Koh Samui

We had to say good bye to Emma and Chris as they were heading to Krabi (hope you enjoy the rest of your travels guys!!) But unfortunately for us Rich followed us to Koh Samui!!! (only joking mate!) It tipped down as we arrived so Rich, Emma and I stayed at a hotel recommended by Emma and Chris. It was pretty nice and had a pool!! We immediately went to Maccy Ds to fill up on Western food. We then looked round the shops for a bit and watched rubbish films as it tipped down. We ventured out again in the evening for a baked potato- can you believe we're missing them?!

The weather still wasn't great the next day so didn't do much again! Sat on the beach for an hour or 2 until it started raining.

The next day we went along with Richard to a beach in the south where he was going to go kite surfing! The weather and beach were nice and it was cool to watch everyone kite surf. Kris was going to have a go but the conditions were a but rough for a beginner.

That evening we had a good (and cheap finally) Massamum curry and Penang curry. Then (after a few beers!) it was off to the ladyboy show! It's just something that has to be done in Thailand!! It was actually really good, as it was so funny! Not sure if it was meant to be so funny though! They were dressed up like Madonna and Shirley Bassey trying to sing along but obviously didn't know the words!! We ended up having a bit of a wild one that night and got back in at 5.30am. It was so funny watching all the Thai girls flirt with the western men (of any age!!)

We decided to stay an extra day as the weather was meant to be nice we didn't want to waste a nice day travelling (the forecast said it would get bad the day after). We saw a flyer for golf football and thought we'd give it a go! We turned up and was not that impressed. We played anyway and actually really enjoyed it. The course was laid out really well and it places it was difficult. Emma managed to damage her toe on her second kick but I pointed out it was her left foot and she's not a lefty!! She still managed to find every ditch, pond and tree which caused some difficulty (and not much competition! - just kidding). I made the leader board as the best Welsh person but it was nowhere near the course record!! (or the English one- thanks Emma!!)

We went down to the beach for the rest of the afternoon and it looked really nice in better weather!

Needing to get up at 5.30 for our trip to the mainland we said our goodbyes too Rich who was heading to Bangkok and then home (keep in touch) and got ourselves an early night.
