Koh Samui

Koh Samui was a wonderful place to go for rest (well for Blake and I Any way ) and Caleb and Derryn got into some Muay Thai. 

We packed up our bags from Phuket and took a flight on Bangkok air off to the island.

Caleb at the airport.

Loved the Bangkok air lounge! Free nibbles, drinks and wifi! 

The plane was a little tiny for my liking :/ 

But the boys loved their kids meals - 

Mum was in heaven from the moment we got there! The whole area was so much better than Phuket! 

The beach out the front of our resort. 

Ice cream from the beach vendors. Blake also loved the corn and donut man :) 

This was our first room at Bill resort.  It was up a very huge hill but was great as it had two rooms joined by a little sitting room. 

Down to the pool, beach and restaurant. Daddy got a scooter to get to Muay Thai - or more so get back home after being thrashed.  

Take out in our little sitting room - eating in a restaurant gets annoying three times a day! We found a great restaurant next door to our hotel! We ate there every day :) cheaper and nicer than the hotel restaurant. 

We ate right on the beach 

Breakfast was included in the price - what a view we had every morning while having my coffee.

In the afternoons we helped the thai ladies look for pippies in the sand.  This was lots of fun - dad was really good at it.

Caleb and Derryn really enjoyed their training (as long as you didn't ask them straight after they finished - then the answer was it was horrible).  Derryn joined in the group classes and was treated like a boxing bag and paid 250 baht for the class :) -  and Caleb had a trainer as he was a bit little to join in, it was 1000 baht.  His trainer Jo was very good with him - worked him totally hard for the hour, and said what a trooper he was as he never once complained or stopped! 

Blake and mummy relaxed over the road, drank coffee and sprite and did colouring - the chairs were all set up for spectators 

After a few days in this room it was unfortunately booked so we had to find another hotel :( Derryn went and saw them to see if they might have had another option (as none of the other hotels we looked at suited our wants) and they suggested we took the beach front room as we could fit both the kids on the bed together!!!! And for the same price we paid for the other one!!!! What a score !  3000 baht a night including breaky - about $100 aud 

One of the boy ended up sleeping between the beds on the day bed mattress. 

Absolute paradise and Mum was in heaven! 

Our favourite restaurant next door even delivered dinner straight to our patio 

Yummy spring rolls from the beach. 

Only $1 each. 

We spent most of our day playing on the beach. Oh and drinking beer -  

Caleb made friends with a boy named Troels.  He was the best he said - only problem was he didn't speak English :) his parents translated lol! 

They did lots of fishing every afternoon and played on the beach too.

 

What an awesome time for all! 

Coco & Splash

We went to Coco and Splash water and adventure park. 

We had a great day.

 It cost 2100 baht for all of us to get in.  That is about $70au.  The water slides were made of concrete (Mummy avoided them) 

The boys tried most of them. 

This one was a little wild for dad!!!

With this big one Derryn went to put Blake on his lap facing out but to our surprise they made him turn around. We found out this was for his protection as at the bottom was an all mighty splash - Derryn said he may have some permanent ball damage from the impact :) 

Included in the price were lots of other things to do much to our surprise! A good fun jumping castle was enjoyed by the whole family - 

 

We all enjoyed the bumper boats and had many plays on them!  

Caleb had his own boat to drive around (no photo bad mother - took the camera full of photos and no battery!  Fail) 

Caleb did some huge jumps on the bungy swing.  

Dad ignored mum and went to the big jump. 

He first did the 3.5 metre one, then the 6 metre one twice and then all the way to the top to the 9 metre one! 

This was just before the camera died! We did a round of mini golf and Caleb got to drive his own go kart and daddy took Blake around.  Caleb finished off with an obstacle course.  (Doh no photos) 

In the evening we went down the swing bar to watch the fire show.

  We didn't get any photos but found this one here -

Awesome day !! 

Phuket dinosaur mini golf

Mini golf is a great activity that the whole family can enjoy! We still have to pay for Blake (3years) if he wants to join in - but well worth it for a family fun activity.  We have been there twice now as it is walking distance from our hotel.  It cost 800baht for the family of four to play each time.

The grounds here were so impressive - they have gone to great lengths to make a dinosaur park - even the staff at the restaurant wore Fred Flinstone styled outfits. (We didn't eat here though as the prices were crazy expensive) 

Watch out for the dinosaur poo in the middle of the green!

The boys.

Daddy concentrating very hard.

Inside the Volcano

Cuddles with Dad

Walking up to the top.

Daddy getting the ball in.

Going into the Volcano.

Blake was actually quite good at it!

Yummy Drink.

Caleb's Apple drink (too many bits in it for him.

Enjoying a Beer and some drinks after our game.

Can I just point out here that mum was the winner - after 3 hole in ones!! Can you see my happy dance!   (second time it was daddy who won - much to Caleb's disgust!)
