Run the Ship

Off the coast of Thailand nearing Cambodia is a little slice of paradise, Koh Chang. On its west coast is Bang Bao Beach, which plays host to an abandoned Cruise Ship that was left there 15 years ago. Previously known as The Galaxy, this floating resort is seven stories tall with 70 guest rooms all now abandoned. Up until 2016, guests could actually stay on it, and found the experience “memorable” in a “am I going to be murdered” sort of way. Rumour has it that it had to permanently close after “an inebriated Russian met an unfortunate and untimely end, falling overboard from the top floor”.

Fortunately there is safer, less terrifying accommodation right next door known as the Koh Chang Boat Chalets which offer good food and a place to crash at night. Not too far into the bush is a waterfall to check out also. Red Bull & Team Farang arrived here to do some free running and got special permission to clamber all over the ship. Personally, I don’t recommend sprinting around on that thing unless you’re fully up to date with your tetanus shots.
