Despite their financial constraints, the people of Si Chang remain determined to travel.

This was not a solo trip, nor a couple's trip, but rather an odd-numbered group outing. The story began similarly to other couple's trips, with one person messaging on LINE, saying, "Take me on a trip, I'm not feeling refreshed. I don't mind where we go." Chom, being easygoing, planned the trip and confirmed it. Initially, the destination was Hua Hin, but it was later changed to Koh Sichang. We then invited one or two more people to join, and ended up with one additional person.

Initially, the trip was scheduled for the 18th and 19th, but I really wanted to go, so I decided to postpone it. In the end, it was changed to the 11th and 12th.

Departed from the dormitory at approximately 6:30 AM. Took a bus from Major Cineplex Rangsit to Robinson Sriracha. The bus fare was 160 baht per person.

Upon arriving in Si Racha, we took a tuk-tuk to the pier for 60 baht per ride. The ferry tickets cost 50 baht per person, and the ferry departed around 11:00 AM.

Ferry schedules to the island are available at 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, and 11:00 AM (as far as I remember, afternoon schedules are uncertain).

We booked accommodation at Puang Phayom Resort for 900 baht for 3 people. They included an extra mattress and a motorbike rental. We also rented an additional motorbike for 250 baht.

Roughly, we plan to travel as follows:

A must-see is the King Rama V Palace and the Phra Phuttha Yodfa Chulalok Maharaj Royal Pavilion.

Our first stop was the Phra Chuthathut Rajathan

A significant tourist destination on Koh Sichang, located south of Tha Thewawong Pier. Built during the reign of King Rama V as a summer residence, it features stunningly constructed buildings situated on terraced hills. The complex comprises four royal pavilions, 14 royal residences, and a pavilion. It boasts beautiful gardens, ponds, streams, fountains, caves, and cliffs. The area's picturesque landscape is reminiscent of Western-style palace gardens, adorned with various structures.



Next is the Atsadang Bridge.

Continue walking to the green wooden house by the sea. There, you can find drinks and ice cream for sale.

The Green House (abbreviated as "Green House") does not provide cat props. We brought our own.

After that, I went back to take a shower and waited for the time to watch the sunset. I went to watch the sunset at Khao Khad Viewpoint.

After that, we went to eat at Krua Ai Talay.

The ordered menu consisted of deep-fried seafood, which contained mostly baby corn, carrots, and onions, with only 3 pieces of squid for 200 baht. Tom Yum Po Taek was 150 baht, and rice was 15 baht per plate, with 3 plates ordered.

After that, we went to relax at the beach in front of the police station. The downside of this place is that it is a crowded community and there are no nightlife options.

It's coming... Let's watch the sunrise at Phra Chulachomklao Fort, Asdang Bridge.

The sun has risen.


After that, we rode our motorbikes to the beach at Tham Khao Phang.

The road to the beach is very steep, so the passenger was tense, and the driver was also tense, fearing that the passenger would get hurt.

We rushed to make time for sightseeing because we were starting to get hungry. From Khao Phang Cave Beach, we continued to Laem Ngu and Tha Ya Tim.

The path down to the pier was very steep, so we held the brakes tightly. However, I didn't take any pictures of the way down for you to see.

After that, I went back to my room to shower, get dressed, pack my things, and return the motorbike.

It's time to go home. Let's buy tickets to get on the boat. On the way here, we sat on the upper deck. On the way back, we will sit on the lower deck.

After a 45-minute boat ride, we reached the shore. The return trip on a tuk-tuk to Robin's Inn cost the same as before, 60 baht per trip. We then bought tickets for a van and returned home. That concludes our trip. A summary of expenses is provided below.
