Ko Samui

We slept in Bangkok airport for a couple of hours before boarding our Bangkok Airways flight to Ko Samui. The flight was only forty five minutes and so seemed like a waste of time but it saved us a solid days traveling, plus we got a free snack!

Ko Samui has unfortunately become a popular spot for western tourists looking to take advantage of the readily available Thai prostitutes a lot of which are actually men... This was emphasised by our guest house's staff, all of which were ladyboys. Alex and I spent a lot of time watching Wimbledon, yes we know it's pathetic but we had to watch it, despite the best efforts of the prostitutes to distract us in the bars.

Soon enough we were treking along the beach to catch our boat to Ko Samui. I think we were both a little surprised that we were actually about to get to Ko Pha Ngan, home of the full moon party, something we had both been looking forward to from the start.
