 TOWARD THE JET SKI-Koh Samui by mamasan69
My second trip was quite a bit different in many ways. I still managed to consume way too much alcohol, but my activitites included my first time on a jet ski, and some para-sailing.
The jet ski cost me (500bht) for about a half an hour, but they are pretty good if you are a little late. The sailing was the same price for about a 15-20 minute ride.
They both took a little to get used to, but after that, it was amazing. Blasting along the waves around the beaches and open ocean was definitely a rush. The view of the beach and jungle from up in the air, made me wish I had my camera, and is a beautiful site.
I didn't bring anything but my swimming gear and from where I was staying at Charlies, both activities are very close.
The jet ski rentals are about a five minute walk up the beach to the right of the main path. The para sailing is the same distance but to the left of the main path from the beach restaurant. Leave a Comment Theme: Beach ActivitiesDirections: Central Chaweng Beach, near Charlies Hut, but many like this can be found all around the island.

 Thai boxing by phil_uk_net
At a few places I have seen large westerners go into the ring to take on small Thai boxers. They almost always end up on the losing side! Leave a Comment

With a World Cup bid all but over for the Thai Soccer team, they turned to the best competition they could find to play. In this case, it turned out to be a bunch of elephants!
The competition ended in a one-nil victory for the big boys, and the elephants then went to celebrate the victory by playing a little basketball! Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

 Whale Shark at Chumpon
Pinncale two weeks ago by RonSamui, 1 more photos
As the site is a good distance offshore, in season visibility is excellent, more than 30m (100ft) and Regular sightings of whale sharks and grey reef sharks make this dive site one of the 'musts' of your trip. The pinnacles themselves are completely carpeted with sea anemones, and schools of batfish, barracudas, trevally & fusiliers create a spectacular scene in the surrounding waters..
Searobin Dive Center in Koh Samui uses a state of the art Speedboat to get you to Chumpone pinnacle within 1.5 hours.
As Bangkok air allows only 15kg of luggage without extra charge I recommend only brining your dive computer and mask. The rest of the equipment can be rented and is in great condition.

 The Waverunner by ratherton
Back on land, SIDS also has a number of shops around the island. The largest in Chaweng offers a good range of gear at very reasonable prices. Most importantly, when problems arise, the staff get them sorted out to the customers satisfaction with the minimum of fuse. SIDS are a PADI 5* centre and are well deserved of that accolade.
You can bring your own gear or you rent everything you need from SIDS. It's up to you Leave a Comment

In the US, many years have passed where Shaq has been the most dominate player in the NBA. His bull style of play could probably only be stopped by an elephant. Well... it now appears the Western Conference has began a training regimen for one of the newest NBA stars.
This elephant can dunk as well as dribble (ok, so it was water).
Look at those moves!!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

Sail Rock is a rock formation strutting out in the middle of the sea a bit north of Koh Samui and Koh Tao. The rock has been used as target practice by the Thai Navy (or so I've heard), but the underwater formations are what makes the spot unique. Sail Rock has a 'chimney', a vertical cave starting from appr. 5 m and ending at a depth of 18 m. The chimney is said to be guarded by a trigger fish, couldn't see it, though.

With a speedboat to Ko Toa and a big boat to Sail-rock. Good instructors who want to show you the best.
We took Samui International Diving School. Perfect and we have now a dive-video from our dive - great.
You can rent good diving equipment at the dive-center. Leave a Comment Theme: Scuba Diving
