Ko Samui

Blue seas, white sand below the palms... And new Tesco shop with western food! How could we miss this? Plan was changed at the last minute and we boarded ferry once again and set off to the tropical paradise of Ko Samui.


After consulting not one, but two guide books we decided to stay on the Chaweng beech - arguably the nicest beach on the island. The beach is really beautiful although a bit overcrowded with resorts. Swimming is not too great - you need to take your time to get deep and snorkeling is practically non-existent. This was a bit let down after Ko Tao and snorkeling with black-tip reef sharks. So, we settled for few days of doing beech life. Well, with rented scooter to break the monothony... Cammon, you know us!





But we will always remember Samui. Dejan was celebrating his birthday on October 16th in a really special way. We prepared a real spread on the beach that we practically had for ourselves. Wine and cheese and good bread! If you are wondering what is in the bag - it is ice. We DO come prepared. Followed by midnight swim in the warm waters of the sea... It will be the one to remember!

After 3 days it was time to leave Samui. It is a beautiful place to come to relax on the beech and be pampered in posh resorts, but lacks a bit on the diving/snorkeling side. Now, you may know this already, but quality of snorkeling has a big impact on the Jugs beech-o-meter.

Next stop - Bangkok. Glass and concrete, asphalt and smog, here we come! And, actually we have missed you a lot...
