café to type up my blog as I was very behind in my entries. Spent most of the day getting up to date, while Darren did his own jazz online. It was a really snazzy internet café. Koh Chang is not built up at all, so it was pretty much a caravan, with chik, boutique design.

Went online and packed to leave the next day.

After a yummy breakfast at the traveler place, we set out to find the Grand Palace. I was well aware that the tuk tuk drivers would screw us over and tell us that Palace was closed for various reasons and try to take us to their mates place instead. So I was pretty focused on just walking there myself. I was so focused in fact that I completely blanked a man saying something to me. Darren and I had stopped to get our bearings and a dude approached us saying somet...
