We decided to go to ko samui even though it is still the "rainy season" on the east side of thailand. Ko phi phi was pretty darn hot, so rain sounded kind of nice. Also we knew it would be less crowded than if we went during the dry season. When we first got to Ko Samui, I thought we were in for incessant rain. It was POURING. What made it worse is that we got there 3 hours later than the tour guide in phi phi said we would. Instead of getting there at 4 pm, while it was still [View Full Entry]

One can Travel to ko Samui by plane. If you have more time to waist and have a budget you can travel by bus and then by boat. Ko Samui means island Samui. So when you find places in Thailand with ko that means that are islands. This place is full of nature and you can do a lot of activities. You can go scuba diving, canoeing short trips to islands near, You have mainly 2 big beaches. The beaches are Lamai and Chaweng. Where to live?? Chaweng is the heart of the nightlife . It is a nice place too. [View Full Entry]

Am 2. November war Vollmond und es war Lichterfest in Thailand (Loi Krathong). Am Abend gab es dementsprechend viel zu sehen auf der Insel: Ueberall wurden kleine Schifflein aus Blumengestecken und Kerzen ins Meer gelassen, ballonartige Lampions wurden am Strand in den Himmel hinaufgeschickt und ueberall gab es was zu bestaunen, so z.B. eine Modenschau a la Thailand, Frauen Thaiboxen und an jeder Ecke gab es natuerlich was leckeres zu essen. Es war ein sehr eindruecklicher und schoener Abend. Die darauffolgenden Tage waren gepraegt von hohem Wellengang und grossen Wetterschwankungen. So hat [View Full Entry]

Sawadika! Trotz der angeblichen Regenzeit, die hier auf Koh Samui herrscht, verbringen wir super schoene Tage auf der Insel. Wir sind mittlerweile mit einem Motobike unterwegs und haben bereits die ganze Insel besichtigt, einen Traumstrand gefunden und unzaehlige schoene Momente erlebt. Nun aber der Reihe nach: Von den netten Franzosen in unserem Hotel haben wir erfahren, dass es ganz in der Naehe einen super schoenen Strand hat. Also haben wir uns aufs Bike gschwungen und sind dort hingeduest. An den Linksverkehr mussten wir uns logischerweise zuerst noch gewoehnen. Am Strand angkommen dan [View Full Entry]

Nachdem ich 2 Tage in Udon Thani verbracht habe (die Brutstätte der Prostitution, dementsprechend auch das Publikum), von einer Hundemeute angegriffen wurde und überlebt habe, verbrachte ich noch 2 Tage in Bangkok. Dort habe ich ein paar "alte Bekannte" getroffen und bereits zum 3. Mal nichts, aber auch gar nichts besichtigt. Es ist einfach zu heiss, zu gross, zu laut für mich, ich bin absolut unfähig mich in Bangkok zu irgend etwas zu motivieren. Nicht einmal shopping habe ich gemacht... Am 27. bin ich dann zum Flughafen gefahren und habe nach kurzer Suche mein Mami gefunden. Das Wiedersehen [View Full Entry]

Hey, Well what can we say...paradise. It only took us an hour to get here from Bangkok and arriving at the airport was quite an eye opener. The airport building was a series of wooden looking beach huts, with a different one for arrivals/departures etc. It was all really nice and so much easier to find our way around, ha ha! It was easy enough to get to the resort, we took a minibus from the airport which was good enough to take us directly to it. Luckily only a half hour drive from it as our bums left our seats [View Full Entry]

After 26 hours, 3 buses, 2 taxi’s, a mini bus, tuk tuk and ferry we final arrived at a beach. I won’t bore you with the details of all the traveling but I would like to share one part of our journey - Our bus to Surat Thani was an hour and a half late. As we jumped off the bus a tuk tuk driver explained we had to rush to get the last ferry of the day to Ko Samui, so we jumped in the tuk tuk with a Thai guy. The driver speed off like a mad man constantly [View Full Entry]

So we've been on the beautiful Island of Koh Samui for the last week. Paradise, with nothing to do but lie by the pool and stare out at the beautiful ocean. Then Terry joined us on the 25th and has brought the clouds with him. This has given us the excuse to hit town though and get us a couple of suits made. Oh, and maybe get a full body massage, facial, pedicure and foot massage. This travelling really takes it out of you. Love to all. E & S xx [View Full Entry]
