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!
