Weekender Resort & Hotel Koh Samui Ko Samui

... spot and we enjoyed some cocktails and played cards at their bar. The next few hours were full of taxing sunbathing and reading. <br><br>Around 4, we headed back to the hotel for sunset at the 2-for-1 happy hour and had a great afternoon snack of mai tais and Singha beer. After all of our beach walks, we treated our feet to a foot massage at one of the many beach front cabanas.<br><br>This evening we are going to head to Captain Kirks and ...

... Jen) and we got into a minibus. A couple of guys already on the bus were Koh Tao dive instructors who make the journey frequently and they said that the jetty we arrived at was not the usual one and there must be some sort of problem or perhaps the weather meant the usual jetty was not usable. Anyway, we were conveyed through the dark and rainy night with no idea where we were and dumped on the doorstep of Save House (we still don&#8217;t know ...

... nearly 2 months...tho it seemed a hell of a lot longer! We basically spent the next couple of days beach bumming on one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches Thailand has to offer, which was a perfect way to come down from the exausting partying that I had partaken in a few days prior. This relaxing lull didnt last long however as Monday 13th marked a day that I had been waiting for with almost as much anticpation as I had the Full Moon Party...... Songkran!!<br><br>The ...

... I think we overdid it slightly as Ian looked like a tomato by the end of the day, aww! :( We also went to a ladyboy cabaret... possibly the funniest experience of both of out lives! Some of the ladyboys are so beautiful! Although the ugliest one (think a fat version of cruela de vil!) took a shine to Ian! We got a few funny photos! Next stop Koh Phangan! x x x

... to cool off in the cyrstal water before setting back off again, this time - on a kayak. This is a new experience for us so when they put me and andy in one and let us lose we instantly were going the wrong way and crashing into people as if it were dodgems. Once we got into it, it was fun and we coould muck around and see how fast we could go! It was hard work though, a bit of a strain on the arms and back. We have had a good workout today ...

... I couldn't find the guys, as I found out later we mix up directions as to where they were staying. So I stayed a couple nights in the very north beach of Al Chalokum. I met a nice hippy couple from LA/Seattle &amp; they tripled me (with my bags) on the back of their scoot scoot as I tried to find somewhere to stay. We went out for drinks &amp; dinner that night to a small bar &amp; played pool. The next day I rented a scoot scoot (which is pretty much ...

... didnt like it, tough ****! So why was i looking at the moon all night? Well i honestly couldnt figure out if the moon was entirely full or just missing a smidden or not, id managed to work myself into a case of minor paranoia, convinced id got the nights wrong and id arrive at an island with a collective massive hangover with everyone informing me about "the bestest night ever ever ever ever". But that wasnt the case, i was greeted by half a dozen moto ...

... happy to hear my voice, and also had several requests for custom made presents from the tailor for my sisters and aunts. Read a bit, went to bed early to the sound of rain. So this morning I woke up at 7am, rarin' to go...took a (still cold, hokey pokey) shower, felt fresh and wonderful, and ventured out...only to find that nothing opens til 10am. WTF people. So I wandered up and down til I found a place that was open, got an ...

... finally got there! When we set off from Bangkok at 7:45pm, we thought we'd get into Ko Samui at 9am - not 2pm! But it was fine, just a bit of a long journey! The hotel was fab though, really really nice for the money we were paying. Nice restaurant next to it, nice bed and a TV!!! The island itself, was nice, not much to do but to relax by the beach. Though we did first think that the center of town was this tiny little shack ...
