Dog Travels Thailand: Mali Takes You to Koh Chang

The incident occurred five years ago when a golden retriever puppy unexpectedly became a member of my family.

My trip became more difficult, finding accommodation was harder, and I had to prepare more than usual. Leaving it at home was not an option as there was no one to look after it, and entrusting it to someone else was worrisome as Mali is very attached to me.

As a result, we tried to take her to various locations that were accessible. Most hotels and resorts that allow pets typically have a weight limit of 5-10 kilograms. However, there were a few kind establishments that permitted her presence.

After visiting numerous locations, I felt compelled to share my experiences in the hopes of assisting others who own large dogs and desire to take them on excursions.

I hope this is helpful to everyone, even if it's just a little.

Our destination this time is Koh Chang, the second largest island in Thailand. Pack your bags and get ready to travel, here comes the mischievous Mali.

Upon arriving at the pier, a considerable number of fellow travelers were already waiting for the boat.

While waiting for the boat, Mali stepped out to stretch her legs after a long car ride.

The boat has arrived, so go up and sit on the top deck to enjoy the fresh air. There is a sign prohibiting sitting inside the car because it is dangerous in case of an emergency.

During the journey, foreign tourists greeted and took photos with me.

The boat also has a shop, so you won't go hungry. Just relax and you'll be there in no time.

Maps are available to help you navigate, so there's no need to worry about getting lost.

After disembarking, we drove for a short while before arriving at our accommodation.

Tonight's accommodation is Flora i talay, right here at Klong Prao Beach. Upon arrival, we took a souvenir photo with the sign.

The accommodation boasts a comfortable atmosphere and an attractive design.

Visitors should be aware that the swimming pool is located at the front of the property. Please be cautious of children running and jumping into the pool, as this could result in additional expenses during your trip.

A local cat named "Nong Talay" greeted the guests who came to stay. He played with everyone and refused to leave until his owner came to carry him back.

The room is simply decorated, airy and spacious, with a corner glass window near the door, making it feel less cramped.

Let's take a short break to rest and then jump into the water. We'll have some local friends to play with.

When taking your furry friend to the beach, it's crucial to always bring plastic bags to collect their waste. This ensures a clean and enjoyable experience for everyone.

After playing in the water, Mali took a shower in front of the house. There was a faucet and a hose ready (the water pressure was very satisfying). I apologize for forgetting to take a picture to show you. After showering, she was exhausted and lay down on the balcony.

The evening atmosphere is pleasant, and you can enjoy dinner at the resort. Sip on a bitter drink.

The food may have a slightly Westernized flavor, lacking the intense spiciness of traditional Thai cuisine. However, it is still considered acceptable and offers a variety of options, including Thai, Chinese, and Western dishes.

After a while, there was a show by the islanders on the beach. It wasn't very good, but it was entertaining to watch.

The next morning, even though it was already dawn, Mali was still sleepy.

Walking on the beach, I had to take a dump. I didn't forget to pick up my poop every time.

The breakfast area is right on the beach.

Food can be ordered.

And then the rain fell, Mali got dressed and waited to continue her journey.

The accommodation was impressive due to its pleasant atmosphere, with the beach just a stone's throw away. The rooms were clean and simple, and the price was reasonable. The service was excellent, and I would definitely stay there again if I had the opportunity.

Afterward, we stopped for a midday meal at Je Iew Seafood, a spacious and clean restaurant with a diverse menu.

The dishes I ordered were sun-dried squid, tamarind-glazed fried shrimp, and steamed crab. They were all delicious and I enjoyed them very much.

The ingredients are fresh, but the flavors are a bit light. You should try it yourself to see if you like it.

One of the best things about this shop is the owner's love for dogs. She warmly welcomes them and interacts with them in a friendly manner, as she did with my dog, Mali.
