Sandy Resort Hotel Ko Samui

... comfortable in our 2000bt a nite "Pent Hut Suite" which we got for 1/2 price! And that the beautiful white sand beach is right outside our door so sitting on our balcony is really enough movement for the day....

Am I making you jealous yet?!?!

Bo Phut (Fisherman's Village) where we are staying is a great little place. Beautiful beach (although Blair's been a bit picky about the water not being crystal clear some days!) a ...

we have spent the last 3 nights in a luxury resort "passage resort" based on the north west of samui, a very quiet and underdeveloped area of the island, the hotel is new and very well designed, the resturant bills were a little crazy, tasha ordered a portion of french fries and a smoothie, it cost 500 baht thats 10 pounds sterling, i think they will need to re-think the prices, so we decided to rent a moped and go to the closest town for lunch and dinner, dinner ...

... way to find employment is to visit Ayutthaya in person. Bring multiple resumes, teaching certificates, and copies of degrees if you have them. However, if truth be told, some teachers find work even without these credentials. Travelers are sometimes hired even if they are not native-English speakers. Once you are in Ayutthaya, ask around to find the perfect match for your needs; according to your skills, qualifications, and student-age preferences.

... the Germans, they're going places but the Thais are like the Italians''. The Berlusconi style over substance thing is not quite fair to the smiling Thais as they're pretty slick and get can get things done. Though sadly we struggle to find a Western European comparison to Laos and Cambodia, they're so desperately poor with such corrupt leadership it's hard to have much hope. What an incredible year. Right now we cannot wait to get back to our jobs...yeah right. Until the next trip..

... je reviens en avion le 28 mars à 11H30 de Krabi pour repartir à 17H pour Sydney. Du coup j aurai juste deux petits sacs avec celui qui contiens l eeepc ! beaucoup plus simple ! J ai longtemps hésité à laisser le gros sac au suk11 pour 20 baths la journée alors qu'à l'aéroport c'est 100 baths mais si on considère le temps d'aller le rechercher ( environ 3 heures aller et retour) plus le coup (environ 300 baths en bus) j' ai préféré le laisser à l'aéroport pour finalement moins cher que ...

... was a great atmosphere! On the beach we danced for hours having an awesome time. Trev was heoric in stopping a girls bag from being stolen by a group of Thai men and luckily still lives to tell the tale. We had locked all our valuables away and only took out the money we needed with us as we had heard so many stories of cameras and bags being stolen, we didn't want to risk it. The next morning we were heading back to the main land, Bangkok.

... maalauksen. Toivottavast ei jaa tulliin. Aloin suunnittelemaan jo uuden tatuoinnin ottamistakin aikani ratoksi. Eilen istuin tatuointiliikkeessa varmaan nelja tuntia niskat kipeena kattelemassa lehtia ja valokuvia ja luonnoksia. Eihan siel mitaan just hyvaa ollu, mut yks kaveri varmaan piirtaa mulle sit kuvan. Parin paivan paasta. Kattoo sit tuleeko otettua ihan iholle asti, vai vaan se paperi. Tanaan tormasin sellaiseen ihanaan ...

... had one of the best showers in it so far in Thailand (probably because it's so hot). I showered in my bikini due to voices nearby and it being possible to look in from the outside if tried. No peeping accidents to report however.

Near our hut is a beach party taking place later on. I hope to go and have a look around. The beach is probably cooler than our tinnen hut so I think its a cunning plan!

Ben & Sarah flew today. I hope they are ok."

... We took a tour out to Angthong National Marine Park (basically a cluster of 42 islands to the west of Ko Samui) We wanted to try some kayaking and snorkelling so this seemed like the perfect day trip - even if it was an early start 7.30am! We got picked up by the wrong company brough about 200m down the road before they realised we werent meant to be with them before being dumped back to our resort to await our proper Air con bus! Thank god we thought ...
