Well the Jennisons are on our way to Khao Lak and today travelled from Brisbane to Bangkok via Thai Airlines. The flight was actually fantastic! After traveling with Air Asia last year we now understand the benefits of paying more for a full service flight... Especially with kids. All three boys were entertained with the inflight systems so Scott and I managed to watch movies ourselves. How fantastic is that! The 9 hour flight was over so fast. This was probably helped by the fact that there were a lot of spare seats, so we could all spread out stretch our legs easily when needed. This trip we are lucky to have my Mum and Dad with us!! The boys thought it was a novelty having them on the plane and I noticed every time poor ... read more

Today we had a slower start, thank goodness, and enjoyed a lazy breakfast in the villa gardens which was great. They have this amazing home cooked cinnamon french toast with grilled banana .. it is to die for! It has also been my standard order since arrival! Dylan and Scott have enjoyed the Pancakes ... which are also fantastic, but I have converted Dylan to the french toast after he tried mine yesterday! Anyway, we told our taxi man (same one from Saturday) that we wanted him again today ... but planeed to call him when we were ready to be picked up. BUT when we had finished breakfast he was here waiting for us already! KEEN! So we quickly got organised and left soon after ... headed for the famous Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep (translation ... read more

Hi Again ... well it has been an adventure filled 24 hours. It is hard to beliive we have only been here a day ... let me share with you what we have been up to. Leaving Koh Samui was hard ... we felt like "locals" at the Infinity Resort towards the end of our stay as we seemed to outstay everyone else. Most people we met there were only staying for 5 nights ... so our 8 nights made us part of the furniture :) We enjoyed our transfer in air conditioning from the hotel before enduring a very hot wait lining up to check our luggage through at Koh Samui airport. You see ... it is an "open air" airport ... the first of this type I have been to! Thankfully we were travelling ... read more

Hi All ... its us again :) I think we have adjusted to local time as we all slept in today and finally we had others at breakfast with us!!! Most days so far we have been the first to arrive at breakfast ... which of course has its advantages when Scott and I can get our coffee made as soon as we order and enjoy the service of 5-6 staff for our family of 5!!! Thailand is 3 hours behind Brisbane so we have moved into local time. Also, the mornings are so slow for everything over here and nothing really gets going until after lunch time ... so I'm glad we have adjusted a little. We have been caught out arriving too early for things a couple of times so far! This morning it ... read more

Sadly we have now had 4 sleeps at this amazing place in Koh Samui ... which means there are only another 4 left before we continue on our Thailand adventure. Since my last post we have been doing lots of relaxing ... let me share a bit of that with you now ... On Saturday afternoon we headed down to the north coast of Koh Samui to Mae Nam beach again ... we have found this to be our favourtie area so far on this trip. We had read about a little local bar that was worth a visit so we set out to find it. Thankfully with our car we can take lots of wrong turns and eventually find our way. The boys just don't understand why we keep getting lost! It is funny how ... read more
