Ko Samet is the most beautiful island I've ever been to. It's a rather small island with beautiful beaches and clear blue water. On the island of Samet the main occupation is to relax. But of course there are other things to do as well. Something that I've done twice (-03 and -05) is to go on a boat trip around the island. You get to go fishing, snorkeling and visit a shark farm. The shark farm was absolutely amazing! The've got baby sharks, turtles and pirayas. Ko Samet is a national park ...

During my 3 weeks in Thailand I also visited Ko Samet, which is also a very beautiful place.

  9/18   I was trying to think of what has happened since I last wrote, and then I was like duh, the shipmates arrived!  We spent the morning they arrived getting the boat ready, really just doing some light cleaning here and there because she was already in pretty good shape.  They all (minus two who were flying in later) arrived around 1 oclock on the ferry with Jim and were shuttled by dinghy to the boat.  Chantale and I had gone ashore earlier and gotten our bi...

Time to leave the cities behind and off to the small island of Ko Samet.  Neither of knew much about the place but it was advertised by the minibus companies so I thought why not.  In the morning we were picked up by a Toyota minivan and after a few stops we headed towards a small village that I never knew the name of and ferry to Ko Samet.The ferry ride was very pleasant though it did to gol past the whole of Ko Samet before docking at  Na Dan.  When I say dock though tha...

and this day was simply great - exploring the different beaches, cooling down in the aircon room, walking around the island was amazing! the water is really warm and the sand is beautiful. during the night the beaches of ko samet change into one big chain of candle/lantern lit restaurants, bars & clubs and thais and westerners alike enjoy the vacation feeling not far from bangkok. there are beautiful ressorts and beachfront huts on the island that have direct speedboat acc...

my round the world trip...

Vanuit Chiang Mai zijn we weer teruggegaan met de nachtbus naar Bangkok. Daar aangekomen hebben we gelijk een ticket geboekt naar het eiland Ko Chang, vlakbij de grens van Cambodja. De eilanden in het zuiden van Thailand zijn erg regenachtig, dus vandaar naar het Oosten, waar de kans op zon het grootste is. We waren aardig verreist, maar toch vrij snel op Ko Chang een leuk hutje gevonden voor een leuke prijs vlakbij het strand. Nog even snel de zee ingegaan en toen van de avond genoten. De vo...

just some pics of my time away between '02 and '04

So, Ko Samet was a great place to while away the days. We spent 8 days there in total, and it was hard to leave! We rented a moped from our resort so that we could get around easier. I had never ridden anything except a bicycle before so was a bit apprehensive but we had no accidents, we are still in one piece, and the bike has no dents in it so I think I did pretty well. The majority of the roads on the island were not actually roads, more like dirt paths that have been worn in ...

I just spent a few days in Thailand in June, but loved every minute and can't wait to go back!

Thailand was great! Good food, great beaches, great night life.

We decided to go to a small island east of Bangkok called Ko Samet before flying to Hong Kong. After a slightly confusing time buying a ticket, we found ourselves on a bus to Ban Phe, to get a boat to the island. We were abit dissappointed when we arrived to find that we had to wait for 20 people before the boat would leave, and we were 2 of 4 people waiting. However it was late in the day and I think they took pity on us because we left after about ½ hour of waiting. The cros...

i went to Sa-med,a gorgeous island at gulf of thailand,with some of my friends(lots of my friends actually,we were together in like more than 20).It's my second time here and i'm still in love with Samed like always.We had LOADS of fun.My friends made me laugh all day(and night).I didn't take many photo,though,coz we paid most of our attention on drinks and parties only.Anyway,some of us went diving but some didn't including me coz i've done it before the first time i came here.While som...

Not a lot happened today other than the sun finally came out, after I got fed-up of waiting for it to arrive and had booked a boat for the following day - bloody typical!It was a glorious sunny day that I spent lounging on the beach sunning myself and resting my poor, battered feet.I went to bed early since I had to get up at silly o'clock in the morning to catch a boat across to Banphe and then a minibus all the way back to Bangkok.
