Our last day had a bright and early start followed by frantic last minute packing in order to catch our island-hopper plane from Koh Samui to Phuket. Mysha and I were ecstatic not to be spending hours on a bus (6 to be exact)! The outdoor mini-airport at Koh Samui had tropical plants everywhere, warm …
An early start this morning as we wrap up loose ends on Koh Phangan before catching the ferry to Koh Samui. On the list: finish packing, return scooter, check out of resort, and catch taxi. But first, breakfast! We finally made it to a very sweet spot close to the resort called the Art Cafe. …
Our last full day on Koh Phangan and we saved the best till last – a 4-hour cooking course with Cherry at C&M Thai Culture Center. We were forewarned not to eat breakfast so we took some fresh mango, yoghurt, and a piece of coconut pound cake to the pool where we…you guessed it: read …
Our second full day on Phangan was set aside for exploration and adventuring (to begin after an hour by the pool reading our books). We took our little scooter north to Choloklum Bay. The drive was stunning: hilly, tropical, and a little wild! The first stop was breakfast. We were hungry but of course we …
We almost skipped today’s post out of respect for our friends, families and members – we still want people to like us when we, eventually, come home. But in the hopes you forgive us, let us bring you to Koh Phangan – a true paradise. Although we now always sleep past 5am we love getting …
There is just no way to have a good night’s sleep without air conditioning in Thailand. I barely slept at all last night and was grateful to “start” my day at 4:30am. I went for an early morning workout and then we headed to our favorite eating spot down the beach. We don’t know quite …
Today was our first full day on Koh Tao (koh means island). We woke up, as per our usual, around 4:30am. Our room at the Mondalay only has a fan – no air conditioning – so to cool off we decided to go for an early morning swim at 6am. The pool was being cleaned …
Mysha and I woke up for our usual early start at 4:30am in ‘cooky’ Chumphon. We decided on a much needed cup of tea so Mysha made her way over to the front desk to request mugs, spoons, and a kettle using nothing but charades and charm. I had purchased fermented milk by accident the day before so …
Our day started early (3:30am) but we seem to be consistently adding an hour of sleep each night. A rare freshness in the air prompted us to take a walk down the road into the unknown before breakfast. A number of mangy wild dogs crossed our path almost making us turn back but we decided …
We woke up bright and early at 1:30am!!! Had a blissful early morning nap and then went for our breakfast with all the fixins! We rented a scooter from the resort and went into Ranong town for the popular Provincial Market, which had everything from clothing to toys and household goods and an extensive exhibit of …
