Tropical Island life on Koh Larn, Thailand

Taking a break from van life in Australia, I've been staying in China for the last 2 months, immersing myself in the culture of small towns. Now I'm off to Thailand for a slight change of scenery.

I'm Jason, a retired Mechanical Engineer. Back in Australia I've been living in my self built Ford Transit campervan for the last 18 months. I retired early, sold my house and hit the road with no plans to ever settle down. I spend my days mountain biking, bush walking and generally exploring new places.

Been to Thailand about 20 times over the last 15 or so years and always loved it. I haven't been here for about 6 years now, so does it still feel the same or has the spark gone now?

After spending 2 weeks in crazy Pattaya, I decided to spend a few days over on Koh Larn, a small island that's just a 40min ferry ride from Pattaya. I've only ever visited one beach on the island in the past so figured it was time to take a few days and have a look around.
