I'm very glad to see that you started the New Year by posting about your trip to Koh Chang, Thailand. Very nice trip and it seems that you had great times during your stay there.

Very beautiful photos of the island! The beach is wonderful. The water is clear and clean. The sunset at the beach is magnificent. Great capture!

I like your imagination; i.e. "Seaweed pretending to be an octopus", "these palm trees were the inspiration for hand-held folding fans", etc. Yeah! I absolutely agree, "sometimes people draw inspiration from nature".

The waterfall is beautiful surrounding with nice nature! The rocks are wonderful. Sorry to know that the lady lost her phone there.

The elephant is one of my favorite animals. They are very cute and clever. I would love to see them live freely in the forest, and not in small spaces like these, too. I much regret to see the unfortunate and the treatment of the elephants at this place. You are very kind to them in feeding them some bananas instead of riding them.

Thanks so much for sharing your photos and your experience in Thailand with us. You are welcome to Thailand again at any times.

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year! ;)
