Haay everybody!! Heard about the crazy rain you guys have been having.. It kinda makes us feel bad about our continuous talk of perfect sunny days and amazing beaches..haha dont mean to rub it in..dale says suckers..but i say my heart goes out you all hahahaha..bet you guys really miss us now aye..hahaha we love u all..u know it..
Ok, now back to us.. Weve been on Samui for 5 days now... Weve been very lucky and been able to stay with family friends at their beautiful house (thanks Dean and Irit!!!) with the most amazing views... Its seriously like something out of The OC.. No shit.. If anyone ever wants to come to Samui you guys have to stay in one of their villas.. Their place is just absolutely breath taking! It was soo good to leave Ko Tao.. We really liked that place but couldnt really ever get some alone time.. There was just soo many people.. Soo Its been perfect here in Samui.. We initially read that Samui was the next Phuket and it was just sooo crowded.. But thats a load of crap.. We have pretty much had every beach weve been to all to ourselves.. and the water is just absolutely breath taking.. Crystal clear or aqua blue.. Weve been riding around pretty much every day going to different beaches and checking out shops here and there... We're both really hungry as weve made a few 'investments' in the local dress shops... its funny because we are finding that our main expense is either our craving for western food (which is alot more expensive that thai) or Sems fettish for dresses. So far she has accumulated 7 dresses... actually only 3 of those have been bought over here.. this doesnt include the mc hammer pants..dont ask. We spent all of yesterday searching for the perfect dress and after 5km and 3 hrs we managed to find one that was 5 times the price than the same in BKK.. we managed to get them down to 700bht but this is still 2x what we paid for the same type in Bkk... Ok guys i admit i may have blowing quite a bit here and there but i do make up for it.. Because we spent pretty much 3/4 of our daily budget on the dress i decided that maybe we should eat in.. So we went and got some 2 minute noodles and some charcoal chicken and a DVD and we had spent about 150 bht which gave us a lunch and dinner each.. See im fair!!! I must admit the noodles didnt go down to well with Dale.. He spent most of the morning in the bathroom.. I on the other hand am having issues going to the bathroom.. On the bus from Hua-Hin to Chumpon my stomach felt a bit rough so Dale the Doctor decided to give me an Imodium tablet.. It has now been almost 2 weeks and i have used the toilet ONCE!!!!!!!! only ONCE!! So thanks to Dr Dale i have put on a few kilos haha..
Anyway.. we are starting to plan the next part of the trip which is to Ko Pan Ngan.. Where the Full Moon Party is on Sunday.. Not really what we came here to do but atleast we can tick it off the list.. and i bought a new dress for it too..woohoo!! Pretty excited about Ko Pan Ngan but it'll suck cause we are really loving it here.. We have such a good time and really been able to unwind.. Dales been amazing and taking the best care of me..He now checks the bathroom for me everytime before i go due to the last 'incident'..really couldnt imagine being here with anyone else.. Its only been 2 weeks but we have both realised alot.. We miss our family and friends like crazy!! The thought of being away for another 8-10 months is just crazy!!
Enough with the emo crap.. We went to Thai cinemas which was an experience.. We watched the new Terminator which we thought was awesome.. Except the fact that the sound kept cutting out in the cinemas.. And during the commercials they played the national anthem (which we had no clue in the world what it would sound like) and everyone had stood up and we had no idea why..and they were eviling us cause we didnt.. We eventually stood up and have been recently told you can get into serious trouble if you dont stand up..haha lucky escape there.. We have bought a few DVDs..we got the dodgiest copy of Angels & Demons.. and someother good copy ones.. We saw 7 pounds last night.. It was soo sad i cried to Dale about how much i miss evryone haha
I guess you cant take anyone elses word for visiting places because Samui has been the highlight for us so far... The locals are really nice (Sem waves to every person.. and always gets a wave back.. I dont tho.. not sure why?) The expats that live here are cool as well.. theyre not in your face as.. Dean took us to some of the houses of the expats today.. They are just so amzing that we were speechless.. I mean some have like 2 infinity pools and a gym bigger than Fitness First.. Soo craziii..
Ok we are starving and have about an hours drive home on a scooter.. Our bums are soo sore from it.. Dale thinks he is John Connor while he is riding haha he has learnt exactly how to drive like the crazy thai people..
Soo better leave it on this note.. All the best until next time... and good luck with the weather guys haha.. We are missing you all and think of you loads.. seriously!!
PS. My credit card was not stolen (one down - 2 more to go!) .. I lost it.. just like the phones ;)
Yours,
Dale & Sem xxxxxxxxxxxx
