Today I take you to see what I consider to be some of the best hidden areas on Thailand's Koh Chang island. The east side of Koh Chang island is almost totally undeveloped and rarely visited by tourists. There are lots of hidden areas, tranquil gems, and secluded beaches to be found on this side of the island. Let's get away from all the tourists and visit this beautiful area of Koh Chang. There is a great little mangrove forest, a beautiful temple and a great little beach. These are areas that are rarely visited by tourists so I think they are usually the best places to explore. I will also take you to a place that has some of the best tacos I have had anywhere in Thailand, and show you my awesome bungalow on the beach. Day 5 of the East Coast Thailand Motorbike Tour is a fun one!

Wow, it's pretty surreal how you can just ride your motorcycle to the end of the pier.

@LifewithSerg 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, once I realize I could do that, I knew I had to go to the very end

I like exploring the mangroves in different areas of Thailand. I’ve been to one in Prachuap Khiri Khan just south of Hua Hin. I’ve also had the luxury of visiting Koh Kut, but I never made it to Koh Chang. I like how there are many islands near Koh Chang to explore, and how you ended the day at a nice resort near the beach. I miss Thailand!

@kamolhengkiatisak1527 6 месяцев назад

Here is my brief on Naga. Wat Prathat Doi Suthep and practically all temples in the North, Northeast (Isan) and in Laos as well have two Nagas (mythical serpent-like beast living underworld) guarding the steps leading into the temple. It is believed that Naga King is the underworld ruler and is a devout Buddhist disciple. Thus, sometimes you can see an image of Buddha meditating under the tree with Naga King guarding behind with his 7 heads above Buddha's head to protect him from wind/rain. There are also standalone Naga statute along Meking River on both sides of Thailand and Laos, the most famous of which is at Nakhon Phanom with 7 heads. It might be noted that one of the largest royal barge of Thai King has 7-heads Naga as its head. The mortal enemy of Naga is Garuda (a mythical flying beast) which is supposed to be God Rama's mount. Indonesia and Thailand deem Garuda as high class mythical beast and Indonesia's National Carrier is "Garuda". Garuda is also the official symbol of Thai King, thus official document would have Garuda symbol at its head. When there is an official royal announcement from the King or Palace, the initial TV screen features Garuda for a minute before the royal text appears together with reading sound.

@LifewithSerg 6 месяцев назад

I actually went there a second night. The only thing that’s not good is their corn tortillas. But to be fair, no one in Thailand has good corn tortillas. All the ones that use are premade, and not authentic at all.

@davidbollaerts4705 6 месяцев назад

Hey Serg, east side seems no hilly or am i mistaken? Where do you prefer to stay city or rural countryside or close to the beach. Fine vlog Serg

@LifewithSerg 6 месяцев назад

The hills are in the middle of the island. All the communities for hotels and houses are on the outskirts. There are no roads in the hills. This is why I think Ko Samui was better.

@davidbollaerts4705 6 месяцев назад

Koh Samui is probably more versatile and not as big as Koh Chang. Thkx for the reply Serg. Keep on going Mister Serg go go go..........

I've never had any Mexican food with pineapple. It definately sounds like something from Europe or Asia, where the chef read the recipe from a book, and then added local flavors (otherwise, it wouldn't sell). That is an abonimation.

@LifewithSerg 6 месяцев назад

Then you’ve not had authentic Mexican food as Tacos Al Pastor are supposed to have pineapple. I lived in California for 41 years. There were so many Mexican owned restaurants, and all of them put pineapple in tacos Al Pastor. That’s the way it’s made.

฿200 to visit an area as small only 100 x 50m doesn't seem worth it.😅 But the bungalow you stay is very good, but $87 /night. Seems a little expensive if there is no free breakfast for you.🍞🍕

@LifewithSerg 6 месяцев назад

You could explore that whole island if you wanted to. It’s a secluded beach, and I was fine with the price. The hotel didn’t include a breakfast. And yes, it was twice as much as the hotel. I stayed at the prior nights. Waiting until my next video and I’ll tell you what I think.
