Hehhh happy songkran?? That’s the Thai new year and I was in Koh Samui to celebrate it. It sure was lots of fun. The street celebration was very lively. Everyone was joining in the celebration, spraying others with water. Everybody was wet. Muahahha
Was there for the weekends and just came back a while ago
A very gd trip I must say. Definately a gd time off from my work. Been kinda busy lately. Hehh… Flew to Samui on thurs night and took a cab from the airport to our hotel. Palm was there as soon as I got off the cab, to show me my room
I’ve missed her so…. Its been a long time. Tong dropped by a while ago and we started chatting.
Following day, Friday the 13th, we travelled to the city. Boy was it lively. I can’t describe it enough. Almost everyone had a water gun, shooting at others. Everyone was wet. Nobody was spared
getting wet is a gd thing if the weather was hot but unfortunately it kept raining on and off and it got pretty cold. Didn’t help that some of them had ice cold water in their gun. Brrrrr……….. Hehh… Should have seen the look on Mariz’s face
Finally settled down at a nice restaurant for dinner after a few hrs, and by the time we got back, it was already late
Sat, we went island hopping. Not even sure which island we went to but it sure is a mouthful to pronouce. Went on some nature trails to see this really beautiful lake
Than it was off to another island for more nature walks? Hehhh no thx… Palm, Tong, Jui and Peh went for it but Mariz and I, we just choose to take a nap under a nice coconut tree, just enjoying the breeze… Lovely
Reached back at bout 6 and met up at 7 for dinner but unfortunately, the seafood restaurant we wanted to go to was full so we just ate at this other restaurant. Decent food at least
Sun was spent snorkling
My 2nd time. We went to another island and it was beautiful. Snorkled for an hr before making our way to yet another island for lunch. Went for a dip at the sea after that to cool off. It was really a hot day
Dinner that night was fantastic. It was to be Mariz and my treat to the rest of the group for being such accomodating host
Meal was fantastic. Ordered 8 dishes including Lobster!!! and the bill came up to 3500 baht
Kinda cheap huh. Fantastic seafood dinner for 6 at only SG$155 bucks
Imagine my shock though to realise that the lobster was almost half the cost of the entire meal. SG$72 bucks. Zzzzz.. I never knew lobster could be that exp
The day ended with a traditional Thai massage. Hehhh boy was it pain. Mariz sure looked like it was nothing. I was grimacing a lot. The torture… hehh… It felt gd after that though
Mon came and it was time to go home
Palm and gang took a bus back ot the bus terminal for their coach back to Bangkok. Since it was still early, Mariz and I went to the beach for a walk and to find a place to sit down to drink some coconut juice
Soon, it was time to go. Bid farewell to Samui, took a cab to the airport and much later, we’re on the plane back to Singapore
I’m gonna miss that place. It has been a very very fun trip. Thx to Palm and Tong for planning this.. And thx to HP, without which, I would not have the means to travel. Bloody ticket to samui cost $470 return, for a 1hr 40 min flight… !#%#$%&(
