Thailand - Koh Sumui - Koh Tao - Koh Phangan

Arrived in sunnt Thailand and decided to head straight to teh islands for some serious relaxation and take in teh sights in bangkok on our way back... we headedstraight for Koh Samui and stayed at the Chaweng Garden Beach "resort" , first impressions of the place were like playa de Ibiza.. for those here before you nay see some changes in the main street below!

Remember this haunt anyone...!!

Boots, loads of families and constant raves - pure party central, so we decided to leave and look for somewhere more secluded...! we headed up to Koh Tao and it was fab.. we stayed at the Sensi Paradise resort just on the beach and it was gorgeous..checkout views from the room below..

More pics...sooo nice..

Needless to say the food was fab too - as usual one of our main prioirities is to make sure we eat - loads ... lol

From here we did boat trips up to Koh NangJuan and around the island and also managed to swim with balck tipped sharks which was great it was just like being in a massive aquarium!... the rest of the time was spent chilling and snorkelling around our beach as there was a huge ship that had sunk 45yrs ago that you could dive around...
we then decided to head to Koh Phangan and stayed one night in Haad Son but then went further north to Haad Salad were we are at the minute.. we would love to add more pics but teh camera had a bit of an accident in the swimming pool and so you will have to wait until some shopping is done in Bangkok til you see more pics i'm afraid... (first and hopefully only casualty!).. :-(

anyhow staying at the Haad salad resort now and its lovely, however the actual salad isnt very good... dont seem to believe in lettuce! heading on more boat trips, elephant trekking and to waterfalls in the next few days so we will keep you posted...
hope all is well back home

love Deb and Ger
