Phew. What a week its been. I got to Koh Samui about 10 days ago and Ive managed to fit in alot - as well as overdoing it on the socialising too. Samui was pretty boring and I certaintly wont bother going back there again - Overpriced, too many swanky resorts and nothing to do within my budget. So I checked out the beaches and moved swiftly on..
Next stop was Ko Phangan and it was alot of fun. Saw Thai boxing, went to the 'half moon' party and met lots of other travellers to hang out with. Also went fishing but my angling skills eluded me. Yet again. At the party I caught up with a pair of girls from Glasgow who I met in Krabi, it was a massive rave with possibly 2000 revellers in attendance. The island was so much more backpacker friendly and it was tempting to stay longer.
Next on the list was Ko Tao which has been great too. I went for a full days snorkelling around the island yesterday and saw some spetacular coral reefs and some rather exotic looking fish too. After that I went out with some folks in my dorm and overdid the Chang somewhat. Its a really nice laid back vibe here thats less frenetic than the neighbouring Phangan. Ive got a night ferry back to the mainland tonight before a marathon bus ride to Penang (Malaysia) tomorrow.
Early nights from now on.
