june 17th
got up after a bit of lie in (well it was for everyone else - i was up and wide awake at 8 am) so had a leisurely breakfast before catching a car thing like a ute to the bus station where we had a military operation in place. we took over the platform that the bus was coming to and then as soon as it arrived the girls saved 13 seats and then the boys put all the rucksacks on. the reason for the military style operation was beacuse it was so busy! the bus was heaving! got on and we were all split up and i ended up next to an old geezer who coughed and sneezed the whole journey over me and then decided to take over both his an my seat and would not move his arms and ended up practiaclly hugging me - he got some funny looks, some very loud AHEM's and then the odd elbow in the side! we then got off at a ferry terminal and made our way on to a boat that was going to take us to koh samui! when we arrived it was stunning - so pretty and the sun was out that made it that whole lot better. we got into mini buses and got taken to our resort - beach out the front, swimming pool and a restaurant - sorted was the best way to describe it! after litteraly dumping our bags in the room we donned our bikini's (that have not seen the light of day for a month or so) and headed straight for the pool and a few drinks. we then had tea and whilst at tea we came to the decision to go to the lady boy show. someone made the suggestion to dress the boys up and they all readily agreed! we then went to get ready our selves and then the boys came round so that we could dress them! nathan wore my dress and we dressed matt up in a pair of my shorts and pink hair band and lauras yellow strapless top! my god they lookes hilarious! please ask to see the photo's of the boys when i get back! they are immense! after that we headed to a taxi to get into town - after a 20 minute drive and lots of funny looks from passers by we made our way to the show where the lads joined in to the full. the lady boy show was awesome - it was like a cabaret and the guys sang along with the tunes and dances - some looked a bit scary but some of them looked very much like women and no one would have known if it wasn't for the fact that they were in a lady boys show or that they had adam's apples! after the show and many costume changes by the boys later we made our way to a club and had a bit of a bop before heading back to the hotel.

got up bright and early fro breakfast and then headed to the beach to catch the boat for a tour of some of the islands around koh samui. laura didn't come as she was feeling a bit ill (not alcohol induced!). the trip was amazing - did some snorkelling, some hill climbing and some sunbathing. by the time i came home it was time for a nap. after a nap me and laura met jo and emma for tea and then headed to get ready for the full moon party! yes indeedy it just so happened that the few days that we were going to be in koh samui there just happened to be a full moon party on at the same time! awesome! we got a ticket that got us from the hotel, to a boat, on a boat to koh penang and then a boat back to koh samui and a lift to our hotel! we got on the boat and on our way to koh penang. when we arrived we had to pay an entry fee and then we found paint! not just normal paint, were talking glow in the dark bright pink paint! so after we covered our selves in paint we headed down towards the beach buying a pucket for 2 pounds on the way. in this bucket we had a whole bottle of alcohol (about 0.75 litres) a can of coke or lemonade and a red bull (please see picture to see what these buckets look like)! was awesome - that one bucket lasted me all night! we then made our way onto the beach where it was aall kicking off - the atmosphere was outstanding - the people were all having an amazing time and everyone was smiling. me and jo got more paint (which turned out to be a big mistake as i couldnt get the damn stuff off for a good day or so!) and then headed to a spot on the beach where we could see the action, we were by the sea as well so we had a nice breeze and also close enough to the music so we could dance but not right in the middle so we couldn't escape. eventually we found some of the others from our trip and made friends with some blokes that joined our table and we also took part in a lot of dancing (for some reason a fair bit of it took place on a table or a bench!). then we met the rest of our group and then headed back for another boogy. we then spent the rest of the evening, dancing, chatting and generally having a laugh. we saw a bloke get spiked and helped him to saftey - i feel that was our very good deed of the holiday! but we saw lots of people getting dragged out of the sea by their mates as they'd obviously had something a bit wrong. me and laura had been a bit apprehensive of the whole thing so were being extra careful and always keeping an eye on each other and each others drinks (aren't we good mummy!) after a while we started getting fed up of getting thrown in the sea (got wrestled in the sand by two of the boys on our trip and then thrown in the sea by one of them! just as well i had my bikini on underneath my clothes. we headed back to get some food and then to get the boat back. we had to wait an hour and a half in a cattle market to get in - it was insane - puching shoving shouting yelling - was not good. eventually got through the barrier just beofre a massive surge which looked like it was going to take down the barrier. we got home and had a quick shower to try adn get all the paint off. then litterally fell onto bed and slept. by the time we got in it was 5 am!
