Koh Samui, Thailand

Another early start to get us to Koh Samui. What was meant to be a nice air conditioned bus ride to Don Sak in the Southern Gulf of Thailand....turned out to be the hottest, fastest and bumpiest bus ride ever, thanks to a unique bus driver!!
From Don Sak you get the ferry across to Na Thon, Koh Samui and from there you can get a Sawngthaew (mini bus style taxi) to Hat Chewang. Chewang is the most popular beach in Samui. Me and Matt had been there before so were both looking forward to returning and seeing how the place had changed.
Chewang is a nice place, there are lots of shops, restaurants and relaxing beach bars to keep you busy. Our first night we chilled on the beach once again. We had been away from the beach for a few days so it was nice to get back on one with a cool beverage....Pina Colada for sam :)

We had ourselves a bit of a luxury room, t.v, wifi, 1 minute from the beach and a swimming pool, not bad at 4 quid each.
The rest of our time in Samui was filled with days at the pool, Cheap Thai food and a bit of bartering. Matt kept himself busy by having another tattoo on his other leg. No sun, sea and sand for him for a week! All worth it of course!!
Our last evening in Samui was the funnest. We visited Koh Samui's Bar Ice. A bar which is -7 degrees, everything is made of ice. As its so cold you cant have glasses and bottles, so even your drink is given to you in an ice cone! In the bar they also have ice elephant sculptures, tables and a tuk tuk. pretty clever. Wearing flip flops wasn't the best idea.
All together it was a relaxing week in Koh Samui, sometimes its hard, never having to do anything or be anywhere.
Still a feeling were getting used to after 5 weeks.
