Moped hire is very popular in Koh Samui but i am always a bit weary about hiring vehicles in her was no exception, especially as many seemed to want to keep you passport as a retainer. Luckily for us our hotel had moped rental so we decided to hire it from our hotel/resort (Centara Villas), …
Lamai is basically a much smaller version of chaweng with a strip of shops and a stretch of beach running parallel to it. We got there early in the morning and it was quite quiet and stayed like that most of the day. It did get a bit busier at about 4/5pm when the night …
Football golf is quite good fun in Koh Samui. Provides a bit of a change to water sports and no need to carry loads of clubs around with you like real golf.
Journey from samui airport was about an hour which may be a bit far for some people as it is probably about a 45min drive from here to chaweng beach which is the biggest and liveliest place in samui and about 20 minutes from lamai. At first we thought we had made a mistake …
Arrived in koh samui thinking the airport would be a very small shack. I was pleasantly surprised as it was infact many shacks:). No only joking the airport is made up of quite substantial and well made wooden buildings. Don’t get me wrong it’s still very small but seamed really nice, good quality and perfectly …

Catching the sky train in bangkok is the easiest thing to do. There is only 3 lines across the whole city. One gets you from airport to Siam(E1,E2…), the other gets you from Siam north to bus station(N1,N2…) just passed the abloom apartments. Then the 3rd seems to go to the south west area(S1,S2…) below …
Today was our first full day in Bangkok! We actually booked a tour at the airport which was a tour around bangkok for a vey cheap price. It didnt included entrance into everywhere but for the money I don’t think we could have done it any cheaper on our own. You soon realise this is …
Flight was good and didn’t seem to drag too much apart from the 1 hour delay at the start. Then again that was nothing compared to the few hours i spent watching the film Prometheus zzzzzzz. Very strange film, it’s almost like someone had a concept for a film, where it turns out that life …
