Koh Somet and Week 3

Hi again,

I know this blog is late, I'm sorry, but this week has been quite a bad week in terms of experiencing Thailand.

I'm also sorry that this blog is going to be short, though it was an amazing experience filled weekend there isn't much to tell about it (not on here at least :p )

First thing to happen was Jaime and I were able to leave school early Friday and head out to the pier waiting to head over to Koh Somet. By the time everyone arrived, we got on a speedboat and arrived at our destination it was nearing 5pm. Our 'taxi' driver (we were on the back of a truck) pointed us in one direction indicating that is where our accommodation for the weekend was to be. Well that wasn't the case at all. After getting lost within 5 minuets of being on the island we somehow managed to find a local to show us where we would be staying. It was amazing where we stayed, great view of the beach and was such a close walk!!!! We all loved it there.

A few pre dinner drinks

The first thing we did was into our togs and then into the sea. The water was so suwaee (beautiful) and ped (hot)!!! With swimming done pre dinner drinks started... and continued... and continued... I mean we are young uni students on an island celebrating someones 21st! Bring on the New Zealand drinking culture.

Amazing sunset on Saturday night

Saturday morning started bright and early with majority of us up before 8am, walking down the beach finding a nice place for breakfast. After food it was back into togs and in the water again. A day filled with walking from one end of the beach to the other, sunbathing and swimming was just what the doctor ordered. It was so nice and relaxing just sitting there and watching the world go by, I'd do that everyday if I had the opportunity.

Saturday night came, it was Annabel's 21st so celebration was in order. It was a good night.






Sunday arrived and this time people were a little slower to awake in the morning yet some of us who had very little or no alcohol were up again bright and early going about our normal routine (walk down the beach until we find food).

After breakfast parasailing was in order for some of the dare devils. I opted to watch and take photos, it was still so much fun and the few that did parasailing really enjoyed it.

Sadly all good fun does come to an end and we were soon back on main land heading home to Pluak Daeng. This for me is when it started going downhill.

I got sick spent two days in bed and still now feeling ill hence why late blog post sorry all.

This weekend (as in tomorrow) we are heading to Pattaya which will be a fun filled experience. I'll add our itinerary into this for you.

See  you next time
