Day 8 & 9: Ko Samui

This morning we hung out at the pool after our 7/11 yogurt breakfast and banana. This resort we opted out for the breakfast and our course were starving! Matt decided to try and sneak into the free breakfast and I chickened out. Of course Matt came back stuffed haven gotten his breakfast and an accidental second dish! Man I missed out!

From there we walked a scorching 25mins to the pier to take the 1hr ferry to samui. The ride was quite pleasant with awesome views. When we arrived we stopped for a bite of our first north American meal...Asians "best cheese burger." Matt thought it was awesome and I not so much. We are going to stick to the safer Thai food from now on.

We arrived at chawang beach and found a decent resort there right on the beach. This area was all about tourists! There was no end to the shopping and restaurants of all cultures. Of course since there were the most amount of foreigners we have seen yet, it was the most expensive area yet. We cruised around a bit but mostly suntanned on the beach. To our surprise the beach was very "European" if you know what I mean!

There were so many people and restaurants on the beach it was amazing. As night fell the tables came out all lit up with style and glam. We found a massage parlor on the beach and relaxed as the new year fireworks lit up the sky. After that we decided to have a snack at one of the beautiful tables on the beach. The dining table was comprised of a table and two day beds with candles so we could lay back and eat while looking out at the sea.

Tomorrow we head for Phuket on a very early flight. Talk to you then!

Chelsea and Matt
