Higher prices, costs of boat etc everytime you want to go somewhere. Very controlled by local maffia. 

Ferry 180 baht return with car if you get a yearly card at Centrepoint,

You can buy almost anything on Koh Chang Thailand's SECOND largest Island.

   yes............You must be confused if you wander into the I.O 4 days before your Yearly Visa runs out and ask for a 90 day check

I had some nice condos on Phuket, but moved away due to lack of public transport and rip off dangerous taxi drivers.( and the rain !!!).   I stay 4/5 months usually, so doesn’t merit buying a car. I am thinking of going back for holidays tho as I miss my friends. I love Koh Chang, and go there for holidays, great hotels, great restaurants, mostly lovely people.  Not to live there tho. That said, I doubt I’d live on an island anywhere.
