Fortsatt flott på Koh Samet. Da har vi tilbrakt noen ekstra dager på denne flotte øya - Koh Samet. Opplevd masse sol, men også kraftig troperegn. Vi har i flere kvelder sett på noen kraftige lys på havet, og etter å ha fått vite at dette var fiskebåter som med sine lys fikk frem fisken bestemte vi oss for at dette måtte prøves. Vi kjøpte oss med på en slik tur som varte fra kl. 18 - 24, og måtte betale den store sum av ca kr. 90 pr pers. Dette inkluderte både fikseturen, mat og drikke ombord, samt en uforglemmelig [View Full Entry]

Koh Samet - en idyllisk perle. Etter en behagelig firetimers tur i minibuss og en halvtimes båttur var vi borte fra Bangkoks storbyliv og ankommet nydelige Koh Samet. Billetene kjøpte vi på et lokalt reisebyrå, og hele reisen kostet ca 120 pr pers. Vi vasset i land med sekkene på ryggen og ble møtt av nasjonalpark politiet som avkrevde 40kr i parkavgift. Deretter bar det bortover kritthvit sand til Malibu Gardern Resort. Her ble vi innlosjert i en koselig liten bungalow, og vi fant oss fort til rette. Vi vrengte av oss klærne og stupte ut i sjøen, varmt og deilig [View Full Entry]

After spending the night on Khao San Road we got up and went down the street to get breakfast. Then we were to set off for Ko Samet (Samet Island!!) We knew to get to Koh Samet we needed to take a bus from the Eastern bus terminal (Ekkamai) and that the easiest way to get to the bus station was via the skytrain. So, our next mission was to get from Khao San Road to the skytrain. Since we had been ripped off by the taxi driver the previous day, we thought it might be cheaper to get Mr. K [View Full Entry]

We took a bus South of Bangkok to catch a boat to the Island of Ko Samet. We found a wooden hut next to the beach where we could see the sea. On the first evening we went for some food at a place called Jeps on the beach under some trees which was amazing! I've never eaten something so hot that my eyes as well as my nose were streaming, but it tasted so amazing that I kept going until it was all gone! I think I was also dribbling a bit. After going to a bar and playing some [View Full Entry]

I've done some traveling since my last update. Where? Mostly to destinations within Thailand such as Phetchabun (northern Thailand), Khao Yai and Hua Hin; but, I've also taken a trip to the U.S. to see family & friends. However, there's really too much to cover. So, let's keep it simple... and share about my most recent trip to Ko Samet, an island in the Gulf of Thailand. Due to its proximity to Bangkok, it's a popular destination for those in Bangkok seeking nice beaches with limited time. Although it's fairly close, it's not THAT close. Through public transportation, the trip took [View Full Entry]

Another read for you peeps! So we were back in Bangkok and done the rest of our sightseeing. The whole reason we came back to Bangkok was because we had to apply for our Vietnamese visas and they take roughly 5 days to process. Now anyone that knows me, knows i liuke to get the best deal i possibly can on anything, but on these visas i proper had my pants pulled down over the price! I this annoyed me for days and days! We paid 2250bht each to have them processed from the National government office, whowever we later found [View Full Entry]

Hello, Back in Bangkok now for our last night in Thailand before flying off to oz tommorrow. Our last week in Thailand has been spent on Koh Samet, one of the island's about 50 mins off the coast. Really beatiful place, spent most of the time chilling out on the beach and going out at night. It's not been without incident tho, mainly the moped crash... we hired moped's to explore the island on thursday which was really good fun, altho they really should give you some sort of lesson before letting you hire them. We went all the way to [View Full Entry]

Saturday, March 7 So after a bustling week in Thailand me and my friend Dan (New Jersey) headed for the beach. My friend Tisha's aunt owns a place on one of the beaches on the island but we couldn't get a room for our first night there so we had to just hope that we would get a place. Our bus would leave at 8:30 so we had to get up at around 7:00. Apparently my friend had too many drinks from the night before so he was a little sick and hard to wake up so we were running a [View Full Entry]

Spent a few nights in Ko Samet. We arrived in the afternoon on friday with no reservations and had a bit of a time trying to find a "bungalow". Ended up finding one at the Lost Resort up the hill, but a very short walk. The room was a room, nothing special but at least it had air conditioning and a friendly gecko! We moved on the last day down to Jeps bungalows which was much more popular with the tourists and a little closer to the action. There were many local Thai's taking a weekend trip, as Ko Samet is [View Full Entry]
