Been There : Koh Samed, Thailand

A month has passed since Nan and my 4 M's (Massage, Makan, Melepak, Membuta) holiday, and today while my laziness not at level HIGH - I blog.

We started our journey by van from Victory Monument in Bangkok. We have to wait until the van full before we can leave. Cannot remember how much it cost. Could be around 200 to 300 Baht maybe.


The journey took 2.5 hours from Bangkok to the jetty in Rayong. The van was really full and we sat all the way to the back. Not comfortable. Next time either take the bus or drive.

We were dropped directly at the Sribanphe Pier to catch our boat to Koh Samed.


We paid the 50 Baht per person ticket and waited for the boat.


And it started raining.

The island can be seen from the jetty. Not far, but the boat was slow. Got to pay more (2000 Baht) to get there faster by speed boat.


After 1 hour in the slow pink boat (really - it was painted pink and lavender), we arrived at Koh Samed's jetty. I like this jetty, more activities and colourful boats.

If you look carefully, you can see the porn-star ;)

From the jetty, we took a pick-up across the island to Ao Phrao beach where our hotel was located.


We stayed in Lima Coco Resort which have yellow steps to the rooms and ...

We spent our days here eating,

walking around the beach and relaxing,


and Mafia Warring (Nan was Farming most of the time). We did massage as well, but was not that great. I swam a lot, but Nan have something against swimming - could be water was the factor.

The weather was cooling with rain now and then which was pretty exciting for me. I love rain.

Stormy Day

There was a fire show at night as well.

It was a relaxing holiday and I don't mind doing it again and again and again and .....
