The streets in Bangkok are mad! The water war has overtaken the city… it is amazing that people haven’t started opening the car doors or entering buses when the windows are closed, in order to drench you! As we traveled out of Bangkok we wondered how the city streets would appear 20 minutes out from city center – would they be this crazy?!
Arriving at the airport, we had 2 security checks – one at the terminal, and another at the gate – which were an absolute breeze – and a quick bite before our 45 minute flight to Ko Samui! The flight offered multiple views of the greenish lights of the boats harbored in clusters below.
Arriving in Ko Samui was an experience in itself… sort of, well, like Disney World! Reason being that they use the same kind of shuttle that the parking lots used 20 years ago in Disney World to take your from the plane to an open air, resort looking, hut island with one baggage carousel – which is actually 4 separate belts, forming a square, that have a physics wiz behind their design, so they always drop the bag on the belt below!
We’ve officially gone retro – island style! I love it!
The North End of the island (which is the quietest section) was actually quite packed with tons of little shops, cafes, and other minor conveniences lining the road… for about 20 minutes non-stop!
We settled in to a place called the Moon, and enjoyed sinking our feet into the sand and watching little homemade rockets (or, so we think) and a couple fireworks a few hundred yards across the water. Sand so deep and lush, water so warm, sky so clear – I’m lovin’ the Thai island life already!
