Rajapruek Samui Resort Ko Samui

... with a thick Southern
dialect which is even difficult for northern Thais to understand.
With this broad mixture of cultures, Ko Samui is always celebrating some tradition or another, including western.

... the latest “Car” magazine, some plain chocolate Bounties and some Molten Brown toiletries - well worth the three flights from Sumatra!

It was lovely to catch up with Suzy and to be back in her beach house again. We spent a thoroughly enjoyable ten days of swimming in the sea outside the house, revisiting all our favourite haunts on the island and in Tracey’s case, having lots of spa treatments with Suzy ...

Wir haben uns 4 Mopeds ausgeborgt - Christa faehrt alleine und Irmi und Trixi fahren bei den Männern mit. Gleich nach dem Frühstück fahren wir ca. 3km in den Norden - zum besten Schnorchelplatz auf der Insel. Eine kleine Insel ist nur mit einem Sandstreifen mit dem Festland verbunden und direkt vorm Strand ist auch das Riff. Klasser ...

... you had to go by boat that took 45 min. in the very dark sea. Apparently a couple of years ago 16 people were killed, because the boat capsized. Boy I was so not going. Anyways they didn't find a party that night and LJ had been looking for one ever since, thankfully finding a couple before we left our paradise.
We have sadly left our friends and beaches behind and are in Bangkok this weekend. We fly to Hong Kong tuesday ...

Time to go ...

... drove to a secluded beach in the north of the island to do some snorkelling...WOW! After we got over how stupid and funny we looked in the snorkel and flippers (ha!) we headed out into the sea... it is clear blue and so warm, nothing like the grotty north sea! The snorkelling was out of this world, there were beautiful coral reefs and so many different fish, amazing! We are off to Koh Tao on the 12th.... can't wait! Lots of love to you all, Kate and Ian x x x

... the end as there is a good chance we might have got lost, traversing rocks and walking through the jungle. I was incredibly sweaty and exhausted but glad to make it too the top and take in the stunning view of the island...the sounds in the jungle were also really cool...the random bird noises and whatever else really added to the atmosphere...plus we didn't see another tourist the whole time. Ohhh and i graduated to a bigger motor bike, will ...

... Tai we stopped in at 7/11 to buy some Beer Chang, water and other supplies. The 950 ml bottles of water that had been 6 baht everywhere else in Thailand was 10 baht on the island. The 640 ml bottles of Beer Chang that had been 34 to 36 baht in northern and central Thailand, was 38 baht here. Even packaged snacks that had a price of 10 baht printed right on them were 12 baht on this island. This was still very affordable, especially compared to Canadian prices ...

... muito diferente de Albufeira ou alguns sítios no sul de Espanha. Como sabiamos disto, preferimos ficar em Hat Mae Nam, na mais calma costa norte. Este é definitivamente um sítio mais calmo (quase demasiado calmo!), e estavamos practicamente sozinhos no hotel onde ficámos. Passámos o primeiro dia descontraídos na "nossa" praia, e nos dois dias seguintes alugámos uma moto para visitarmos o resto da ilha. As estradas em Ko Samui são bastante movimentadas, e ...

... was like walking into an oven. The heat was even more intense here! We picked a hotel at the airport (which was the cutest little airport ever!) and made our way there by mini bus. We were staying in Lamai, which is the 2nd biggest resort on the island. The hotel was nice. We had a pool room for the first night but would have to move to a Garden view room for the next 2 nights. The room was lovely. The hotel was only a year old. We ditched the bags and ...
