Koh Samui, Thailand

So Koh Samui was meant to be a rendezvous point to meet Allan who was flying from England. I expected an island kind of like Koh Rong Samloem or Koh Ta Kiev, maybe a bit naive but I hadn't had any other experiences with islands. What I found instead was a strip that could have been anywhere in Bangkok minus the beach and the lack of cheap street food.

The second night of our time there I was lying in bed, very peaceful, half asleep, watching something on Netflix and a lump jumps on me. I turn around expecting Josh (wouldn't be the first time) and its Alex, one of my best mates from home, and his girlfriend! I couldn't believe it! I was a shell shocked, could only manage a high pitched "WTF" at a frequency that only dogs could hear. Well needless to say me, Jack, Alex and Sofia all went out for the evening which started at 11.30pm and didn't finish until 7.30am including buckets, me getting hustled by a 10 year old girl at a thumb war, sneaking into a hotel jacuzzi, Alex splitting his lip, going back to their airbnb halfway around the island, getting in another pool, finishing a bottle of whisky and finally sleep.

The day after Allan arrives....dear lord. We pick Allan up from the airport and all head back to the airbnb which were staying at, there's 8 of us packed into this little apartment and the drinks inevitably start flowing again with games, Reek's (tucking willies behind legs) and being thrown about the pool which ended up in a naked shower I'm glad not to have been a part of as it consisted of just Allan and Alex. Finally sleep again, not before a drunken pillow fight, to head to Koh Pha Ngan in preparation for the full moon party.Read more
