Samed Club Resort Hotel Koh Samet

The decision to move onto Koh Samet, an island about 2 hours north west of Koh Chang, was pretty unanimous. After a week of rain everyone was ready for a change of scenery at the very least. Thueng organised a 10 person private speed boat to ferry us all across to the island from Ban Phe on the mainland. Ten minutes of bumpy James Bond style action later and we were left standing ...

... br> We spent all Saturday playing on the beach or in the water - volleyball, football, water ping-pong, you name it. And Jac lounged on the sand and read. The three of them got painfully sunburned because they didn't put on sunscreen until it was too late. (I've learned my lesson, and put mine on before I even went outside, so I was fine.) But ...

... agencies that charge around 500 Baht for the same trip we took. It was about a four hour drive, and then we had to wait a while for a ferry to take us to the island for 50 baht each, one way.<br><br>We arrived to the island and wandered around on the beach looking for a place when we ran into a traveller we met in Bangkok, so we ended up staying at the same place, where we have a non-airconditioned room (though it's quite ...

... the hills and using the engines to go up the hills and overall, we had a great time and went right to the bottom of the island whch is T shaped and then sat on a beach and drank ice tea and chatted about going back to the 'sunset point' at sunset. It was lovely! However. Our friends Emma and Helen were sharing a moped and had been complaining that the brakes weren't very good (Their moped did look like a novelty one compared to the rest - it was pink ...

... move it!!! we were by no means hurt, we had actually stopped by the time it wobbled over, but i learnt my lesson and drove much more carefully there after! i'll definitely hire them again and have insisted that Helen drive me next time! Dave left this morning but we've replaced him with another friend... a Mongolian guy called 'Nemo' (we'll be getting ourselves a reputation)! We've never met a Mongolian guy before so were ...

... two bucks a bottle). The bar has been closed the last two nights at my place, which sucks, but its open tonight evidently for a "party." I am wondering what that is going to entail, but I do think its going to involve drinking the local favorite--which is a mixture of Mekong Whiskey (which, by the way it turns out, is just rum), coke, and Red Bull. Red Bull is originally Thai, but here it is ...

... so will update you on events. I'm geting bitten to **** which muzzy thinks is well funny, he says he's not bothering with insect repelant just sticking close to me and hoping they don't want dessert. Had a few ickle issue's yesterday, we decided to exploring on the harley mo-ped, we'd already done one side of the Island it was brilliant, so thought best to have a gander at the otherside, it's all big winding roads, with 45 degre drops and climbs ...

... hi to them. Take a break for some drinks, and the Germans left shortly after. Around 1am the World Cup came on and we went back to the Dutch owned bar to watch the game. I fell asleep a few times during the game so at half time we went back to the bungalow to go to bed.<br><br>July 10th<br>Woke up at 10am, put my swimsuit on and down to eat breakfast at a restaurant on the beach.
