Got up at 8am and went to get the boat over to Ko Samui, when we arrived there we heading straight to Silver beach in between Lamai and Chewang, but alas they were full, so we headed back down to Lamai, and checked int Sea breeze resort for 1 night. We went out fro Breakfast at Churchills where we had not a bad fry up, and then spent the day relaxing on the beach, just about 5 or 6 down from our resort, awful as you can imagine!
We then decided to get up and sort our lives out before dinner, we went back to churchills and then onto a bar to watch the footie, where Liverpool very ashamedly drew with Luton!!! Laura's birthday was the next day, so had planned to get her some balloons and deccies for the room, and everytime she was gonna head off back to hotel, she decided to stay for another drink, so I sneekily went to go to shop, and she came with me!! So kept asking her to look for things in the shop for me, while I cunningly bought balloons and hats! W then make our way back at about 2am!

Laura's Birthday
Got up early and sneeked out if room, and went to Duncans to blow up balloons and write card etc, by time I got back to room, Laura had got up and gone to Lisa and Gary, so planted balloons and cued up Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday to Ya, and then went to fetch Laurs..... Ahhhh there were tears of joy!! Bless her, a tiny birthday party! So we checked out and headed back to Silver Beach, where rooms had become available.
We all sat on the beach for a while before Laura and I headed off to go to the dentist and opticians while the others sorted out a hirecar.
We got dentist, who could not fiot us in, so then we went to Opticians where I got contact lenses at a steal, and then walked into Lamai, did a bit of shopping, and picked up laundry before calling the others to get picked up. They turned up in a people carrier, and they all looked VERY SPECIAL as they pulled up waving! So went back to hotel before headong off into Chewang for birthday celebrations! We went to the Loft for dinner, and then had a look round the shops, before stopping at 7 11 fro drinks etc to take back to silver beach,where we sat for a couple of hours having a drink on the beach, then it was off to bed for our fun filled day that approached.

We headed off early and made the waterfall the first port of call, the walkway down was just a mud track, so i freaked out and decided against going down, so i waited up to the top for them to come back, and when they did, they were all disappointed, as suspected it was a trickle as opposed to a fall!! So made our way to the Tiger Zoo, where we greeted with random Tiger cubs just wandering around, so cute! We didn't bother goling in, as we had seem the best of it at the entrance, so instead went fot breakfast to discuss next movements. We decided upon the snake farm! We arrived there and it was just a little family run place which had loads of Snakes, croc's monitor lizards etc. We went to see the main event, which they literally started hen we were ready as we were the only visitors...... First a guy came on with scorpions and millipedes, he was putting them down his trousers etc, but the best bit was the guy commentating, he could have just sat there and entertained himself all day, you could not understand a word, and he would just giggle and go highpitched, saying the other guys has no wife or girlfriend, and no penis, what with putting live creatures down his trousers!!! The guys then proceeded to put scorpins all over his face, crazy mo fo!!!
Then the snake man came out with is 3 cobras, it was cruel, yes, but the entertainment factor was better. So anyway he messed about with these snakes for a while and did a couple of tricks and then he bought out the Burmese Python, which Lisa and I (aswell as Gary and Dunc) got to hold with pure excitement, pictures will be added! It was great. He finished his routine with another snake that he appeared to put into a trance, it was very clever and he made it kind of play dead........probably was eh!! Not really, but yeah, onwards and upwards to the Monkey theatre.
We arrived there, and as you walked in there was a monkey called Cutey, and she was indeed, straight onto Gary for a cuddle, we walked around looking at all the monkeys, who took an instant dislike to me, as the owner was talking to me, and they were getting jealous, when I got a bit too close to the cages, one grabbed and pulled my hair, indeed a cheeky little monkey!!!! We then went and watched main attraction, again started when we were ready, and a monket stood on my head, and then the guy tied my hnds up in rope and the monkey was to untye, well he started, and suddenly stopped and walked off to have a piss, which I thought very polite of the monkey!! He came back finished untying, job done clever fella!!! The guys then showed us how they use moneky for work, by sending them up trees to coolect coconuts, Marvellous!!!
We then went on to the Massive Buddha on Ko Samui, and chceked that out, all wrote our names on the bricks, which will then used to help conserve, or thats what they say to get you to part with 20baht! Thenit was back to Resort, as Laura and Dunc were leaving that night, sad sad times
So we sat and had a drink at the resort before Laura and Dunc had to leave at 6.30pm, it was awful, I even lost one of my new contact lenses from shedding a tear....
Saff and I booked up to leave for Ko Lanta in the morning and then sat and had dinner with Lisa and Gary, before saying our goodbyes to them............................and arranged to meet in a week or so at Ton Sai
