Finally reached
the dock, the bus drove directly to the ferry, the driver motioned to us can get
off. We went to the second floor, there are already a lot of people waiting for
the boat away. The boat has a grocery store, you can buy food and drinks. I am

endless night.
After the ferry dock, we ride, went to Koh Chang. In the night, the bus driving on the road around the island, all the way through the White Sand Beach, Klong Prao and other northern beaches area.
