I’m thinking of spending a winter on Ko Chang, from October/November until February/March, and some info would be very welcome.

 

* How hard/easy is it to find a house or apartment for 4-6 months? I don’t need much, a fully furnished one-bed house or apartment, or even a studio, would do for me. How much would that cost per month?

* How big (small?) is the expat community on the island?

* Is there a good bakery on the island?

* I love to hike and I’ve been told there’s plenty of opportunities for that. What’s the nature situation like? Any original jungle left on the island?

* Also very important: how is the air quality? 
 

Any advice and/or tips would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks!
