Koh Samui and Koh Tao...

For the final part of my Thailand adventure I got the ferry over to Koh Samui. As I arrived at my hotel I was kindly welcomed into a pretty cool group of travellers, mainly British with some Swiss guys, some Norwegian girls, a couples of Ozzies and a Canadian thrown in for good measure! Our first night we went to a Thai barbeque which basically meant we had a small pot on our table which we had to cook the food on ourselves...the four of us at our end of the table went for the throw everything in and see what happens approach which seemed to work out quite nicely! After food we headed down to the beach for some buckets and towers of beer then off to a nightclub. The next day I was feeling pretty sorry for myself so spent most of the day in bed, I didn't miss much though as all that seemed to happen that day was a whole lot of rain! We then got a ferry over to Koh Tao, our first night here we went to see a ladyboy show which I absolutely loved! One of the campest things I have ever seen, I'm not sure how much the guys appreciated being dragged out the back and being dressed up however, but we found it funny! Our last day in Koh Taowe went snorkeling. The weather was pretty rubbish though and our first excursion into the water ending up with me having a little bit of a panic attack. The next stop, the weather now thankfully a bit better, I jump back into the water this time with a life jacket as to not freak out again! The water was so clear and you could see so many fish. The last stop on our snorkeling trip we went to a private beach, a few of us decided to venture up to the top of a small mountain on the island followed by a bit of sunbathing then back to the hotel. Our last night in Koh Tao and last night together as a group we had some food and headed out for some drinks, I had a great time with these guys and was sad to say goodbye at the pier the next day. I then headed back to Koh Samui for a few days then got the night train back to Bangkok. Leaving Thailand on Saturday and am quite looking forward to it.
