Thailand Pt. 4-- Koh Chang

The rest of the time on the island, we spent relaxing and doing really random things.

I found out that the majority of the people that come to Thailand are from Sweden. So there were a TON of Swedish people around. People kept asking me if I was Swedish. So weird.

Then some guy asked me if I was Indian, like as in from India. What about me screams "I'M FROM INDIA!!!"???

It certainly isn't the tan... or the oh-so-natural brown hair...

Ridiculous. I think he just wanted to talk to me. Not the best pick up line.

I went with Erik to get a massage. I've only ever gotten a massage once in my life and it was weird. MOSTLY because I don't like to be touched by strangers. Call me a prude, but I like for people to keep their hands to themselves unless otherwise notified.

It was a nice massage on the beach. You could hear the waves and the slight breeze. Except... Thai massages are uber painful. LITTLE DID I KNOW!! I thought I was going to stop breathing forever at a few points. Note to self... stick to the swedish massages, less pain.

Erik and I went to this bar on the beach so he could have a beer and I could have a strawberry smoothie. What can I say... I'd rather have a good smoothie than alcohol, any day.

A couple nights we went up north to the white sands area and hung out there. One of the nights we saw a really rad fire show... I gots it on video :)

(Looking at my arms right now, I think I accidently got a tan. I didn't spend a lot of time in the sun doing NOTHING. I hate laying out, complete waste of time... But, I do tend to tan when I come in contact with sunlight. YAY!)

On our last day on Koh Chang we rented scooters (everyone and their mother rides scooters around the island). We then rode them to this area where you could hike to a waterfall.

The waterfall was beautiful! AND, you could swim in the water at the bottom of it. It was too hard to resist. So I went swimming in my underwear. If I had KNOWN, I would have worn my swimsuit. OH WELL! It was quite refreshing and we all jumped off the little cliff into the water. So awesome.

When we were done with that we rode our scooters around for awhile cause they were way too much fun to return too early.

Then we got into our hired car and drove back to Bangkok for the final few days of our trip.
