Geckos Beachcomber DAY 4 - Koh Samui

Days 3-4: Koh Samui
Our train arrives in the early morning and we transfer by bus to the ferry terminal (approximately 2 hours) for the two-hour ferry trip to the beautiful island of Koh Samui. In the afternoon we take a trip around the island in a songthaew, visiting the 15-metre tall Big Buddha. There’s time to take a dip in the cool tropical waterfalls of Na Muang and also to drop in to see the Mummified Monk. After this we head back to our secluded fan-cooled accommodation, situated in the north of the island. The rest of your time on Koh Samui is free to choose amongst a multitude of activities. Swim, laze in the sun, ride an elephant, dive or snorkel, take a optional day tour to the breath taking Ang Thong National Marine Park - the decisions are yours. In the evenings you can relax, dine on the beach at the water’s edge and soak up the pleasant tropical atmosphere.

NEW YEARS DAY!

Sleeping late and having a delicious breakfast i headed to the beach - all day! I only moved for my massage - on the beach - and later that night for dinner otherwise it was beach, beach, beach! $4 cocktails, sun and sand - great way to start the new year!
