We got up and checked out of Montien House, said goodbye to Chaweng Beach and took the resort taxi to our next hotel in Bophut Beach. We arrived at this very small hotel which only had four rooms, and after checking in we were taken up to our room. It was a nice room with an amazing view of the beach and Koh Phangnan in the distance. We headed upstairs to check out the rooftop garden, nothing special besides another great view, we were saddened to see there was no swimming pool. We went down the street to get some lunch and ended up at a pub not too far from the hotel. The food was pretty average so we left and continued down the street to find out how we can get to Koh Phangnan ... read more

Today we had to check-out, we packed up our stuff and reluctantly left Amari Resort, it had to be of the best places I’ve stayed at. We carried our backpacks down the main road to our next resort which was some way down the beach. This resort was much more in the centre of Chaweng Beach where the action is, where the last couple of nights we were staying at the end of the beach in a much quieter area. We arrived at Montien House and checked in, we booked a Beachfront room and that’s what we got. Our room was the closest to the pool and the pool was right on the beach, it was quite good. It was also the first time we’d have a chance to do some washing, we counted our clothes ... read more

We woke up early today, packed our stuff and waited for the resort taxi to take us to Phuket airport for our flight to Koh Samui. We checked in, got some breakfast and soon enough boarded our flight. It was a short flight and by 10:30AM we were waiting for our luggage to arrive in Koh Samui. We squeezed into a shuttle bus with lots of other people and they took us to Amari Resort. This place was our only five star resort on this holiday, we thought we’d spoil ourselves since we didn’t really enjoy the previous resort. Already this resort was looking amazing, the pool was incredible and the beach was only meters away from the resort pool. When we arrived our room wasn’t ready yet so we sat in the bar and had ... read more

Today we slept in as much as we could since we were so tired from yesterday but we still got up around 10AM. We packed up our stuff and checked out of the resort, today we were heading down the coast to a place called Karon Beach. We left Deevana Patong Resort and headed down the street to get a taxi. We had trouble finding one so we spoke to a tuk-tuk driver and convinced him to take us for 200B, maybe a little expensive but we were to hot to really care. He took us to a Ramada resort by mistake before finally dropping us at Pacific Club Resort, we gave him an extra 20B for his trouble. We checked in at our new resort, received our complimentary arrival cocktail and reception took us to ... read more

When we woke up today around 9:30AM and it was already so hot outside. We threw on our bathers and headed down into Patong Beach to have a look around. We didn’t get far out of the resort before we were yelled at by all the touts around. We just ignored them and headed on towards the beach. The beach was nice but not amazing, the water didn’t look very clean either and after putting our feet in could smell it afterwards. It was a long beach lined with hundreds of beach chairs and jet skis. You couldn’t walk very far without every tout coming up to you wanting you to ride their jet ski, or lie in their beach chair. We walked nearly the length of the beach and turned back onto the road to ... read more
