« One night in Bangkok | Main | Jungle Trekking, Chiang Mai » September 22, 2003 : Koh Samet
20/9 The next day I woke up at 12, so I skipped breakfast - the other guys had already eaten. We packed our gear and went out searching for another place to sleep, and found one just a short walk down the beach. It costed as much as the other one (600 baht for 3 people), but at least the place was a lot nicer and we could borrow an extra mattress to have on the floor. After some time of floating around in the ocean and a walk along the local shoppingstreet (well, that means the only street they have...) we took care of something we had decided to do that day - to become really drunk to get to know each other better. A bottle of thai whiskey and a bottle of Pepsi Blue was acquired to reach this state. At first we sat on the patio outside our bungalow drinking, but there was a lot of mosquitos there that completly ignored the fact that we had smeared ourselves full of anti mosquito cream, so we went down to the beach and drank instead. After an hour or so we went to a place nearby and had some dinner and a couple of beers. It started raining when we were done eating, so we went to a nice place and kept drinking there. After a while a couple of girls sat down at the table next to us, and we started talking to them. They were 23 years old and came from England, had been out traveling for a year and were going home in less than a week, so they had gone to Koh Samet to get some tan first. They were really nice, so we had a fun evening.  When they left us, we decided to head home as well, but took a stop at the beach and drank the last of our thai whiskey. Anders and Frank decided it was a very good idea to do some thai boxing in the darkness, so they started fighting right there on the beach. I tried to get some pictures of them, but it didn't work out very well... Probarbly had nothing to do with the amount of alcohol I had in my blood that evening... :) When they were tired of fighting, we removed our clothes and did some skinny dipping in the ocean... very nice. After that we went back to our bungalow where we probarbly woke up all our neighbours before we went to sleep. A brilliant evening was it anyway! 21/9 We woke up at 12 o clock and went down to the beach to get some breakfast. Met the english girls, so Frank and Anders stayed there to get some sun. I went back to our bungalow to shave my head and so on. Just as I was done, the guys showed up to pick me up for a lunch date. After we had eaten, we explored the island a bit, walking down a lot of beaches.  Took a swim on one of them before we went back to our own beach, were we swam around for an hour or so. Then a quick shower before dinner, and then we tried to use Internet on "our" local internet cafe, but it was so slow there was no way in hell you could actually do something. Crap. Walked back home and read a book and then we went back to get a beer under the palm tree we stayed under the first evening on Koh Samet. A really soft day. 22/9 Woke up on a hard matress - it was my turn to sleep on the floor. Frank is not around and Anders is still asleep, so I went out on the patio and wrote a bit in my diary. When I had nothing more to write, I walked to the Internet cafe for a while before eating another banana pancake for breakfast. Sits down with the others on the beach, when Anna, the german girl, walks by. Decide to go with her and get a cup of coffee while she eats breakfast. Anders and Frank shows up after a while, they are going to walk to the west side of the island. We tag along and walks for like 30-40 minutes to get to the other side. Didn't see much interesting on the way, and the beach on the other side is a bit of a dissapointment, so we head back again. In much need of a bath after walking, we throw ourselves into the ocean again, before eating lunch. And then we spent some more time in the ocean. Life is so hard on you when you are on the road... :) The other guys had set up a dinner date for us with the english girls, so we meet up with them and eat some food and have a couple of beer together. We spot a place a few metres away with cushions on the beach and a guy playing with fire sticks, so we go there and get another beer.  Then Anna and an american girl shows up, they were sitting in the bar at this place, so they join us on the beach instead.  They had been talking to the fire guy in the bar, so after a while, he shows up as well.  Some time during the night the english girls go home, since they are going back to Bangkok early the morning after, to do some (a lot of...) shopping. A bit later, Frank and Anders went home as well. I stayed and talked to Anna, the american girl and the thai guy for a while before heading home, after deciding to meet up the girls the morning after. A great last evening on Koh Samet.
