Laguna Resort Samui Ko Samui

The flight to Samui was rickety to say the least and I was actually awake for it, of all the flights I can't sleep on it has to be the horror one, either that or I know from an early age a cute boy when I see one and ladies, this plane was full of them. The gran was very impressed to the point that she was trying to use me to get photos of a guy who was smitten with me, luckily She refused to embarrass us and we ...

... Beach area instead.<br><br>So back to night one. Of course we tore the **** out of it and drank waaaay too much Tiger and Chang beer (Note: Chang beer is 6.4% and will take you over) and ended up swimming at 2am a little worse off....even Orla who can't swim. We got in a fight with a speed boat...and even though there was 7 of us we lost. So great start there...off to bed we go.<br><br>Thursday 03/09/09<br>Our first proper day on Ko ...

... can leave an offering to keep you safe (or sound your horn loudly at it as you pass, contributing to the quiet idyllic atmosphere of the island).<br><br>One weekend we took ourselves on the scooter for a tour of the island, seeking out the high spots of Samui cultural life. We decided to avoid the monkey shows and opted out of the buffalo and cock fighting, on top of that the kart track is temporarily closed. So what does that leave? Of course, the mummified monks! Some of you will ...

... 3: Ian jumping over a flaming ropes.... it seemed like a good idea at the time! Photo 4: Ian hanging off the back of a tuk tuk as it is driving at about 50 mph :O ...you get the idea! Anyway most of the following day was spent in bed.... we didn't miss out on too much as it was raining all day :( The next evening it was time for the full moon partaaay! We were such geeks and bought full moon party t-shirts! Everyone covers themselves in flourescent ...

After a little bit of a hangover, decided to sign up for the detox. For the next week I'll be just writing about ****. The whole point is to get rid of all my toxins and feel refreshed for the year ahead. You're meant to eat healthy and not drink or not go out for a night with Gareth Robertson couple of weeks before - oh well. So, unforunately due to the amount of partying I've being doing over the past month, I think it will be like ...

... will make the trip, but we will see :) Read a few books: Another Ben Elton..this time The First Casualty. Did not dissapoint as i find Ben never has for me...another amazing book and another one in the recommended pile. Martin Mcgartland - Dead man running. The true story of a guy who worked for british intelligence undercover in the IRA... and then got left to fend for him self. Interesting book...but very repetitive and because of this ...

... for being broken into on the night of full moon parties, we booked a room in Baan Tai, one of the closest towns to Haad Rin instead. Now that we had a motorcycle rented, Lisa figured we could save a little more money and baht if she drove us home from the party. I knew that there wasn't much of a chance that I would be in any condition to drive home after an all night party, but Lisa often sobers herself up by the end of a night so the idea was semi-plausible ...

... totally hysterical London cops who were also trying to get out, was told there was really nothing I could do unless I wanted to fly somewhere else and bus it to Bangkok (SO not my goal), came back to my previous bungalow at about noon. If it weren't for the cops, I'd have been totally irritated at a wasted morning, but they were truly the funniest, most sarcastic people I've ever met (even compared to my American cop buddies, Officers Griess ...

... Transport von max. 20 Personen. Worauf dieses Fahrzeug basiert, konnte man nicht mehr nachvollziehen :-) Angekommen am Sammelpunkt mussten wir ca. 1 Stunde auf den naechsten Bustransfer nach Surat Thani warten. Dieser "Bus" war auch unglaublich, gefuehlte 100 Jahre alt, ein Wunder, dass der ueberhaupt noch fahrbereit war - in Deutschland waere so etwas undenkbar :-) Im Bus tropfte das Wasser aus mehreren Loechern ...
