Time flies!
It must be 14 years ago I checked into the Miami Hotel on Sukh soi 13, and nervously made way to Nana and Casanova, later venturing to Clinton Plaza. I think my second trip to Thailand, but the one when I chose to bite the pillow, repeatedly, before making my way to Koh Chang, which in those day was pretty quiet and largely undeveloped.
For anyone who knows Koh Chang as it is now, try and picture Lonely Beach with literally no one else at all there. The road from the ferry was only paved as far as White Sands the rest was just dirt track. Those were the days.
