Finally, the day that my sister and her boyfriend would be visiting us. We had a really long journey from Krabi to Koh Samui, taking about 6 hours. We arrived before them so we checked into Lub D, which looked amazing; more like a hotel than hostel! We were hoping to surprise them, but as we hadn’t heard for them we checked the reception and there they were, waiting for us. We spent the first day catching up over some drinks and enjoying some cocktails, which was a nice change to the cheap beer me and Laura normally limit ourselves to!
We spent the next couple days just lounging in the sun, exploring down the beach and drinking. One day we booked to do a Jeep tour around the island which was great! We were picked up in the morning, and taken to popular tourist spots on the island, such as the “mummified monk”, a monk who had devoted his life to his religion and died whilst mediating, and was preserved in a glass box so his body hasn’t deteriorated that much. We were then taken to a waterfall which was fairly impressive, which also had a water slide that was rapid! We then did a zip line through the trees, which was really fun and had a great view over Koh Samui. After some lunch, we then went off road into the woods and were given the option to sit on top of the jeep if we wanted to. Wow, we was rocking about all over the place and being flung around, like a free rollercoaster! The final stop was the big buddah, which again had a really nice view looking out.
For the final evening in Samui, me and Alex decided to go to a club whilst the girls decided to stay at the hostel. It was an interesting experience to see a Thai club, it was so busy!
