Koh Samui

Koh-conut Samui

Back into Thailand
After a relaxing brunch at Javas in Phnom Penh we caught a not so relaxing tuk tuk to the airport where we flew to Koh Samui. Possibly the best airport ever, it was just some pretty huts with flowers everywhere. We stayed in a lovely guesthouse in Chaweng ...
Koh Samui....meh....
So, yesterday i arrived in Koh Samui after an all-night bus ride leaving Bangkok at 6pm. The bus was actually pretty cool - we had a group of about 8 of us on a massive double decker, so we go to spread across 2 reclining seats each and steal about 4 ...

Trecking, Laos, Southern Thailand
... see the lucky Booda. I guess we were lucky! That night we took an overnight train south, with an ultimate destination of Koh Samui, a place with beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, the overnight train absolutely sucked. No ...
Unexpected Stop!

Koh Samui

Round The Islands - Part 1c

The White party
After chilling in the pool all afternoon, we changed and all met on the beach. Everyone had to dress in white only and Bronwyn was dressed in her wedding colour of navy blue. It looked so amazing against the backdrop of the beach!! We had the most ...
Santa Claus is Coming to Town!
... at the end of our stay, we will have to take the ferry back. Hopefully the seas will be calmer by then. Our stay in Koh Samui prior to the hideous ferry ride was dampened by the bad weather but we managed to read a lot and get ourselves that decadent ...
