48: Not leaving just yet

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

I was supposed to leave Koh Samui tomorrow but I extended my stay by a few days at least.
For now I might leave on Saturday the 7th but I just wanted to get a few more days to decide what to do next. There is still lots I have not seen or done on Koh Samui so I hang around for a bit longer until I can make up my mind.

It’s just too convenient here, beach, food, venturing out… plus I have not decided when to do the PADI course yet though it looks like I will move to Koh Tao for this. Got prices for Koh Samui PADI Course and it’s almost twice of what I would have to pay in Koh Tao.

It is a struggle with those pictures but I’m slowly getting there so here is my first attempt to post a picture to my blog

43: Dangerous Indulgence

Friday, December 30th, 2005
I conclude Koh Samui is potentially dangerous ;-) I could get used to this... Sun, White Sandy Beach, Turquoise Waters and excellent Restaurants on the Beachfront which serve food all day and night. During the day plenty of retailers pass you ... [Continue reading this entry]
