    Now that things are sort of back to normal on Thailand's islands I am able to see where I thing the best area to stay is on Koh Chang. Next time definitely staying at this beach!

    My name is Brian but everyone calls me Greeny. I retired in January of 2020 after working 30 years in Law Enforcement. I wanted to retire young enough to be able to do some of the things I always dreamed about! I knew I wanted to travel extensively and retire somewhere warm and exotic I sampled a ton of places in the Caribbean, Panama, Colombia, Turkey but set my sights on Thailand.

    I might be wrong but I as I remember the shrine is for a high rank person in the thai Navy. Think it's something written on a sign next where the stairs starts.
    I love Koh Chang - favourite is White Sands.

    Looks cool ..
    great idea with the maps to figure locations out.
    Ya - was in Phuket in ‘86 , so different and tiny compared to now.

    My guess about those machine guns is that they are the relics from "Battle of Ko chang" which is the part of Franco-Thai War (1941).

    • @GreenyTravels

      Ahhh. Thank you

    Visited Koh Chang in early October this year (2023). It was absolutely deserted, due to the rainy weather/off season. Most, not all, of the businesses seemed to be in disrepair and desperate. Still suffering the affects of the lockdown period. The islanders were very nice though. Felt bad for them, and gave large tips trying to help them out a bit. Reading The Thai Leaves on YT. 😊

    • @GreenyTravels

      This place still bouncing back but it’s still a great island

    Do you know that in sunny days , the UV risk factor to develop Skin cancer in Thailand is normally 12 over 12 ?. I would recommend wear some hat or protect from direct sun. I saw in your nose some red spot in a few videos already, be careful and try protect from the sun. I use to have something like that and it finish in a BCC.

    Love how quiet Koh Chang is and not over run by tourists. Not sure if you saw the news recent that they had a fire down Lonely Beach street. Not sure about the amount of damage but it definitely burned a few of hose wooden buildings down the street.

    • @GreenyTravels
      @GreenyTravels  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh. I bet. Easy to happen. So much old wood.

    That's funny. I was on Koh Chang almost exactly one year ago. Had lunch at Annie P's a couple of times. The owner was pretty cool, from the U.S. right? Good burgers. He was friends with the owner of Tigglebitties in Pattaya, pretty much my go to for Western food. I missed that whole section in Bang Bao because there was an elderly woman standing exactly where you were yelling at everyone and trying to charge 200 baht to go in there 😄. Lonely Beach was pretty much deserted. Gret vid. Thanks for bringing back some good memories 👌

    Lol. Ward off the north koreans😂. If that was right next to Bang Bao pier. I think if you look on a map it shows a Thai Naval base.

    @ThailandByondTourism 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Your video is too fast , example when you entered lonely beach street didn't allow to see nothing and streets footage should be shot sometimes around afternoon or early evening so get better idea what places and life looks like in koh chang

    • @nils4409
      @nils4409 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      haha please ask the Thai government. Actually there is a "theoretical way" to get Thai citizenship. A German youtuber made a video about that. Takes many years. At the end of the process you have to sing Thai songs in perfect Thai in front of a jury. Go for it :)!

    • @boogboog8097
      @boogboog8097 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      No, it makes getting residence easier.
      Citizenship is near impossible they are very protective protective against being colonised by mass immigration a big reason why I would live there it will never be islamised.

    • @GreenyTravels
      @GreenyTravels  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Good answers. Definitely not a direct path

  • @bazzaboy
    @bazzaboy 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Ko_Chang , 1941 franco-thai war. I wonder if the naval shrine is related to that?
