Summer '06 Trip Post #6

Day 6-10: Monday, July 3 – Cambodia and Koh Samui (time to relax)

Today we departed Siem Reap and flew to Koh Samui via Bangkok. The flight was fairly uneventful and we were greeted by our hotel at the airport. Koh Samui is one of the larger islands in southern Thailand and has become fairly developed. This is also the host of one of the largest parties in the world, the Full Moon Party. Unfortunately we were not there during a full moon. The most famous beach and party area was Chaweng but we stayed at a beach a little further north, which was quieter but we could still access the night scene via taxi.

When we arrived at the Santiburi Resort we were informed that our room had been upgraded to a villa next to the beach with a Jacuzzi. It was incredible to say the least (pic 1, pic 2, pic 3). This part of the trip was filled with lots of beach time and relaxing. We did do some island tours and also toured the island we were on. Not much else to post, check out the pictures...

All in all it was an incredible trip and I would like to go back again and explore other areas in the region. Till visiting Nat in Singapore in February...
