Koh Samui - Through the island


Ok, so we decided to take another trip, but this time we went through the island, which is pretty dangerous, because of the roads and that, but we managed to make it, and I even have some videos this time XD












A glof course

Ok, the videos are pretty low quality, but I did that to avoid the huge upload which never seems to work, so, i hope you enjoy watching

Koh Samui - Around the island

So, it did not take long before we decided that we were going to take a scooter ride around the island, which is amazingly cheap if you know what you are doing, and seeing as how the island is not that big, you can easily do it under 1 tank of petrol. We all rented scooters, and this is what we saw


 An amazing sculpture of an Alien, made with cogs and gears and chains etc
 Same thing but the one is a predator
 The big Buddha Satue

 After some more driving wecame along this beach, amazingly clear water, and this wasn't even close to the best
 Same beach, different view
 Now, this little guy here is called Fanta, and i honestly fell in love with him, he was the most adorable little monkey that you have ever seen, it was just so sad to see a chain around his neck.

Koh Samui - Day 1

So, it has been a while since I have posted anything, but I will be posting a lot from now on, since i have many photos to go through and add. Anyways, our first day on the tropical island of Koh Samui was pretty awesome. It is everything that you would expect from a island, palm trees EVERYWHERE you go, amazing beaches, etc. The Hotel that we stayed at was called Save House, and it was a pretty amazing place, as you can see from the photos below


 Our room is on the left

So, we started going to the classes on day 1, which was quite hectic since we were all pretty much still trying to wake up, and others hadn't even arrived yet, but we went along with it and found the school pretty easily. here are some random pictures of the street from the school




Taking a walk back from the school

So, day 1 was pretty successful, there are other photos but not ones that I took from my camera so i have no idea where they are, if i find them i will post them

More Random Pics

 Ok, I know I haven't posted in a while, but things have been very hectic, and with the mount of pictures that I have taken, it has been a real hassle to try and sort through all the photos that I should use, and the ones that I shouldn't, and, to make matters worse, every time I have tried to update my blog with the photos, this blogger program would keep crashing, or something else would make me get over it, since it takes a crap load of time to upload all the pictures. But, I have now sorted it all out and am ready to continue, the pictures in this blog are all random things that have been taken, you may have seen some already, but I think you will be ok.

 The thailand version of checkers
 The Checkers is like 4 stories, so they have these magnetic escalators, you can leave the trolley on its on and it wont roll down
