Kohs: both Samui and Phangan

So I left Phuket for the islands Koh Samui and Koh Phangan.  This hostel was a lot more ghetto, but the company was better.  I met a few Irish friends that have proved there are still a few cool backpackers in Thailand!

This hostel turned off the A/C between 10am and 5pm.  Understandable, but there was no escape from the insane heat.

First cheapo Thailand purchase

Cool pier in the middle of Fisherman's Village

Breakfast and a view


I found the coolest elephant garden!  The pictures will explain it.














I don't know if I heart Samui, but it was a nice place to wander aimlessly through.

Red curry

Super sweaty bottle (hate humidity) and couple breaking up in the background.  I believe I heard the girl say "well I haven't been on the pill for a while now."  Eek.

Fisherman's Village

View from the hostel

Left Koh Samui for Koh Phangan!  This island is known for the crazy full moon parties.  I may or may not have timed my trip so I arrived 2 days after the full moon party.  This meant the town was less busy, less expensive, and more clean.


I also treated myself to a bungalow with a pool because YOLO!

View from my bungalow, a monkey hung out on my porch the first morning.  Didn't get a pic so just imagine him sitting on the porch light.



Free brekkie was included

Sign language subtitles?!  So spectacularly cool!


I'm gonna guess they don't have slurpees

Massaman curry

not-so-full-moon-party



All I wanted from this part of the vacay was a good beach.  I finally found one in Haad Rin!  Part of the water was fenced off so visitors could swim without getting stung by poisonous jellyfish.  I admit I got a couple tiny stings, but nothing too bad.





View from the pool!

Laundry day!  They do all your laundry for you in Thailand.  Kinda weird to see someone has folded each pair of underwear but it all smells super good so that's a plus.
We found ourselves a drinking buddy!
