Koh Samui

Slept pretty good last night, with the help of Gravol. The bus is very comfortable too. The seats recline a lot and there's tons of leg room. Easily the best bus we've had yet.

The bus stopped at Surat Thani about 6:45MA at a restaurant, and kicked us all off. We ate breakfast and waited for another bus to take us to the ferry. Bus picked us up about 8:00, took us to the ferry, we got there about 9:40, and got on the gerry to Koh Samui, and it left about 10:00.

On the gerry, a gy approached us about taking us to Chaweng Beach by mini-bus for 60 baht each. We bought a ticket. The island is very big, Thailand's third largest island.

Cloudy and rainy all day.

Got a hut at Charlies Huts for 300 baht/night, on Chaweng Beach, the main beach on the island. Lots and lots of stuff on Chaweng beach, bars, restaurants, shops, etc.

We walked down the main road for a while, had lunch and Court bought a new bikini. Back to the hut and went swimming. Huge waves, some 5 to 6 feet! People were surfing. It was a blast.

We showered, went and had supper, walked along the main drag and scoped out the nightlife.

About 9:00, hit the bar curcuit (Green Mango bar, huge open-air bar), and we got home about 2:30. It was a blast, and super busy.

Locals had snakes and lizards there, you could get your picture taken with them.

AFter supper, I had this HUGE chocolate sundae ice cream at Swensen's, an ice cream parlour.
