Koh Samui

First 2 days here (2nd & 3rd Nov) were spent exploring the local town (Lamai Beach and also the island on an around the island tour. 

Glyn, Kieran, Laura and Martin arrived back from their diving course safely at lunchtime on the 2nd, unfortunately Martin failed the diving course but the other 3 successfully obtained their certificates. 

The island tour started at the Plai Leam Temple which was stunning over the water then moved to the nearby big Buddha temple. 

 

 We stopped at a viewpoint over the Chaweng Beach. 

We then moved south to the Grandfather and Granmother rocks (next door to our hotel) and then on to the Khunnaram Temple where the Mummified Monk Loung Pordaeng is on display. 

 We then saw a short monkey show and spent some time clambering up to the Namuang Falls (80m waterfall).  I then went on for a short visit to Nathon Town before returning to the Hotel at Lamai Beach.
