Friday we flew from Phuket to Koh Samui which is thailands 2nd largest island. Phuket being its first but its connected to the mainland with a bridge.. Koh Samui is way out in the gulf of thailand.. it had an open air airport, the luggage we picked up from under a grass hunt then walked straight in to the car park.

Koh Samui is as very nice but not as commercialised at Phuket but supprising just as many if not more tourists… probably because people are still concerned about Phukets redevelopment since the Tsunami.

We are staying in a small bungalow amist some green gardens less than 20m either to the beach of main road where its a busy shop street.. Our villa has a bar on the beach which turns in to a restaurant in the sand by night (where we ate our first night). Next to the bar it a pool also over looking the beach!
