The islands

After climbing high up on the hills to one of the most expensive bars, I enjoyed the last of Phuket during the sunset. It was time to go to the islands of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Samui. Just less than two weeks and I'd be back home..


During the last weeks the weather wasn't too good, heavy rain mostly. That obviously had huge impact on my time on the islands. Not able to scooter around meant not be able to see as much as I've hoped for. Phi Phi was quite a cute little island. Wished I could have been there before the high season tho.



 The journey to Koh samui took most of the day and we had to changes buses few times and take the ferry as well. I got so badly travel sick, worst day ever. Luckily the resort I stayed in was great and finally I would get to go to the swimming pool! I didn't care if it was raining I was going to do it no matter what. Even had beers by the pool in the rain.


They had full moon party the island next to Samui but due to horrid weather and my earlier sickness decided not to go. Instead enjoyed the Lantern festival. Huge market full of food, drinks and clothing. The receptionist even gave me a hand made Loi Krathong, made from banana leaves and decorated with flowers and a candle. Then I had to launch it on the pond and make a whish.
 






After dinner one night I got a tiny bit drunk.. Had some of Thailands famous buckets, some tequila, smirnoff ice and some other drinks.. quite a cocktail I must admit. Towards the end of the night I've made friends with the bar staff and was dancing on the poles with them.. embarrasing I know.. Oh and I was cuddling a monkey! I do love bananas..



Next destination Bangkok..
