Some don't like Island life, but Koh Chang has been my choice now for many years, If I had to move Ban Chang would be first choice, not to far from BKK or Pattaya. 

Is there night life on Koh Chang?

I am planning to settle in here love the culture.

If you are going to be like a few members here on AN forums, who are sat behind the keyboard from sun up to sun down, it makes no difference where you are located.

Little bit. Some girly bars and Irish pub. Low key stuff.

Irish Pub 'Paddys' is now closed and been up for sale a long time. Next door The White Elephant do some good food and Guinness. Oh yes and they have just put new Bitumen up and over the 'mountain' and beyond.

I always lived where they mailed my paycheck.  I don't see where the OP is planning to get a job, work from his laptop, or retire.

Post offices are everywhere as are banks and ATMs what are you talking about ?

"where they mailed my paycheck" is slang for "where my office was"  Or "where the company wanted me to live".  If the OP needs a traditional (good paying) job, that severely limits the places he can choose from.  Tough to find an office job, for example, on Koh Chang.

I have never heard of that expression ever, is that an American thing ?

 

Might be a Texas, or even just an oilfield expression.

 

It went along with "Mungo only pawn in game of life" when we were talking about where we'd move for our next assignment.  We usually had no say, except whether to accept the next assignment or walk on down the road kicking rocks.

Are you kidding me Pattaya is full of 'Druggies' weekly stories of people off their head, shootings, stabbings, punch ups, that is almost unheard of on KC.

You've got the wrong end of the stick again i was referring to koh Phangan
