Thailand, Day 7

I’ve been jotting down notes on my phone as I walk around Thailand. I don’t have time to write long posts, so here’s a list of observations, activities, etc.

Still on Koh Samui

Still in Lamai beach on Koh Samui. This beach is so much more calm than Chaweng and Nathon. If you want to get drunk and stumble around yelling, don’t come here.

Early Morning

Remembering how I used to love going to body surf at 8 am in California, I woke up early to go see the ocean in the morning. The sun was still coming up at 6:15, and the beach was so peaceful.

Breakfast

Still in Koh Samui, at the Nathon port town… I had an “American breakfast” at some small restaurant; I was craving a cup of coffee and couldn’t get into the idea of having it with curry ;)

Moving Around the Island

On a songthaew to Chaweng I met a lady from Manchester who told me of an awesome bookstore in Lamai. Also, she said Lamai is better than Chaweng so when I got there I jumped straight on a truck to Lamai!

Lamai is awesome — less drunk college kids than Chaweng. I found a sweet bungalow for 500 baht. Water is much closer, beach is prettier, town is quieter.

Catch Up on Sleep

Sleep in late, still tired from the train ride yesterday.

Lunch

Lunch of green curry and Thai iced tea right by the boardwalk, nice and breezy and delicious food, 150 baht.

Dogs Fishing

Walk on the beach, see some dogs pretty far out in the shallow water, he’s wagging his tail and pouncing, must be looking for fish! Kinda cute. I wonder if they ever catch any.
