Koh Chang/Half Moon Party

Well this past weekend, Catie and I met up with some friends in Koh Chang. It's an island off of Trat which is in Southeast Thailand on the coast.  It took us about an 1 to get to Bangkok, then a 5 hour bus ride to Trat then another half hour ferry ride over, but we had friday off so leaving on thursday wasn't bad. We ended up getting to Koh Chang at 7am Friday morning. We spent all day friday beachside. The water was clear blue, you could see your feet even at about 100 yards out.  Friday night, we stayed near this bar right on the beach and a most of the CIEE program participants were there. It was nice to see everyone since we left orientation.


Saturday we got up and took a little hike to a waterfall pretty close by. It was really cool to see and the water was so fresh and felt so cold compared to the ocean which felt like a bath. The rest of the day we laid on the beach and relaxed. That night, we got some food and headed to a half moon party on the beach. They had a DJ on the beach with dancing and a fire show. Sunday, we woke up, got some breakfast and headed out as early as we could. It was quite a hike home, which ended with Catie and I having to take a cab from Bangkok to Suphanburi since there were no buses left. Overall, it was a very relaxing weekend and it's nice to see paradise once and a while.
