Could I Actually Live Here? (Thailand Test Week 🇹🇭)

On our final day aboard the Lagoon 400 in Thailand, we sail back to the charter base and say goodbye to an incredible week on the water.

But the adventure doesn’t stop there…

Koh Chang has been on my radar as a potential place to spend more time — maybe even retire one day. It’s insanely beautiful, affordable, and feels like a hidden paradise.

So instead of leaving, we decided to stay.

We rented a beachfront bungalow for a week to test it out…
• Is there enough to do?
• Would I get bored?
• Could I actually live here long-term?

This is my honest first look at what life in Koh Chang, Thailand is really like.

If you’ve ever thought about living abroad or finding your own version of paradise… this might surprise you.
