Ko Samoi

Sorry Shaun hasn't updated his blog in a while. 

We had a fantastic time in Ko Samoi. We stayed at a resort on the beach. We had 2 pools at our resort and our room was the closest one to the beach! 

This is the resturant at the beach that we ate at. It was about 10m from our room! 

This pool was just outside our room. 

Shaun had a nice time in Ko Samoi relaxing at the beach/pool and shopping. He also met lots of new people and had lots of late nights staying up playing card games.  (But it was okay because he could sleep beside the pool the next day!) 

On the 14th April Shaun went to a party on an island called koh pha Ngan. Each month they have a big party at this island to celebrate the full moon. It was lots of fun with people dancing to different DJs on the beach. There was also lots of performers who did acts with fire. It was amazing to watch!! 

While we were in Ko Samoi it was also 'Songkron.' This is when Buddhist people celebrate their new year. They celebrate their new year with a massive water fight. Wow! It was crazy - the streets were just filled with people holding water guns and buckets. You couldn't walk down the street without being completely drenched in water. We bought our own water guns and got amongst the action! 

Streets filled with people holding water guns! 

Chelsea has her water gun ready in the pool incase anyone tries to shoot her! 

This photo was taken of Miss Grant just after a child drenched her with a bucket of water. 

After 5 days at Ko samoi Shaun, Kirsty, Chelsea and Holly flew back to Bangkok. We had one night in Bangkok altogether before Chelsea and Kirsty flew back to Australia and New Zealand. Shaun had the most amazing time travelling with these girls and was so sad to say goodbye. He hopes to travel with them again one day!! 

The same day that Chelsea and Kirsty left, Shaun's new friend Matt arrived. We have 2 more nights in Bangkok with Matt before leaving on our next journey! 

Dubai ... Turkey ... London ... Here we come!!
