When I rule the world i'm going to ban sand!
We stayed on Lamai beach on Ko Samui for four days (as far as we can remember)! We were in idyllic little beach huts with thatched roofs that you could almost see the sea from and certainly hear it! Now I would just like to shatter this ...
Living the Dream 5 star style

Ice Bar
Skrevet av Lasse. Idag har vi slappet av på stranda i timesvis og forhåpentligvis fått litt farge på kroppene våre. Det ville vært en smule kjipt å komme hjem fra denne turen og ikke være brunere enn dere der hjemme ;P Når solen hadde gått ned ...

Escape from Bangkok
So we've made it to Koh Samui after a 12 hour train ride, 1 ferry and 2 taxis. Total cost: Roughly £40 for the 2 of us- not bad considering we've travelled half the country! The train ride was an experience- our 1st class carriage was pretty small, ...
