Day 4 - Bangkok to Koh Samui

After leaving Dag last night, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed back to the hotel to pack, had a cuppa, watched Fridays episode of Eastenders (sad I know) and finally fell asleep.

I think the accidental lay in was a big mistake as we only slept for a couple of hours and then decided to watch a few episodes of the Twilight Zone.  I think that I must have dropped off in the 3rd episode and suddenly woken by the phone at 5am only to find Si still watching TV with his headphones on.

After a shower and breakfast we caught our taxi to the airport, checked in only to find that the max luguage allowance is 30kg per person  ..we had just on a 100kg, 2100 baht excess to pay  ..but we managed to haggle them down to 1500 baht (£30) ..thank God we flew business class, else it would have been only 20kg allowance each.

Anyway, we had a great flight, collected our bags, dropped them at the ferry terminal and now sat in the cafe opposite typing to you guys :-D

The ferry leaves at 1.30pm which should get into Koh Tao around 4.30pm where we'll be collected by stars Alan & Heidi (Ex landlord/lady)

Now, Simon...You seem to be rather relaxed. I don't understand it - you're going to an island where you can dive at any time, have a western income coming in, rent is next to nothing, meals and drinks are cheap, explore where you want, say what you say, drink what you want and mmmmm, I can't think why you have a smirk?? ;) Jen...more pics of you please! x
