Kraburi Kayak Tour, Thailand 2024

Day 6: Ranong to Ko Chang at Hornbill Bungalows

 

16 November Hornbill Bungalows, Ko Chang
Beautiful mostly sunny day with light breezes. 22km Got 3 fried eggs and toast, chocolate waffle (gave strawberry waffle to cooks) plus my muesli and Myanmar tea. Followed coast including delightful mangrove forest, then turned across open water, a bit choppy. Tide flow a minor factor. Brief stop at village on north side of small Ko Dtakrut. Noodle soup lunches at much larger village on north side of Ko Sin Hai. Then on to Ko Chang. Long drag of kayaks at low tide. Rested, then went in short jungle walk south on path. Bungalows simple. Solar power and temperamental wifi at house, evening generator for bungalows plus little battery fans. Hornbills came for fruits left out. Spicy Penang curry dinner. P. Oui and Mathilda took ferry. Chris and Areeya sped across water to first village, then I went with Chris and Chow with Areeya. Water gently crash near bungalow at night during high tide.

On to Day 7
