KO SAMUI

---

We all decided to head over to Ko Samui as we'd all heard really good things about the island. When we arrived, we found that the people were all amazingly friendly, and things were a little cheaper, but in general the feeling of being in absolute paradise was gone. After looking at some guide books, we'd decided that Hat Chaweng was a good option, but when we arrived there were more Westerners than Thai people! As Robbie and I were due to fly from Phuket a few days later for our visa run, Suzie and Justin decided to make the trip with us to Krabi in order to take in some of the islands from the Andaman coast.

The food on Samui was really good though, and before we left we went to a beach party, where the local kids were hustling tourists at Connect 4. They were extremely cute but definitely knew what the score was as they hustled for cash playing all the tourists!
