I have a 'ribbon' on my back now ;) hehehe Was hungry so went to buffet breakfast. It was 195 and they had many different types of food. Bread, Cereal, Fried ric…

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 boa…

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…

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, b…

Nothing too exciting for the next couple of days.  Unless you call relaxing on the beach, drinking beer and taking the occasional swim in the ocean.  We rarely went farther then 1/2 km from the hotel.  I think Voon is half fish as she spent most of her time in the water.  Fortun…

  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.&nbs…

One day in Bangkok is more than enough to arrange things and buy some presents for the guys back home. In Kao San it's hard though to bargain things down to rockbottom. You'd better check out the surrounding streets if you are craving for a Diesel jeans (around 400 B.) or a cool t-shirt (100-150 B.…

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…

I really had awesome times traveling with Bennie (Bmatital) and Ying (aznfunghi). We've been to Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore and Malaysia. There we've met new friends!! I like to share my pics and clips with you how much fun we had and so many beautiful places we visited.

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

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 …
