Winnie's Whereabouts

Thailand Koh Samet (25-29apr)

The two of us, Sophia & I took a couple of days detour to see chantaburi & koh samet.

It was not the right season for chantaburi, so we missed both the waterfalls (dry season, low water) and fruit season.

We spent the 3days in kohsamet instead.
Highlights of the stay :

A tumble from a modified 'kap' motorbike.. that was quite nasty. Luckily 2 travellers came to our rescue, one had a quad-bike & rescued Sophia ;) . She got a safe ride back to e chalet. The accident toll was lots of scraps & cuts on both of us, and a sprained ankle on me. Luckily no broken bones.
The next day, i took the bike out and rode the whole length on e isle, and thought it was quite a blessing we fell on e smaller slope.. there were some even more nasty steep sandy parts of road further down !

There was muay thai lessons (thai boxing) by the beach, i could only look enviously nursing an injured ankle.

That night, we met 2 aussies and had nice dinner at Jeps. They we excited abt fire-twirler down the beach, and seeing e next night's show.. i totally agree it was spectacular !

Koh samet beach, we can't help but notice many 'thai women' soliciting westerners. And so many pacts, and their antics on the beachfront. On the ferry back, there was this woman who kept feeding potato chips and then squeezing the pimple for her client ! Yuks..

All in all, i think a conservative isle on malaysia is a more condusive environment for families & 'no nonsense travellers' to relax.
Haha.. but we would miss the good thai food and affordable beachside massage.. well well.
