KO PhaNgan

The Full Moon Party is held on KO PhaNgan on the eve of the Full Moon, and what a party it is. I was tempted to jump on one of the speed boats and participate in the fun, But my Dad thought i was still a little to young for that kind of stuff. Plus he still remembers what had happened just a few months earlier when he was here with a couple of his friends, one of the speed boats returning to Samui was overloaded with a bunch of drunk tourist, the operator of the speed boat was traveling way to fast, lost control, and the boat flipped over, yes people died that night. My dad and his friends had left on another boat about 1 hour earlier.
Months later, on my first trip to Asia I visited KO PhaNgan during the daytime and had a very fun and relaxing day on the beach where the party is held.

Not a whale  :-))

Our last full day for this trip to Samui was spent right around the hotel area swimming in the pool and at the private beach. On one of our walks through Chaweng my Dad stopped and bought a plastic bottle of water, which of course we drank, but he also kept the plastic bottle which he later filled with bread, he took the bottle with bread out into the water, when he was far enough away from shore he dove underwater and opened the bottle. The fish showed up about 30 seconds later and they were not all small fish either, someone on shore started to yell something about a whale but it turned out to be dear old Dad . LOL

Laem Sor Bay

Located in the southest point of Ko Samui island. The sign says that it is a beach (Laem Sor Beach), but i write bay because you cannot swimm at this beach (check my photos). Its a place that you can see the Samui archipelago and take some nice pictures with your camera. From the main road at the south there is a sign that write to Laem Sor Beach. Follow the small road to be there.
