Koh Samui

One of the tourist attractions on Koh Samui is the grandfather and grandmother rocks. I coulnd’t get a picture of the grandmother rock without breaking my head but heres a picture of the grandfather rock.

It’s suppose to resemble something..I don’t quite see it.

We spent the day at a hot springs the entry fee was 1500 baht per person and included a light snack and drinks. Each of the pools were made between Giant boulders. Inbetween 2 of the giant boulders they created a steam room.

Nice way to relax.

It’s amazingly what you can get for your money here compared to back home. All of this costed only 9,000 Baht (about $250 dollars) and it included pickup and drop off from our hotel which was a 30 minute drive.

At the end of it all they gave us hot tea, crackers and fresh fruit for free.

If we attempted to get this in Vegas it would cost way over $1,000

We didn’t do anything today.

One thing that really bugs me is when you’re walking down the opposite direction of a one way street and the taxi drivers or tuk tuks try to get you to come in their vehicle. I’m walking in the opposite direction they can drive why would I bother getting into the taxi?

There are two problems with Bar Ice. Firstly it’s not on the main strip and secondly if you don’t go in with people odds are you’re going to be standing in the freezer alone with the two bartenders.

Went on a Jungle Safari into the mountains which included a elephant show, a monkey show, a crocodile show, a small zoo, and a visit to the “Secret Buddha Garden”. (800 baht per person)

Went to the beach

[  ] Built Sand Castles
[x] Rock Water Slides 

Chaweng Beach is about a 15 minute cab ride from Lamai Beach (300 Baht). It’s definng toetly more touristy and a lot more people are trying to sell you something. We found someone selling all sorts of DVDs (5 for 300 baht)

We rented Changeling, Twilight, Quantum Of Solace, Revolutionary Road, and Rock N Rolla. They were all DVD rips except Twilight.

Lamai Beach is the beach we will be going to in Koh Samui. The sand isn’t as powdery as Patong Beach but the giant rocks that you can use as water slides make up for it.
