Baan Chaweng Beach Resort & Spa Ko Samui

... port which was about 1.5 hours and then jumped on the ferry which took me straight to Koh Samui. Lovely ride - again about 2 hours - lovely blue ocean and small islands all around - the FREEDOM!

So arrived in Nathon and was whisked away on the back of a moped for 250 baht to Lamai where I was booked in at the Spa Samui. I had been referred her by a couple of good friends as a good place for some serious Rand R.

... after finding a park near the beach and scrambling up and down rock faces we found ourselves looking around a deserted beach for the figures and stumbled across the "Rock Bar" which at first seemed a bit surreal, a reggae music bar serving cool beverages under a huge rock face. It seemed crazy at first so we had a drink then asked the way to the rock formations and were shown up the hill to a village full of bars and markets. Apparently we had ...

... do your open dive course, so still contemplating it now, although takes 5 days and I still have so much of Thailand to see before I am off to Oz.

Well that is where I am at for now, hope you are all real well and British summertime has finally arrived. So need to get someone to help me get the photo's on as they will illustrate the tales well. You can email me with what you are all upto through this travelpod, myleslorna@googlemail.com or FB, miss you.

... They offered a comprehensive TEFL certificate program – internationally recognized – that included components such as phonics, grammar, lesson planning, methodology, and six observed teaching practices (allowing me to develop on my weaker points). As a bonus they offered a free course on the Thai language. I was attracted to this program because it trained teachers to work with both adults and children who are learning English as a foreign language. More importantly, this ...

... to sort out the travel weariness followed by an hour long massage for all of us - a foot massage. Awesome. The last couple of days we have eaten Thai curries and had massages so not a lot to report really. We had lobster last night, cooked in garlic and pepper - they were sensational with a side dish of Pad Thai and some Chang beer. We went to the same bar before and after dinner and had 10,000 beers. The children played ...

... apprentissage de photos que j'avais laissé tombé depuis un bon moment ! Je n'en suis qu'à la moitiée en fait ! Mais comme c'est en anglais il y a des choses techniques que je ne pige pas très bien ! Je m'en rachèterai un en français à mon retour. Il a plut un peu et du coup la plage s'est complètement vidée. J'ai trouvé super de pouvoir chanter toute seule sur mon transat « Ko samui..sous la pluie ».. ! Cela n'a duré que peu de temps et après le soleil et revenu en force chassant tous ...

As for my time in Ko Samui, it was great! Our snorkeling trip allowed us to see the most beautiful areas that Ko Samui and the surrounding islands had to offer. The colors of the coral were very vibrant and it's nice to see that most of it is still living. I did learn that fish love to eat bread. And I thought bread was just for the ducks! We chose not to do any of the other day activities as most of it was a repeat of things I/we had already done ...

Scuba wrestling is a sport. It happens underwater. It's more fun that way. The objective is to drown one's competitor before one's air runs out. Matches are held in freezing cold water so that the loser(s) can be brought back to life without brain damage, sometimes. As the season progresses, the water becomes warmer and warmer so that more and more brain damage befalls the loser. Better ratings that way. The winnings are ...
