Koh Samui

Recently endeavored on another succession of Thai transport delights. Koh Lanta to Krabi in a minivan (including two ferries), then on to Surat Thani by public bus. Think bright pink tassles and the loudest Thai karaoke you've ever heard. Most of the locals were senior citizens and no one seemed interested in the extremely intense bass, this combined with the air-con set to 'Antarctica' made us glad to reach Surat.

Stayed in a basic (generous description) hotel without air-con. Went for dinner at a local market where we ate amazing mussel omelette's, and little coconut pudding things. Beautiful.

Koh Samui seems like a really nice place, we have a cute little bungalow on the beach. Went for a stroll last night and bought a paper air balloon off a local dude trying to sell us drugs (600baht for two E's if you're interested). It's all about scooters and exploration today.
