So we escaped Pattaya and flew straight to south Thailand to an island, Koh Samui, one of three in the gulf of Thailand.
The small village we ended up at was very nice with the beach hut resort, in north Koh Samui, sitting straight on the beach. The beach itself was great; lovely sand and palm trees and a huge improvement over Pattaya.
It was a little upmarket and the price of food and drink suddenly was raised by over 100% over what we were use too. i.e 1 pound for a G&T and a meal , so we knew that we could not stay here too long, but it was so nice we sat on the beach for two days and tried to figure our ongoing plans for where to stay for two months, for the Divemaster course I would like to do. I was looking forward to doing this in the resort hammock, strung in between two palm trees, visons of G&Ts and a gentle swinging came to my mind, but some fat German tourist broke it... right that's it... the last straw.
We hired out a scooter and checked out the main town where El could transfer her TELF course to, as a possible place to stay, but apart from reminding me of Pattaya it also had a drain problem so not only did it look unappealing it also smelled pretty bad as well!
One Island down two to go, onward and upwards, off to Koh Phagnan we trotted on the middle morning ferry.
