I Love Thailand

Thailand holiday 2009 – part 05

A holiday to Thailand, Feb 2009, partly for a friend’s wedding

Last part of the film and more wild monkeys running through the resort. One of the nights we caught a boat over to where the rock climbers stay and hang out. Much more backpacker and rough. We loved it. the food was great! big portions and people were friendly. Only problem was that it poured down with rain with a huge thunder storm while we were there, so none of the boats would take us back! We had to buy torches and clamber back over the rocks back to our beach, with some Swedes who were in the same predicament as us! good fun.

More monkeys in the trees on the way back from the beach on the other side. Ran out of battery on the camera so had to use mobile phone. The beach here was great, with a boat which pulled in selling food it would make there and then, pad Thai etc. Then it was time to leave sunrise tropical resort hotel and go back to ko samui for the wedding. Had a bad stomach that day and the bus trip to catch the ferry was a nightmare!

Last part of the film is leaving Lamai Beach, where we stayed one night for the wedding. Hotel was ok, but the area was just awful. Full of English bars and louts. Not very nice. It was like Majorca! Dirty old men with young girls etc. Such a shame and so different then chaweng beach, where we were at the quiet and could go to the main drag if we wanted. Footage is just of the trip to the airport. AT the airport though we bumped into a famous Thai soap star. We watched local TV and got watching this soap opera, like neighbours etc. The girl we thought looked like Jade goody. Then we saw her at the airport and had our pics taken with her. She must have thought we were mad lol
