John's Around the World Adventure 2005/2006
Thailand: Koh Samui Island
Traveling solo for the first time, I headed across Thailand and over to Koh Samui. The hotel here was very relaxing, especially until Tim arrived with the beers!
Samui was a favourite of mine due to it's good beaches, nightlife and plenty to see and do including the big Buddha temple and the many transvestite cabaret shows (certainly an experience!)
We also hired Jet Ski's here (cool eh!) and chilled on the beach on sun loungers watching the sunset with the comfort of some ice cold Singha beer.
