My first trip with TB Dodge, TB Aiohdmg and TB Tazmania
January 28, 2009
Actually Dodge, Aioh and May had the first trip together in November something, I couldn't join them because of my mom or friends or what .. I dont' remember! :P They told me, we'll set up another trip for you soon and here we go. We decided to go to Samed Island. Easy to go during weekend because we (or me?) don't have much time to travel these days. They told me to choose the date because they said "you're always busy so pick the date you want". I told them "17-18 Jan." I'm free! Everyone agreed. Two weeks later I cancelled because I forgot that I had a bbq party at my friend's house and she already told her family that we (creative team) will go there. Well, again! I'm a fish or what? Why dont' I remember such a thing?!
So our trip postponed to 24-25 January. We called some places on Samed island but most of them are fully booked. The other places are expensive, they told us it's a holiday time. (26 January is Chinese New Year Day). Some places higher the price. We'd like to stay near Pai Beach where has the great place to party in the night. Dodge told me .. "or walk in?" ... I agreed. But we had to be there earlier than usual.
So we told Aioh and May to meet up at 6.30am at Victorai Monument. (This is the new route. There's the van station that takes you to Ta Pay Pier at Rayong only 200THB per person for 3hours or less)! Of course, it's better than going by bus at Akekamai Bus Station. Ok, the bus starts on time but if it's not full, it will stop everywhere to get the bus full. Sometimes it takes about 5 hours from bangkok to Rayong!! Too long!
On Saturday, we're at Victoria Monument not late than 7am. I was the first one :P Because my apartment is 10 minutes from there! Great! Dodge arrived, then Aioh and May. They had early breakfast at the station then bought the ticket and go. Good that there were the other people joined at the same time so we didn't waste much time to start the trip. I wanted to sleep in the van because I had only 4 hours sleeping last night but imagine, 4 women who waited for this trip for long time to GOSSIP haha .. so I didn't sleep. We talked until Rayong. Bought ticket, then jumped into the boat and here we were, Samed Island.
From the pier, took a cab to the beach you want. There is the fix rate to any beaches. We chose to go to Jep's beach. I've stayed there about 5 times, I think. (I've been to samed like 20th time or something, not sure). At Jep's the food is really good and the guesthouse is nice. Before it's full of mosquitoes but now .. I didn't had any bites :) We asked for a room, they got a free room wow 2000THB per room for 4 people, sure! We took it! That's cheap. (I called Jep's before, they said has only a room for 2 people left and it's 1700THB per night - we didn't take it - walked in was cheaper hah?!)
Got inside then changed to comfortable clothes (actually what I wore was really comfortable :D) .. Had lunch ... oh yummmmmm! Nothing to do much, we planned to come to gossip! So it's a gossip trip hahaha (some of you may know what we gossip about ;). .. Ok, and got some drink of course. We walked around the beach, gossip, took pictures, gossip, stayed under the tree at Ao Naun, gossip, swam in the sea, gossip, had dinner and gossip, what a great trip right???? :D:D:D
We had dinner at Tabtim Resort. It was famous about the food also but well, this time no. Maybe they changed the chef? Don't know. We had some drinks there, gossip, eating, gossip, chilling, gossip :)
I looked around and thought, when we phoned the guesthouses here they said "fully booked" but there weren't too many people!? Maybe they canceled? Last time in October I came here with my creative team, here was full of really thai cute gays - I've heard before this beach is for them! But now not many. There are a lot of foreigners, yes some gays and they are always cute! (Pity, they don't give us just a glance!) The beach was nice. Clear, clean, you can see yourself under the sea. The weather was great not too hot, not too cold. We had good food. We had good drink (Singha beer). And we've had good friends beside.
