15. 3. Koh Samui

Today we went on a hunt for Koh Samui Snorkeling spots! We first headed north to Thong son beach, where we stopped for some breakfast first. As we walked in we noticed two giant pigs on the floor! They were enormously fat. We gave the pig a stroke and had some food on the beachfront, we met a nice chap from New Zealand who had been 'kicked'*out of his home by his son who is renting it and he uses the money to permantly travel. Cool life huh!? We had abit of a snorkel and was no good so headed to the east which is abit more sheltered. Unfortunately the next beach called Choengmon Beach was beautiful but the tide was too low to snorkle. We did stop at a really hip bar and stayed there and had a coffee, we didn't realise how posh it was till we walked inside! So we ended staying here for a while.
Eventually we headed back to the crystal cove beach we went to yesterday. The snorkeling was great and we explored different sections we didn't look at yesterday and weren't disappointed. We spent about 2 hours floating around. My family have brought me a snorkle to use for my birthday - which is great!
We headed back after sunset and stopped at a reggae bar for a quick drink, the whole bar was awesome with cool features such as a waterfall, it was really nicely set up! We had the whole bar to ourselves and enjoyed a pint and suddenly had a lady and man, who both really couldn't sing, on a soundsytem not dialled, were screaming reggae tunes to us and terribly. We quickly finished our beers and left.
We headed for another Thai curry, we absolutely love the food here, the street food, restaurants are amazing. Truly a reason in itself to come back and neither me or Grace have had food poisoning (touch wood) yet. We headed back to our hotel and had a beer by the pool. We headed to our room to pack so we can have abit of a lie in tomorrow before heading to Koh Phangan.Leia mais
