Koh Kood Relaxation

Koh Kood Relaxation

Posted on January 9, 2017 by Meg • Leave a comment

This day on Koh Kood was to rest, relax, and enjoy the beautiful tropical weather.  And to have what turned out to be maybe the best meal we had out in a restaurant our whole trip.  The meal we compared the other meals to… but we’ll get to that. We had anchored off the coast … Continue reading →

Sunset Dinner, Koh Kood Thailand

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Meg • Leave a comment

After the excitement of our Klong Chao waterfall experience, we had some well-earned downtime.  Most of our time on the sailboat was actually motor propelled, travelling from island to island.  But on this evening, we took some time to purely sail, including some time with the 1980 Christopher Cross hit ‘Sailing’ wafting through the boats … Continue reading →

Thailand: Hitchhiking Koh Kood with Kids!

Posted on January 1, 2017 by Meg • 39 Comments

Our journey up the river was intended to bring us to the road where taxis pick up passengers, and our goal was a little waterfall about a kilometer and a half from where we were.  So, we arrived at the “intersection” and found… very little traffic.  And very little intersection. And the signage was… less … Continue reading →

Up a River… in Koh Kood, Thailand

Posted on December 29, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

Our first morning sailing the islands we took our dingy ashore for breakfast and a half-day trip.  Breakfast was at the Captain Hook Resort, which had some Thai, other Asian, and also a couple of western options on their breakfast bar.  Sort of.  Be careful of the fish sauce dangerously close to the pancakes.  Not … Continue reading →

Sailing Thailand Islands with Kids

Posted on December 25, 2016 by Meg • 10 Comments

For three nights and four days, we sailed around islands in the Gulf of Thailand, near the border with Cambodia, while we anchored each night off the coast of -and visited – Koh Kood, Koh Mak, and Koh Chang.  Being on a boat for 3 nights was totally new to my family. We weren’t quite sure … Continue reading →

Glimpse of Koh Chang

Posted on December 23, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

Our sailboat for the next 4 days was waiting for us closer to the southern end of Koh Chang.  So to get there, we first took the ferry across to the island.  Do you see that van at the back on the left?  The one that looks like it is right on the edge of … Continue reading →

Thai Potties… The Traveler’s Divide

Posted on December 22, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

When traveling in Thailand, at some point, you are going to have to use a public restroom. I suppose it is technically possible to come and stay at a 4 star resort, at least a Thai 4 star which isn’t quite as spoiled as a US 4 star, and plan your days so that you … Continue reading →

We set out from Bangkok on our drive to Koh Chang and our sailboat for the next four days.  It takes about 5 hours to get to the ferry, half-hour or so to cross (not including the wait for the ferry which can be anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or so), and … Continue reading →

A Peek Outside the Bubble

Posted on December 17, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

We are doing surprisingly well with jetlag, which is helping this whole transition a lot.  We are still waking up (really) early, but even with that we are lasting until 9pm. At some point I expect we will hit a wall, but until then, we’re just going with it. Today that meant a golf cart … Continue reading →

Thailand Arrival and Easing In

Posted on December 17, 2016 by Meg • Leave a comment

We finally arrived in Thailand at about 2:30 this morning. We were supposed to get in at 1 a.m., and all was on track across the country, then across the ocean and even boarding our plane from Shanghai to Bangkok. And then, for reasons I cannot fathom, the plane just seem to drive at about … Continue reading →
