Ko Chang - Day 1: Arrival

This morning we checked out of our hotel and made our way back to the bus station (again: not a tourist town, it took us forever to find a tuk-tuk). We then caught a bus to Laem Ngop, which is a port town with the ferry terminal. We caught the 1 hour ferry ride to Ko Chang, then got a songthaew from the terminal to Hat Sai Kao, or White Sands Beach.

We then searched for a relatively cheap place to stay, and found a fairly cheap place on the side of the road across from the beach - all the beachfront places were really expensive. It was a relatively rustic bamboo bungalow. We settled in, then went and explored the town a bit. We also walked the length of the beach, and found a few places that were reasonably priced, namely Apple Bungalows.
