Koh Samet

Linda has been to Thailand many times but she had never been to the island of Koh Samet.  Koh Samet is only a bus and a ferry ride from Bangkok so we decided to check it out.











We ended up loving it there. We had no hostels booked so we took it night by night and stayed in 3 different places.

On the first night we accidentally saw the big fire show on the beach while eating sea food curry and drinking Thai beer (soooo much better than Chinese beer).
 How low can you go? (We didn't try)

There wasn't a lot to do on Koh Samet (if you don't count finding new places to sleep almost every day) so we spent a lot of time on the beach.



We ate a pancake nearly every night.  YUM!  These are in Bangkok too but it was more fun eating them on the beach.  You can get just about anything inside - peanut butter, chocolate, eggs, fruit, nuts, and condensed milk. 

We stayed in the nicest place on the last night -it included breakfast and was very close to the beach.

 It was a nice way to start Linda's birthday!
7 Eleven is EVERYWHERE in Thailand.  But in 2 spots on Koh Samet we saw 2 right across the street from each other.   We did have a favorite.  One was cleaner and had more to choose from.


Next: Bangkok!
