Koh Samui

After the craziness of the party island, we headed to Koh Samui to relax for a few days. Even though it is more commercialised than the other islands, it had a much nicer feel than Koh Phangan. We were all so tired, the first night was pretty uneventful, with an early night in a sweltering room.

The next day took was not so great, I woke up feeling great, but as soon as I went down for breakfast, I became dizzy and delirious, I couldn't talk properly, or even stand up straight. It was the beginning of a long and horrible day. I won't go into details, but I spent the rest of the day in bed, or curled around the toilet with the shower running over my head.

My migraine eased off at night and I managed to keep down some food, and then started to feel much better, but still I had an early night, hoping that the next day would be an improvement.

It was much better when I woke, we all went to the beach and relaxed in the sea. Jane and I rented a jet ski for half an hour and it was incredible! It was so powerful and the sea was a little choppy, so we were just bouncing across the waves, Jane was holding on so tight she had bruises. It was quite expensive, but was well worth it. One of the most exhilarating experiences of my life, it came close to bungy jumping. I would recommend it to anyone.

This was Boput Beach on Koh Samui

We returned to our accommodation and after about an hour, Tom seemed to have turned into quite a deep shade of red, which was entertaining for everyone else but him.

That night we met up with Charlie and his friends for a few drinks. It ended up being a nice night, nobody got particularly drunk and we just had a laugh. This was pretty much the end of our time on Koh Samui, so the next morning, we packed up and headed up to Bangkok to meet David's family.
