Here I am, lazing around in the ocean (with my sandals on of course! need them for bouyancy!), with the sun, sand, and surf in my face. Beautiful plam trees, nice 30 C weather and all the stupid tourists you can imagine. But still, i'd rather be here, wouldn't you?
I actually didn't spend my first night here, this is Chewang Beach. I was in Lamai Beach (hooker town) because my friends were coming in the next day and i need a cheapie place to stay. So what better place to stay than hooker town? Either way, i didn't really enjoy hooker town much. Got there at night and left the next morning so didn't really see much. Just a lot of bars, bar girls, stripper poles and sex tourists.
Either way, next day, took off for Chewang Beach (still Koh Samui) and met up with everybody.
Lunch/dinner? My British buds from Saigon
These guys just party too hard. The drinking started about 3 pm (i didn't start till 4ish, trying to take it easy you see) and went pretty much throughout the rest of the day and night. I have no idea how they do it. I have no idea how any of these people i party with can do it. They can drink all day and night and still wake up the next morning to go another round. It must be some kinda european thing. Or, actually it seems more like a Vancouver thing. The night ends at 2 at home. Here, and in europe, the night doesn't end until breakfast is no longer served at McDicks.
With the recent night in Bangkok still fresh in my mind, i stopped drinking quite early. Which is definitely a good thing. I got to the be photographer for the rest of the evening and got some great shots.
Sunset from our resteraunt
Beautiful night sky in Koh Samui
Love the camera! Work it....Dragons pose!
Uh, maybe a little too much for Trev?
Actually i guess it was a little too much for all of them as they ended up rolling around in the surf as we were walking back home. I guess it was kinda my fault (i admit it). I was the one that suggested jumping in. Hahaha. There were already some people in there and i was like hey, lets jump in! Now the new argument is who went in first? I'm quite sure it was Lauren. Haha, but sorry no photographic evidence.
The night was a total load of laughs. Sometimes you just have to sit down with a bunch of of UKers and listen to what their saying. They're still talking too fast for me, but its getting much better. And their type of humor is starting to make sense in a British sort of way.
The long walk back home was total chaos as no one knew where we were going, everyone was yelling and screaming, glasses and phones went missing (alex's and trev's), and of course me, trying my best to document every single funny thing that i could. I'm sure the stuff happening in the water would have been so much funnier if i was able to go in deeper too but i really didn't feel like getting my pants wet. So walking along the beach i end up kicking the stupidest thing ever. An anchor. In the middle of the beach! What the hell is an anchor doing in the middle of the beach? Who knows. Whatever, my foot is fine anyways.
Next day my Welch friend and i decide to go see what the rest of the island was all about. Ko Samui is not a very big island (big for here, but not reallt that big), but there are some nice peaks which we scaled for fun. One of them had a nice resteraunt where we stopped off for a drink. The views from there were beautiful.
Look! Natural palm trees! Its so cool to see a forest of palm trees. Not those artifically planted ones like you see back home.
Wish you were all here!
Deep in though
What a wicked resteraunt
