Farewell South Thailand

We took an early ferry from Koh Tao back to Koh Samui ready for an early flight to Northern Thailand the following morning. We enjoyed a relaxed day exploring the island by scooter (albeit a little drizzly) visiting Old Town Koh Samui, Fishermans village and then stumbling across what is best described as a western shopping mall with shops, bars and restaurants. The shopping mall was by far the most modern infrastructure we've seen during our stay in Southern Thailand. Outside the mall, there was also a night market with a band playing on stage for what looked to be a Thai charity motorbike event.

We’re currently sat in the outdoor Koh Samui airport. It's really pretty but dead quiet and we've never gone through security (consisting of 2 small table stations) so quickly. At the gate, even free drinking water, juice and some little snacks were provided free of charge!

We’re really looking forward to Chiang Mai and seeing what Northern Thailand has to offer. Czytaj więcej
