Samui Buri
I have moved to tranquil Maenam Beach in Koh Samui. It is a long stretch of fine golden sand and sparkling waters. I am staying at Samui Buri Beach Resort which is a stunning traditional Thai ambience and tropical landscape located directly on the beach. I have a great room with a pool going past my room, I will post a picture of it for you to see.
Leaving Choeng Mon Beach
I have not posted in a few days as I have been in the sun reading, eating, drinking and listening to music. I have slipped into a routine here of doing absolutely nothing.
Sala
I went for an amazing dinner last night at a restaurant called Sala in Koh Samui on Choeng Mon beach. They describe it as not just a meal but a journey of flavours and culinary creations from around the world and it is definitely worth a visit or two.
Happy New Year
I have arrived in Koh Samui and the hotel is so much nicer than my previous two. I am so excited I can finally recharge my electric toothbrush and have a good night sleep in a big comfy bed.
Leaving Phuket
I have decided to leave Phuket as the area I am staying in does not have a beach and getting to a nice one invokes getting a taxi. There are a few good but very limited options to eat but I am leaving as I am just bored of being on my own and need some company, especially on New Year's Eve.
Nai Harn Beach
I finally found a nice tranquil beach in Phuket called Nai Harn beach. The hotel runs a shuttle bus three times a day to Nai Harn. I tried the first day to get on it but Russians appeared out of nowhere and within seconds it was full.
Karon Beach
I am in Phuket which is a lot busier than Koh Lanta and is full of tourists. The sound of Russian fills the airwaves and you can barely hear the sea over them. It is very busy and the rows of deck chairs along the entire stretch of the beach ruins the view, the umbrellas do not even match.
Koh Lanta Sunset
This is the famous sunset that I told you about and I managed to take a really good picture with my iPhone which was lucky as I did not have my Nixon with me.
Kantiang Bay
I have been in Kantiang Bay which is located towards the southern end of Koh Lanta for four days with mixed weather. It is a much quieter, more secluded beach than Klong Dao or Long Beach and boasts some of Koh Lanta's best soft golden sand which stretches for nearly 2 kilometres.
Bangkok Day1
I have landed in Thailand after a long journey from England. I managed to get myself an upgrade to business class to Dubai which was brilliant but it meant I had to sit in economy for the 2nd part which was hard after the luxury in business. Lamb rack for dinner, yes please :)
