Surat Thani
Surat Thani was just a stop-over to break up the trip from Koh Pha Ngan to Khao Sok. A fairly average Thai town it seems, with no real points of interest other than a night market. Having said that, accommodation was really cheap and the people were ...
Barf-O-Nomitron - Surat Thani --> Koh Samui

No Sleep on The Night Boat!
To save money on a nights accommadation, we bought a ticket for the night boat, which took us from Koh Phangan to Surat Thani. It definately wasn't the Hilton, but it served its purpose & got us to the mainland safely & cheaply, albeit ...

Koh Samui (Thailand) - 16th March 2008. A very early start as we had a 30 minute tender ride to the shore (as we were not in a port). Six of us were taken on a luxurious mini bus in convoy with lots of buses and 4 wheel drives to begin our ...
