Samui Trippin'

A brief breakdown of my trip to Koh Samui.

Day 1 - Koh Tao and Koh Nangyuan

We touched down at Koh Samui on Wednesday night and joined the snorkeling tour for the next day at Koh Tao and Nangyuan immediately.

Making our way to the ferry bound for Koh Nangyuan

I know she's been wanting to see that famous sand strip that joins two mountains together. Haha. And we finally did. We were commenting on how it looks exactly like how it does in the Internet, so luckily it wasn't a wasted trip.

Snorkeling was quite a traumatizing experience for me because I don’t know how to swim. Urgh. Thank god for lifejackets.

We then had lunch at Nangyuan and did a bit of shallow water snorkeling, sunbathing and then made our way up to the viewpoint. It was well worth the climb up that mountain. Phew!

Back to Samui

Here’s a peek at the first place we stayed at:

Day 2 - Lamai Town and Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks

Heading towards Lamai Beach

Got myself a fake tattoo there as well:

I can't stop taking pictures of cats. Hmm.

After chilling out at Lamai Beach, we headed towards the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks:

The Grandfather Rock...



...and the Grandmother Rock


Hahahaha.

Walking back to Lamai

Still walking....

Are we there yet?


Dinner time

Day 3 - Driving around Samui on her birthday

Poor girl has been sick throughout the trip and especially so on her birthday when we had planned to kayak at Angthong. So we spent half the day catching up on lost sleep and decided to rent a jeep to go round the island instead.

Ok, I think it says Namuang Waterfall

After making our way through the stones, forest and whatnot, we headed towards the west side of the island to catch the sunset:

In celebration of my Bunny's birthday, we chanced upon a seafood restaurant called The Happy Elephant in the Fisherman's Village at Bophut:

I must say we were quite lucky to have chanced upon this restaurant, and after that, we bought a slice of blackforest cake in the shopping mall at Samui to celebrate the yearly ritual of making wishes on your birthday. She made three. Haha. Happy birthday again, my love.

Day 4 - Day Trip to Angthong

Joined another trip to the National Marine Park to visit the Emerald Lagoon, Angthong and did some snorkeling....again.

1+ hour on a speedboat

Treading really carefully this time...

We then hopped from Mae Koh to Angthong:

We returned to Samui and moved our stuff to another resort near the beach where we stayed at for the last night:

Chillin'

Slept like pigs and woke up at 9+ to shop at Chaweng. Managed to brush up on my bargaining skills too. Haha.


Day 5 - Chillin' at Chaweng Beach

Some last minute shopping...


Waiting for our ride to the plane

Goodbye Samui.....

I have only uploaded just a bit of the 500 over pics we took and the rest of the pictures were simply breathtaking.

A very unforgettable and wonderful trip. Hope to go back there again sometime. Hmm.
