Escape from Bangkok
Harangued one too many times with shouts of "Where you go? You take Tuk Tuk!", "You go massage? Body to body!" and "You buy from me!", we scurried away from crowded, sultry and dirty Bangkok for the beach.
After a four hour bus ride (prolonged by the driver's insistence on stopping every 40 km or so to get us to buy stuff at roadside stops he was assuredly getting kickbacks from) and a 40 min ferry ride we arrived at Ko Chang, a large island surprisingly unpopulated given its proximity to BK's 10M + peeps.
We hope to do a bit of diving and bank of few beach hours (Janet's reserves had been running dangerously low :-))
