Yep, still here. They say half the fun of travelling is the travelling part itself, well b******s to that because we've been here on Samui for 2 weeks now, are still in the same hut, and f***ing loving it! This place is paradise. Snorkelling in the clear blue sea chasing the billions of fish, sipping cocktails on the beach (along with the occasional beer of course), and feasting on amazing Thai food. This place rocks! Randomly stumbled across a fantastic Thai ro...

Yep, still in Lamai and will be for a few more days by the look of it. We f***ing love this place! We are 30 seconds away from 2 of the most fantastic restaurants i have ever experienced, both over looking the palm tree lined beach, and the Thai food in both really is something special (green curry is the dogs danglers). Plus we have the incredible water directly on our doorstep, and the bungalow we are renting is cheap as chips. We dabbled with some low rent acc...

Still here.. Once Lamai beach gets hold of you it just won't let go. Nearly broke free today. Hired a scooter for the first time and it was all going so well until... I got me a Samui tattoo.

Not that i should have expected DVLA, highway code like driving standards from drivers that use both sides of the road, regardless of directional flow, or pedestrian walkways as one and the same. Ended up cr...

5 days in and we are still in Lamai. Going to make our way round the rest of the island eventually, but this place is just so cool. We are Robinson Cruso'd up now, renting a pukka little hut 10 yards from the shore. We have been pissed for the last 8 days so just taking it easy today. Been chilling out on the veranda reading and drinking coffee (hammocks literally rock). I would highly recommend Luis debernier's south american trilogy. Sad, disturbing, magical an...

2nd day on the beautiful island of Koh Samui and our movement is restricted by sunburnt legs of the highest order. Dangling your pegs over the side of a boat for an hour long journey in 35 degree heat without applying sun cream is really f***ing stupid! Talking of restricted movements, Thai curries keep other things moving along with a bit too much momentum... The 10 hour coach journey from Bangkok was marred by an overbearing stench of urine coming from the ove...
