In the middle of nowhere - Koh Chang Noi
From Ranong bus station, I took a bike taxi to the pier where it got a bit hectic as the speed boat was supposed to leave in 5 minutes. They told me, tje could not drop me at the beach of my accomodation but at the island's pier and for being dropped off there, I had to come back the next morning. I called the accomodation but their English was very basic and the only thing I got was I should get on that boat. On the boat however, I showed them where I wanted to go and they dropped me on a "floating island" from where a tiny boat which they pulled using some straps, brought me to the beach. Fun!
My hut is very basic, no flushing toilet (but a buket), only cold water, a mattress with a mosquito net on the floor and my room mates are huge ants, spiders, ..... we are only 5 people now as two couples have left. Food is so so, drinks are great but their coffee is disappointing. This was much better when I was on the neighboring island in February but this resort was run by a German/Thai couple and it was known for their good food. Anyways, very Madagascar-like also in this point ;-)
The resort is at the very Southern tip of the island and in the middle of nowhere. I went for a walk during low tide and only met dogs and 2 Thais on a bike.
I am here until Monday and have not decided yet where exactely I will go next. South towards Malaysia ....
2 Std. Minibus-Fahrt als einzige Touri, auch diesmal wurden wir unterwegs angehalten und einige Pässe kontrolliert. Durch die Nähe zu Myanmar arbeiten viele Burmesen hier illegal. Ich sass direkt neben einem - keine schöne Situation; wie privilegiert wir doch mit unserem Pass sind....
Anschliessend wieder mal bike taxi zum Pier, der Fahrer hat meinen Backpack nach vorne genommen, so konnte er zwar nicht mehr so viel sehen, aber der Fahrtwind hätte mich mit dem Gewicht sonst runtergefegt 😉 und dann Hektik, weil das Boot in 5 (thailändischen 😉) Minuten abfahren sollte, allerdings zum Pier und nicht wie gedacht, direkt zum Strand meiner Unterkunft.....dann hat man mich aber doch direkt dort abgesetzt und mit dem Boot rübergezogen 😃
