Route

To Koh Samui (31st Oct and 1st Nov)

Travelled from the River Kwai initially towards Bangkok and then south towards the Bay of Thailand. 


We stopped at a Tesco Lotus store for lunch at Pranburi and then made a bush camp approx 220 km north of the Don sak Harbour



We left the bush camp at 07:00 arriving at the harbour 3 hrs later.  This gave us time to dry out our tents before embarking on the Ferry to Koh Samui for a 90 min crossing to Thailand's 3rd largest island.  We all crammed into a small truck and made our way to White sands bungalows at Lamai beach.  Sarah, Honnie and Megan had upgraded to the bungalows next door so made thier own way there.  Walked along the beach to the town in the afternoon - the sand was disappointing as it was fairly gritty and the sea was reasonably rough and you had to be a confident swimmer to vebnture into the water. 
During lunch at the hotel a cobra was soptted and caught and then it was going to be returned to the mountains in the centre of the island.
