We spent our last day at a different resort on Koh Mak called Koh Mak Resort (very original, we know). Our first resort was too busy and loud for us. We have been spoiled with luxury and solitude. Koh Mak resort was back to that. We spent most of the day near the infinity pool on the beach - gorgeous.
We walked to a quaint Italian/Thai Restaurant, Pasta e Papaya. I ordered prawns with asparagus and fennel and Kilee ordered a veggie pasta. My dish was served with the full sized prawns staring at me. A bit nerve-wracking I must admit. After discard the body, I enjoyed my meal immensely. Kilee's meal was tasty as well.
We went to bed early (which we've been doing a lot -- early to bed and early to rise). Yes, that's right I've managed to get up everyday at 7 am. Hold your applause.
We took a boat shuttle from Koh Mak to Koh Chang which docked in Bang Bao, a fishing village famous for it's pier containing crafts, services, and restaurants. We ate a little cafe, Casa del Mar. I continued my curry eating streak with a green curry with shrimp. Unreal - again.
We grabbed a taxi and headed to our last island resort - boo. It is just minutes from Bang Bao and called Nirvana. It is the most isolated resort on Koh Chang - exactly what we were looking for. There are two pools - one heated and one fresh water fed with small rock waterfall. We spent the afternoon next to the rock pool. We were the only ones there. Laying in the sun with the sound of the waterfall near us -- really exceptional.
As we were leaving, a lady and diver master dropped into the rock pool. She was getting some closed water scuba training. I will be looking into what type of certification I could get while we're here. Kilee is already open water certified so I need to catch up to her.
For dinner, we went to Tantra, Nirvana's restaurant. It faces the Bang Bao bay and overhangs the water. We had a wonderful meal - veggie curry and sea bass. It was built 2 years ago for an Englishman's wedding. Great view and design. We loved it!
Love you all.
Dan and Kilee
