After leaving Koh Phi Phi we took a boat, a tuk-tuk, a coach, another coach, another boat and then another tuk-tuk to Chaweng Beach on the island of Koh Samui. The journey went smoothly except for another rummage within our back packs; my mobile phone was stolen! No problem really, just the violation thing! At Chaweng we really roughed it in a air-conditioned villa with a huge bed, big widescreen TV, fridge and lovely shower. We hardly did anything in Samui except sleep, drink and party with friends. The place is falling out of the backpacker highlights as package holidays are taking over. The picture below is of the beach area:
After a couple of nights in luxury we headed to the island of Koh Phangan for the world famous, Full Moon Party. We stayed at Easy Life Bungalows; to say they are basic would be an understatement, i think the correct term is spartan (I am not sure the spartans would have put up with it though). The bungalow was a wooden shack with a bed and shower, some people found lizards in their bathrooms as well as the complimentary spider. In the end we grew to love the place, which was helped by the proximity to a resort that was empty and a nice Lao guy called Ham who let us use the pool.
After a hangover day we left for Koh Samui and the international airport. The airport was very plush and felt like a tropical resort; palm trees, exclusive shops and open space. Next destination was Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia.
