    Koh Samui Day 3

    1. marts 2019, Thailand ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    After trying the delicious breakfast buffet at my hotel, I got on a free shuttle to Chaweng Beach which is probably the most touristy area of Samui.

    I first visited a large shopping mall which was interesting to see - even though I didn’t buy anything. In the surrounding area it was similar to Ao Nang with a lot of restaurants, hotels, tour operators and tons of massage places!

    The street was a bit messy and stressful in general so I made my way to the actual beach which was crowded but really nice.

    For lunch I went to the local Hard Rock Café - of course! It has become a tradition now to always visit the local Hard Rock when I travel. I must have been to more than 20 around the world by now. The Samui one didn’t have much memorabilia though so I hope the Bangkok branch is better, which I will also visit soon!

    After some more browsing around Chaweng I got on the shuttle to return to my hotel, just in time for another sunset-viewing session from my villa.    Læs mere

    Koh Samui Day 2

    28. februar 2019, Thailand ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Long day on the seas! I got up quite early this morning to prepare for a day of yachting. My hotel was the first on the pick-up route, so I was already enroute before 7 am. After a long drive we arrived at the pier and set sail around 8.30.

    It was a beautiful big yacht that was designed so you could relax on the deck, lying down, while we sailed. And we sailed a lot! It was almost ten hours of sailing all together.

    During the day we stopped at two islands with lovely beaches, and at one of them there was a steep climb to a viewing platform with stellar views of the beach, and a lagoon on the other side. Quite a workout in that heat but definitely worth it.

    During the afternoon we also had a great lunch on the boat. And on the way back we saw the sunset of course! I think I will get my fair share of sunset action on this trip, not to mention sailing.. and sailing!

    The drive back to the hotel was looong, especially with traffic, but I eventually made it back and had a nice dinner.    Læs mere

    Krabi Day 6 + Koh Samui Day 1

    27. februar 2019, Thailand ⋅ 🌙 28 °C

    I spent this morning at my hotel in Krabi where I had to try the spa tub on my balcony - of course!

    After leaving the hotel around noon I got to the airport to catch my flight to the island of Samui. It only took about an hour to get there so it was a pretty short flight, but the airline was very nice and apparently voted the best in the world for domestic.

    At the cute Samui airport I was met by the driver from my hotel and we drove the hour-long trip to the other side of the island. My hotel, the 5-star Conrad, is very isolated and built on a hill or cliff. Each room (including mine!) is actually a villa with its own pool!

    Indeed, my villa is very luxurious and has the most amazing ocean view. After getting a drink at one of the bars I returned to my villa to watch the incredible and beautiful sunset. Just amazing!

    I ended the evening with a lovely dinner - outside of course - and a nice little walk back to my villa.    Læs mere

    Krabi Day 5

    26. februar 2019, Thailand ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    Another day, another boat tour! Today I had my last full-day boat tour in the Krabi region.

    Today’s trip was focused on the popular Phi Phi islands. The first one we visited was indeed a bit of a tourist trap. I think I counted over 30 boats all docked at the small beach. It’s a gorgeous beach though. Powdery, soft, white sand and beautiful water. It was fun to see this magical place in person.

    Speaking of which, we also saw the fabled Maya Bay beach which was used as the location of Leonardo DiCaprio’s search for a hidden paradise in the movie “The Beach”. Since the movie came out almost 20 years ago it has been a very popular tourist attraction. In fact, the tourist activity has left the place so environmentally ruined that it needs time to recover, and is thus closed indefinitely. As such we only saw it from a distance from the boat but it still looked pretty spectacular.

    As the other times, the tour company served a nice bbq lunch right on the beach. That’s the 4th day in a row I’ve had lunch in such an awesome setting. I could definitely get used to this! 😀

    We didn’t visit as many places today as yesterday, and didn’t do much exploring, but all of the islands and destinations I’ve seen on those three tours have been great.

    After returning to the hotel, I watched the sunset from my hotel’s infinity pool - with cheap cocktails of course.

    For dinner I decided to throw myself at the big buffet again. As it turns out there is a whole room just for desserts that I somehow entirely missed yesterday, so I had to return to the scene of the crime. Apparently it’s the biggest buffet in the area so it’s lucky that my hotel is hosting it!    Læs mere

    Krabi Day 4

    25. februar 2019, Thailand ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    Interesting day of exploring!

    Today I had booked another full-day boat tour around the region, this one with the ‘James Bond’ island as the main destination.

    We rode by speedboat this time so it was a bit faster getting around, and we actually visited three different provinces over the day. We made 5-6 stops at various small islands where the main aim was to relax and enjoy the scenery. One of the stops included a BBQ lunch on the beach with the most amazing view. Great food, too!

    Today we didn’t just relax though, but also explored a cave with a pretty unique setting - and lots of bats! Batman was probably hiding in there somewhere.

    We also swam to hidden beaches, and a lovely lagoon. There was even a short walk through a jungle type of area with a big-ass tree.

    Eventually we made our way to ‘James Bond’ island which was used as the location for the villain’s lair in The Man with the Golden Gun. We didn’t actually stop at the island but we got some nice photos from a distance.

    After returning to my hotel I tried out their big BBQ buffet which was great. Now it’s time to watch the Oscar’s!    Læs mere
