Asia Trip: Day 51 - Koh Samui (3/6/2019)

Daily Highlights:

• After my twelve hour overnight bus ride, where I got no sleep, we exited the bus at 6am and waited at a wharf for two hours until 8am

• Then we took a one hour bus ride

• Then took a one hour water taxi

• Arrived on Koh Samui!

  • IT’S SO DEVELOPED

  • It didn’t feel like an island, just a city plopped into the middle of an ocean

  • Also the portions here are so small even by Thai standards

  • EVERYTHING SO EXPENSIVE

• After I arrived on the island, I took a one hour tuk tuk ride to a random area of town (I didn’t book anything and just wanted to wing it)

  • The first hostel I saw didn’t have any availability, so I just booked one down the road

  • The new hostel had a weird vibe

• Watched Brooklyn 99

  • So fucking funny

Asia Trip: Day 52 - Koh Samui (3/7/2019)

Daily Highlights:

• Jumped rope in the am and felt awesome

• Rented a scooter

  • Rode around the island for six hours

  • Burnt the shit out of my thighs, forearms, the backs of my hands and my neck

• Got an amazing latte at a quaint little island coffee shop

• Really starting to be a connoisseur of 7-11 toasties in Thailand

  • These are little sandwiches that only cost about a dollar and they are toasted in a panini press and are delicious:

    • Spinach and croissant one is delicious!

    • Ham and cheese croissant blows

      • Hard to have a good microwaved croissant. If they don’t toast it, I don’t get it.

• Watched more Brooklyn 99 because I am burned to shit and tended to my burns

• Went out for the sunset, which was spectacular

• Also moving to another island tomorrow to try to find a place to work and live

Some snaps from wandering to the pier for sunset.
