Tuesday...Thai island anyone?!

4:30am...rise and shine!!  On the airport transfer bus at 5am, yawn...and checked in for the flight by 5:30am!

So, after the early start we went for a 'bad' western style breakfast (we figured we were due one after going native for so long!) and ventured to the fine establishment which you may have heard of...a la Burger King!  It was not long after starting our saturated fat feast that we realised our bellies had acclimatised to asian cuisine and were now struggling with the carbs!!  Oh dear, things could get messy!!

We were flying with Bangkok Airways again (Bangkok's boutique airline...thats their strapline promise!), and we got free entry to their lounge with more food freebies...just a shame we had filled up already at Burger King!

The plane took off dead on time at 7am, no sooner had the last person stepped on the plane than the doors were closed and we headed off for the runway.  Airborne we were treated to breakfast...why do people keep throwing food at us (we bagged it and have saved it for breakfast tomorrow).

The flight was quick, and before we knew it we were on Koh Samui.  The airport resembled one of the beach bungalows we had flown over; no sooner had we entered the bamboo hut terminal than we collected our luggage and went out to meet our resort rep.  We had booked 3 nights in Tropical Garden Lounge resort, cheap and pleasant enough, we were in a traditional bamboo hut bungalow - we are yet to see what/who visits us in the night...Nicola is sleeping with the bug spray next to her bed!

Next report tomorrow!!
