Chaweng Beach
It may not look too sunny, but trust me it's hot hot hot!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeelll hello peeps!!
Really don't know where to start with this one! Sorry been so slack updating this...not as easy to get to internet cafe here, and well to be honest, I've just been too busy sunbathing, drinking and sleeping to walk to one (but not to say I haven't been thinking of ya all!!).
Anyway, to fill ya in...after my last entry Nik started with the panic attacks, I got bit cranky, and well Sar stayed as mental as ever...but all realised that we HAD to get out of Bangkok! Amazing experience, but the heat, smog and smell was just too much (especially with a raging hangover!). So within in seconds we'd decided time to move on- we logged off the net, packed our bags and got straight into a taxi to the airport! You impressed girls...yes, it really took us 45 mins to make the decision, pack it, book it and f**k off! Even Sar managed it without any stress!!!
Got a flight straight to Ko Samui...was gonna do over night train as cheaper, but hey, not gonna kid ourselves...may be backpackers now but still enjoying the luxury of TV's and a meal on the
way!! Arrived at Chaweng Beach which supposed to be where it all happens, and oh my god...I really can understand why they call this modern paradise! Sounds cheesy, but have to see it to understand how gorgeous this island is! And apparantly it only gets better!
We found some accommodation...a tree hut on stilts! Ha!! It's mental!! Just a wooden hut, but still got hot shower, AC and satellite TV! Love it!!! And so that was home for next 5 nights!
Chaweng Beach is ace! Fell in love with a bar called Ark Bar! It's a bar on the beach which plays wicked tunes, and you sit on beds with tables on them! It's great as can chill out, have some food, and even have a quick nap as Nikki did many a time! But then when the vodka/redbulls kick in, ya up dancing on the beach! Amazing!!! And there;s always fireworks going off, and fire-dancers!! Fireworks are scary sometimes though...you set them off yourself and there was a few times when they fell over when lite and shot right at ya! Dangerous as hell, specially when the guy selling them is walking around with a cig in
one hand and a firework in another!
Anyway, less babble and to the interesting stuff hey! We have met soooo many people here!! And you girls would love it...there are hardly any girls on this islands...mainly guys so imagine the attention we've had! Woohoo!!! (And we never did pay our food bill once all the time we were there! hehe! Backpacking on a budget hey!). Met some wicked Aussie guys on the first night called Zach, Adam, and Ali!!! Pretty much the same type of people as us...liked to party all through the night and sleep during the day! So kinda kept bumping into them as each night!
But met loadsa other cool people too...it's so friendly here...you can be sat at ya bed/ slash table chilling and drinking, and next thing ya know you can sense someone sat near you ready to chat! Which prob sounds sleazy but it's really not! Everyone's here to make new friends, find out where ya been and share their experiences and stories and all! Hardly any English, but a fair few Irish (too many for my liking! Met a few Irish guys and they ended up stalking us! Geeks!), loadsa Aussies
and a fair few Dutch! And Sar even managed to find Isreal guy (sure she'll share the story with ya, but put it this way, doubt she will be taking him home to met her Dad!). And last night met a really nice Thai girl called Bee! She was sooo funny! Almost as mad as Sar! She is on the island with her bro for holiday, so came out dancing with us! Great night!We're gonna be meeting up with her again for the Full Moon party so that will be cool...
After the Ark bar we tended to go onto the only club on the island - ze Green Mango!! It was so good!! Only down side was the lack of aircon (hence my fringe going mental on all the night pics! So thats why I look like a ming-mong on them!)...and when that closed at 3am, move onto the afterparty bar called Sound!! Which are great! Play bit of funky house or RnB (which keeps Nik happy!)...
But anyway, not much more to tell really! Just been partying hard here (felt bit like a Greece hoilday, but not the same without the rest of you girls...). We're
Ark Bar
You eat, you drink, you sleep, you dance... leaving Chaweng today as worn ourselves out...gonna go to another part of the island and chill for a few days! Refresh ready for the Full Moon / Coombs party!!!
Missing ya all loads!!!
Keep the comments coming...lovely to hear from ya all!
