Koh Chang revisited

I visited the island of Koh Chang 20 years ago. I do not recognize it now. Unsure if where I visited was a different spot or it has changed that much. Either way, it is enjoyable. We are near a very family oriented beach and there are visitors from France, Austria, Russia and the UK. We have yet to meet an American. We are staying in a hippie resort and our house is rustic, rats in the walls scratching at night, geckos and spiders everywhere and biting ant highways. However, this is what is like to live in the jungle. Right? Our days are slow, hoping for Cork to feel better (he has been ill our entire visit here) and join us for an activity or meal. We did meet another traveling family through Facebook and that was an enjoyable afternoon that left the kids happy and very sunburned.  Traveling long-term can get lonely and meeting other travelers is key.  The people who stay on this beach are on vacation and have travelled here with their families or partner and do not seem that interested in making new friends.  However, the staff is super friendly and spending our days at the beach are fairly pleasant.  If we could just teleport a few family members or friends, it would be perfect!  Every night we watch a film from the 1980s, last night it was Gremlins.  The decisions made it that movie by the characters had us shaking our heads and cringing the whole time!  I think Raising Arizona is tonight’s feature.  Tomorrow we go to Bangkok with the hopes of catching a night train to Chiang Mai.
