After what seemed like endless hours of traveling, we’ve made it home and are back in Los Angeles. At the moment, I’m in bed with food poisoning from the “meal” China Airlines fed us. With nothing to do and a few hours to kill before I can sleep, I wanted…
We chose Koh Chang as the last destination of our trip because it’s semi-close to Bangkok and we read that it is one of the last cheap Thai islands. Spending the past few days here has been a perfect last chapter to our adventure. I’m not a huge fan of…
