Si Racha Pier, Chonburi, Thailand

The Si-Chang Island (Koh Si Chang) is an island off Chonburi province of Thailand (where Pattaya city is located), less known among foreign tourists. This island offers a peaceful atmosphere with fresh air ideal for relaxing. The island has got fairly priced transport service (with the unique "skylab" tuk-tuks) and restaurants making it suitable for a low budget tour. A ferry service is operated from Si Racha Pier (also known as Choem Chumphon Pier) frequently at a nominal charge.

While I was waiting at the Si Racha Pier for the ferry to go to Si-Chang Island, the beauty of this Chinese temple attracted me.

A Ladybird in Khao Kaeng Krachan, Thailand

  • Khao Daeng Viewpoint

We missed the caves and view points on hills due to rainy weather during July. But, it was really a blessing in disguise, as the rainy weather which disrupted our tour also gave this nice setting of a colourful sunrise.
